If not NOW, then WHEN?
Now you know what to do and when to do it, but that doesn’t mean the rest is easy, does it?
Sometimes you need a little guidance.
Like if you’ve got the best book idea….but no idea where to start to make it a reality.
OR
If you FINALLY finished the draft you’ve been working on for YEARS!
…BUT
You know it’s not ready for someone else to read. Not even your biggest cheerleader.
Don’t worry, I got you.
I have a note on my desk that asks, “Are you a Writer?” The answer is a resounding YES. Therefore, the next step is MAKE A COMMITMENT TO WRITING.
Maybe you’re not a writer. Maybe you’re an artist of another stripe. Sorry, but my advice is still the same. Decide then Commit.
Once you’ve made a commitment, you have a pathway. What’s the 1 thing you need to do to BE THAT THING every single day?
Voila, your new habit.

What’s NEXT?.
If you’re asking what’s next, it’s probably time for a professional to step in.
Don’t worry. That can be you, too. In fact, I firmly believe YOU have got to take your work and your process seriously before anyone else can.
If ANY of this sounds like you, FILL OUT THE FORM. It’s not a commitment. It’s only information.
LIVING WRITE:
WHAT IT IS:
A GUIDED COURSE to help you go from struggling with writer’s block to building a consistent daily routine that guarantees you get your first draft done.
HOW LONG IT LASTS:
5 GUIDED WEEKS. Does that mean you’re on a time frame? Not at all. Sometimes the pressure helps. Sometimes it hurts. You have the option to join a GROUP starting JUNE 2026, or you may contact me for a slower, more asynchronous process.
WHEN IT STARTS:
GROUP starting JUNE 2026
FILL OUT THE LIVING WRITE FORM
EDIT SOBER:
WHAT IT IS:
A GUIDED COURSE to help you go from paralyzed by the “Dirty Draft” to confidently finalizing a polished manuscript using a proven, critical process.
HOW LONG IT LASTS:
5 GUIDED WEEKS. This one has a tighter deadline. You may still go over, but we don’t want the process spinning endlessly. Give it a try at 5 weeks and see how you do. Again, you have the option to join a GROUP starting JUNE 2026, or you may contact me for a slower, more asynchronous pace.
WHEN IT STARTS:
GROUP starting JUNE 2026
FINISH IT:
WHAT IT IS:
1:1 CUSTOMIZED CREATIVE CONSULTING to help you go from STUCK to DONE by transforming your promising, in-progress draft into a completed, polished manuscript with a clear professional blueprint for publishing and monetization.
HOW LONG IT LASTS:
3-6 MONTHS.
WHEN IT STARTS:
ANYTIME you’re ready.
Remember, this is only a start. You are building a habit, and that begins with a single step.
Maybe this is it?

What’s Next:
PAPERBACK PROMO: MAY 2026! It’s here! Order signed copies (2/$20 or 3/$30) on my WEBSITE!
CURRENT NOVEL PROGRESS
ASD Draft 1: GOAL: 50K-word draft by May 1, 2026!
Words so far: 13,369
I spent some time away from the draft: thinking, planning, and revisiting old notes. It wasn’t wasted time at all, but now I feel behind on the draft itself. That’s ok; it’s part of the process. Easy for me to tell “someone else.”
I was reminded of my 50k reward when I haven’t earned my 20k. That’s also OK. One comes before the other but if the latter motivates me…well…maybe that’s something.
