Redefining Writing Success
I write a book every year, so why is it that I only have one traditionally published book to my credit, and that was way back in 2017? If I dwell too long on the amount of time that elapsed between novels, I feel a...
What Are Your Writing Goals?
Do you have any writing goals? Other than becoming a best-selling author earning big royalties, do you know what your writing goals are? Have you listed them somewhere? Or is this list in a constant state of flux? Well, for me, yes, I have to put...
The Personal Essay
Journaling has been a part of my life for as far back as I can remember. My grandmother kept a journal, using whatever notebook was handy. When she passed away, we found these notebooks in various different drawers and cupboards in her apartment. A real...
It’s Time to Write
“I don’t have time.” How many times have we heard that excuse? Perhaps we’ve used it ourselves. Here’s another one: “I’m too busy living life to write about it.” We are writers, creative individuals. It’s small wonder we’re also creative in our ways to avoid doing...

Forensic DNA and Writing
The 1900s saw the evolution of perhaps one of the most important things to man - DNA. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) was first discovered in the mid-to-late 1800s by Swiss researcher Friedrich Miescher - not by James Watson and Francis Crick. This is a common misconception but James Watson...
Medical Inspirations: Broken Heart Syndrome
When we think of a broken heart, many of us think of the cartoon broken heart with a jagged line down the middle. Obviously, our hearts don’t look like that and they can’t really break. Or can they? In fact, you can actually have a broken...
Victimology When Writing
Many of us are fascinated with criminals and what makes them tick. However, we often forget those they have affected - their victims. This includes not just the person(s) who was affected by the criminal act, but those present at the scene of a crime...
