I’ve never hidden any of my content behind a paywall, and I never will because I want every word I write to be available to even those who cannot afford a monthly subscription. But if you have a little more to spend and you still like to support me, you can send me something here and help me greatly:

I’m a simple dude. Father-of-five, complicated personal life. Trying to make writing, which is my passion, into my livelihood but can’t do it alone. :)
I’m just some random dude on Quora, I take my writing advice from my betters. Stephen King wrote a total of 65 full-length novels, 91 published items if we include shorter stories and various collections. The man is insanely productive. Now look at his office, where he does his writing:
It’s essentially a “work station”. King keeps office hours. His writing is a nine-to-five job. So he goes to work, does his thing, and then when he’s done for the day, he’s done for the day. You have to keep hitting the keys. You have to keep churning out material. It may be great, it may be awful, it may be anywhere in between but you have to produce. I’m by no means the next Shakespeare or Hemingway but when I compare my earlier Quora answers from five years ago, a lot of my more recent work is infinitely better…
…and a lot of it is mediocre, too. You can’t always hit a home run. But the only way to become better at writing, is to write more. The same way you become better at boxing or swimming or making love by doing more of it. It’s that simple.
