Almost Gone

There is a threshold we all reach in our creative pursuits. Move forward? Stay put and give up? This writing adventure is costing me so much time and money, perhaps I'll just melt away in obscurity and forget I was ever here...

My new website launched today. I'd love feedback from all you wonderful people in the creative world before I start my search for a new publisher and agent on my next series of books. Thanks!

When I was an actor I had a "like me" tag on the back of my shirt. I thought it was part of my job... Now that I write books, I want people to "appreciate my work if its well-done. If it isn't their cup of tea, fine. If I offend a sensibility, that's their issue. Thick skin as a writer comes from intellectual understanding. Its resilient and callused, developed from years of being bruised. You won't stay a writer long without constant growth.

Whew! An author website redesign marathon! Now I have to see if it publishes and populates tomorrow! Been busy this past year...

I talk with such a variety of people on a daily basis about my writing, acting and singing careers and the most compelling advise I offer is the phrase, "I was there." Don't measure your success by dollars and fame. Do your best work, be the best person you can be. Honor others and above all, honor yourself for having tried to the best of your abilities with what is available to you at the time.
