About This Endeavor

The only way to fail is to quit; everything else is just a setback.


I am a struggling writer and recently, I realized that's really the only kind of writer there is. From best-selling authors to those of us just trying to put pen to paper every day, roughly 98% of us struggle with it at one point or another. The thing that distinguishes us as writers, as opposed to just people who want to or like to write, is that we keep at it.

We keep writing.

No matter what.

I'm learning to let go of my preconceived notions, learning to stop holding myself to some false standard, some self-imposed deadline, some made-up notion of what a writer really is.

A writer writes. Which is, quite frankly, a lot harder than it sounds.

About Me
I write in Denver, Colorado. To pay the bills, I write and edit official travel guides for various cities. In the dark of the night and the secret corners of my free time, I write. I'm working on a young adult fantasy novel of undecided name, indeterminate length, and fluctuating subject matter.

But that doesn't matter. What matters is that I keep writing.

Keep writing.

Keep writing.

Hope you'll join me and do the same.
