Just a short topic this week, but one that gave me a surprisingly emotional reaction. How do you regard your fledgeling poems or stories from yesteryear? Sure, some writers will adopt a little false humility at dinner parties to avoid repelling an audience, but how do you really view those works? They did come in … Continue reading Respecting Your Early Writings (3:25)

I Don’t Want to Write Today
Can we chat for a second? Great, because I'd really rather do that today than write. (Just please don't read too much into that as a reason for Wreadcasts.) What I'm wrestling with is the age-old crux, that unvarnished heart of every worn writing adage: the only way to improve writing is to keep writing. … Continue reading I Don’t Want to Write Today

Writing Everything Twice (Wreadcast .6 – 6:35)
For so many years, I had a simple view of writing any poem or story essentially once. I wrote them as the seeds took root and pruned them into final drafts as able. This is a wonderful model for anyone afflicted with the writing compulsion. Recently, however, I realized a second shaping was necessary for … Continue reading Writing Everything Twice (Wreadcast .6 – 6:35)

Editing “Weynid the Savage” Pt. 1
Recently, I unearthed some rough drafts along with stacks of old notebook journals. One of them (below) was workshopped several years ago with a wonderful friend and fellow writer. I have been seeking something I can polish into a finished piece of fiction as an example of substantive editing for you as I go along. … Continue reading Editing “Weynid the Savage” Pt. 1
I’m Crafting a Home Office (Wreadcast .5 – 6:41)
The trend of working some or all of the time from home looks like it's here to stay. When you reach the point where a laptop on the couch just isn't quite cutting it, it's time to carve out a permanent space for productivity. I'm at that very point this autumn. Inspired by Leo Babauta … Continue reading I’m Crafting a Home Office (Wreadcast .5 – 6:41)

Letting Autocorrection Take the Helm
After wrestling with autocorrection for the thousandth time, I begin to wonder if maybe there's more to story. Have I overlooked some different approach that could repair this partnership? Maybe it's all just been a case of stunting my eager assistant with all of my knee-jerk negativity and constant counter-correcting? I mean, look: that's definitely … Continue reading Letting Autocorrection Take the Helm

It's also been said before that had WREADITOR fully understood how welcoming and dynamic this writing community could be, the site would've existed so much sooner. The following is just a small token of thanks to the readers and writers (and … Continue reading A Short Note of Gratitude (Wreadcast .4 – 0:45)
