Should you stick to one genre?

Monday, November 9, 2020 • Duration 13:18

If you do some research on working as a writer, you will find one piece of advice that comes up in relation to marketing. That advice is to stick to one genre. This advice makes marketing sense. If you write in the same genre, the people who enjoy your books will enjoy all your books. If you are going to write westerns, and you build an audience that enjoys your westerns, they are less likely to enjoy the scifi you write. You are throwing them a curveball of some sort. But what if this marketing advice leads you down a bad writing path. We are going to be talking about that today.

Developing Unique Story Ideas

Monday, July 6, 2020 • Duration 08:51

I don't think finding story ideas is difficult. If you went on a journey of asking any author whether it was difficult to find story ideas, you would only need to point to the millions of published books, and that author would have to agree that finding story ideas is easy. We exist in a sea of stories. What an author would say then is that finding unique story ideas is difficult. And I used to agree with this sentiment. I would worry that the story I told would be too similar to another's story idea. And if my story idea was too similar, I am just putting out some odd inferior clone of a book already on the market.
Today, I do not think the process of generating story ideas is difficult at all. In fact, I find it to be one of the most fun aspects of the creative process. This is because I have found a way to find story ideas and develop those story ideas into something that has not been seen before.

Story Ideas: The 5 Best Places to Find Them

Thursday, July 2, 2020 • Duration 10:51

Maybe you are looking at the world around you and all you see is a mass of gray blobs that are hard to differentiate from one another. Life seems boring. Life seems static. Life is heavy on your shoulders, and when you decide you want to write a book, you do not see anything that you can use as inspiration. This is a problem. Since nothing is truly original, we must depend on the things around us for ideas. We must draw ideas from the world, distill it through our psyche, and synthesize it into a new form of art. I have good news. The world has endless ideas to use. The world has so many ideas that if you open up your eyes and mind to them, you'll likely drown. Here are five fertile areas you can look into to find excellent ideas.

Endless Story Ideas: Approaching Life as a Creative

Wednesday, July 1, 2020 • Duration 09:05

Are you someone who looks enviously at others who are able to come up with ideas without effort. If that is the case, this episode is for you. These epiphanies writers, artists, musicians, etc. . . have do not come from nowhere. They are a specific mental process. It only looks like these people are able to arrive at ideas magically because they have developed a specific way of looking at and thinking about the world. "So, what?" you answer. "How does that help me?" If you are able to understand this thinking process, you can practice it, and after you have taken enough time practicing, it will be come a more natural way of thinking.

Art in the Margins

Wednesday, March 18, 2020 • Duration 45:34

Sometimes it seems like media is central to our modern world. It is easy to be entertained every second of the day. I can open up one of the many video or audio streaming services and watch or listen all day long. One thing that is important to remember is that art and creative work are things that exist in the margins. But just because these things are in the margins does not mean they are unimportant.

The Importance of Understanding Your Culture

Wednesday, March 11, 2020 • Duration 41:46

Every artist exists within a context. That context is called culture, and every artistic piece is reflecting and reacting to that culture. In this week's episode, I talk about the importance of why a person should study and understand their culture. I believe it allows the artist to create better art with more depth.

Is the Character Right for the Story?

Wednesday, March 4, 2020 • Duration 49:53

Stories are wrapped up in their main characters. I would argue that the characters are the most important part of stories. When we look at characters, it is important to match the correct character to the story. A middle-aged man would not be a good main character for Harry Potter. Citizen Kane would not work if the main character was lazy. The character is important to what story is told.
