Start Here -
my author website.
my writing for a living website
my personal writing, book, and journal site
my real estate site
This is a quick guide to this site.
When I first started writing, I just wrote the way I talked. One of my real estate customers asked me if I had a book or video about my business. I decided to make one for a sales tool. Like a business card.
Then when I started writing more, I discovered that there existed rules. Rules I didn’t even know about.
I had to scramble not only to discover the rules but also to discover if there was a way to make money from my writing.

Now, I write a good bit. As I do my real estate less, I still need to pay bills, so I work at writing pretty hard.
I have self-published a lot, and recently, a traditional literary agent asked me to spend more time here and increase my mailing list. It was suggested that many of my readers have little interest in writing or learning how.
Therefore, this is now divided into two parts- my author website and my author newsletter- (journal and misc. grumbling.) Both are free now, but I do ask you to support me and my writing if you possibly can. Thanks!
My Creds: 32 books, 1100+ articles.
Since my journey was difficult for me, it is my desire to share it with you in a common, real-life manner so my journey can hold meaning and help for you, without costing you a fortune.
And we’ll have some fun while we’re at it.
1. This site will mostly be free, except for a secret part about one special site, that’s risky to publish.
Even though I do have bills to pay, it is my promise that this entire site will never be behind a subscription paywall. It will be free for those who wish to become a writer. It took me years of searching engines, how-to articles, and YouTube videos as well as trying and practicing the things I learned.
2. You will help me if you subscribe, even for free.
You will also help if you share with your friends.
3. There will be ways you can contribute if you wish to.
You can pay for a subscription, but you will not receive any extra gifts or privileges as being a free subscriber gets you, or there may be places for a one-time gift. Stories that start on this site and finish via a free link to Medium, won’t cost you anything but will help me by giving me a “read” even though it is a free read.
4. There will be merch for sale.
They may or may not be attractive to you. you can live without them, anyhow.
5. There may be affiliate links.
When clicked, they will take you to a place where you can purchase something I am talking about. It won’t cost you more but will make me a bit of money.
To clarify our current schedule…
Medium Stories posted Mondays and Wednesdays- free, no subscription needed.
Back Pages Journal may ramble your way on Tuesdays and Thursdays. - free, but requires a subscription.
Fiction, once a week, often on Wednesday - paid subscription
A Deeper Doofus, lame commentary and writing secrets appearing at odd and often unpredictable times - free subscription now, paid subscription soon.
Email recaps/digests sent weekly on Fridays - free and paid subscriptions.
