On this week’s episode, I answer a listener question:
The one most important thing to focus on is writing.
I hear terribly incomplete advice given to writers.
Two things I ask myself before any project
There are several things in common with the books I really enjoy.
So what are the three most important focuses for a young writer? I’ll give you five.
Don’t Give Up—the best book is stuck in somebody’s drawer. Now, with Amazon and everything, self-published books are much more viable. You don’t have to sell out of the back of your trunk anymore. Questions for Listeners

The toughest thing I had to do was distance myself from that pier.

On this week’s episode, I talk about my passion for cooking outdoors, reveal my secret recipe for the best grilled vegetables ever, and discuss why I like to put things that I actually use into the stories in my books.
I am kind of a foodie.
I’m a grill guy, and I love the charcoal taste.
For years I have put things in my books that I like or use.
Secret Recipe: We will cut up whatever vegetables we have and cover them with an Italian dressing to soak for a little while. We’ll then put the vegetables in a basket that goes in our Kamado Joe, and smoke them at about 350 degrees.

On this week’s episode, I talk about the new “anger management”—conflict resolution.
When I hear the term still used, I always think, “Anger management? Why would you want to manage something like that and not get rid of it?”
Society believes two things about change.
However, I believe the two things people need are…
When something is demonstrably good for you, that change will occur whether you are looking for it or not.
Imagine conflict resolution as two people across from each other on opposite sides, playing double solitaire.
A resolution to conflict is going to require change, and the change must have both parties winning.
Are you feeling “stuck” in some part of your life?
