A Writer’s Best Practice

2024/12/20

Starting this week, begin practicing how you think when you sit down to write. Practice caring about the story, not what other people think about the story. It’s as important as craft.

You Can’t Control What You Like

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/12/13

We all have a personal aesthetic that’s unique to us. We can’t control it; we can only obey it. In this way, what we create is not dissimilar to the stuff we love that other people created.

Why I Publish

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/12/06

It can be hard to connect to why we publish aside from money and possibly acclaim. It’s important to remember that if you’re sharing something you love, you’re making the world just a little bit better.

Fantasy and Reality

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/11/29

Writing has taught me, and continues to teach me, that the only thing real in life is love. You can’t manufacture it, you can only see it, find it, notice it, and then obey it.

Accepting All Changes

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/11/22

When we work with an editor, we will inevitably accept most of the changes they make to our story. It’s good preparation for sharing our work with readers, giving up our complete ownership as the reader makes the story their own.

Real Commitment

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/11/15

At some point, every artist must commit to their work before they have evidence of success. Let your love of the work be reason enough to make this commitment.

What Comes Before Craft

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/11/08

Learning your craft is critical, but all the know-how in the world is useless without the right mindset. Unless we wait with an open heart and curious mind, we’ll never invite the ideas to which we will apply that craft.

Sometimes The Best Thing to Do Is Nothing

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/11/01

When you’re struggling, when you think you’re no good, when you feel like your story stinks – don’t try to fix anything. Do nothing until the feeling passes and you can make a better choice.

Writing As A Way To Meet Yourself

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/10/24

The point of writing is never the outcome. An outcome is just an excuse to focus in a meaningful way, and when we do, we meet ourselves in a way we rarely do otherwise.

Ignore the Odds

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/10/17

The only real certainty in writing and in life comes when we follow that guidance that tells us what story to write and how best to right it. If you don’t follow that, life will seem random, even though it isn’t.

More Fearless Marketing

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/10/11

Two helpful tips to get over our resistance to marketing: make it fun, and offer a conversation. It’s nearly impossible to do anything well that we don’t enjoy, and we don’t so much sell our books as invite readers to join a conversation.

Pain-Free Writing

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/10/04

When we write, we’re always seeking the effortless way forward. But we often meet resistance. The pain comes when we try to force our way through the resistance rather than find the better, more natural way.

Always Be Creative

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/09/27

You’re an artist. You don’t have to stop being an artist just because you’re marketing your work. Keep being creative in everything you do. It’ll be more fun and more productive.

Writing and The Eternal

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/09/20

People deal with death and loss all the time. Yet writing requires us to tap into something eternal within ourselves, something undying that is always seeking expression.

The Elusive Art of Being Yourself

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/09/13

It shouldn’t be hard to be yourself. What else could you possibly be? Yet writing, and the arts in general, have taught me like nothing else that being myself requires as much trust as anything I’ve ever done.

Meet Your Own Expectations

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/09/06

Sometimes our stories don’t meet our readers expectations of what a story is supposed to be. That’s okay. Our job is always to meet our own expectation. It’s all we can do anyway.

No Bad Writers

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/08/30

Whatever we think about other writers, we think about ourselves. Never call an author whose work you don’t enjoy “bad.” It’s only a matter of time before you look at your own stories and believe they stink and that you have no talent.

You Don’t Have to Listen to Criticism

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/08/23

Getting feedback from writing groups, beta readers, agents, and editors is just fine. But once the story or book is finished, it’s okay not to listen to criticism. It’s time to move on, and hopefully hear from the readers who liked what you’ve done.

Every Choice Matters

Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower ·

2024/08/16

Sometimes in life it can feel like our choices don’t matter. But writing teaches us that all our choices matter, the big ones and the small ones. Those decisions we make are the focus for our creative power.
