A Moving Tribute to a Jedi: Kenobi by John Jackson Miller

Kenobi is a beautiful surprise, a wonderful scene in the larger arc of the Star Wars drama. I had no idea what I was in for when I started it, and I’m glad I gave it a try. It’s an exciting and moving story of one of Star Wars most important characters. I had stopped […]

A Ten Dollar Investment: Million Dollar Productivity by Kevin J. Anderson

  Spoiler alert: the trick to writing productivity is writing all the time. And you have a lot more time than you think. I promise. Seriously.
