Today, we’re going to talk about writing story hooks. So, what is a story hook? Well, a hook is really just something in the story that grabs your attention or your curiosity and drags you along through the story.

Today, I want to discuss the topic of finding inspiration. It’s a subject I revisit from time to time, as the sources of my inspiration often change. Occasionally, I find myself stuck in a rut, searching in the same places but not finding the quality of inspiration I seek.

Imposter syndrome is one of the weirdest things about being a full-time author. It’s just super bizarre because we feel imposter syndrome regardless of where we are in our career.

Well, hello everybody. I am back from the Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio. I had planned on recording a bunch of content while I was there to show everybody what I was up to, but I didn’t.

Not too long ago, I spent a week near where my parents live. As part of that, I got access to a bunch of books that I used to read growing up. It was a fascinating experience because as soon as I saw them, these happy feelings just burst up inside of me. It got me thinking about books that really impacted not just my life, but the way I tell my own stories.

In his book, Atomic Habits, James Clear posits that every action we take is a vote cast for our future self. Today, I want to revisit a concept I’ve discussed before. I believe it’s crucial to continually remind ourselves of this idea, so I’m recording this video as a way of reinforcing it for myself.

Some time ago, I made a video on a concept called “Books Sell Books.” I thought it was time for another update because I recently received some surprising information. It shouldn’t have been surprising, considering everything I talk about, but it was surprising to me. I thought it might be helpful to share it with all of you.

When I was at the subscription summit, one of the attendees made a comment to me that I thought was very interesting and would be worth exploring a little bit more. The comment was that rest is as much a part of the creative cycle as work is.

Today I’m going to cover a recap of my experience at the Ream Stories subscription summit, which I just attended in Boston. I had a tremendous time. If you ever get the opportunity to go to a Ream Stories event, I highly recommend it.

A viewer named Dan left me a comment on YouTube, and I thought it would be good to answer his question. The video that I recorded is a bit longer, but in today’s blog I want to cover the first part of that video.
