Of late I've been struggling with what to write. An idea would grab my attention and sit for a day or two in my head, then suddenly disappear. That's rarely happened. Til now. Also, more often than before, I now find myself waiting until the night before my weekly blog deadline, sweating buckets just to … Continue reading Endless Scrolling Is Killing My Attention & Writing. So How Do I Transition Out Of Scrolling?

New Writer Series: Living With Less

A couple of weeks ago, I met up with a fellow writer. We first got to know one another in 2024 and bonded over, what else, writing. Since that year, we've met up several times and texted one another even more. Always nice to have another writer to talk to about writing, and all the … Continue reading New Writer Series: Living With Less

Happy New Year! It's been over a month now since I took my annual year-end writing break. But something's a little different about this recent hiatus. I didn't miss writing as much as before! Blogging consistently over the past eight years, I've always looked forward to a new year of creating and writing whenever January … Continue reading What Will My Writing Look Like In 2026?

Typically when one has hit his 500th blog post (which I did two years ago), there's already a strong sense of accomplishment. But why stop there, right? The next aim should be the 1,000th blog post. While I certainly don't plan on stopping, I think 700 is about as good a midway check point now … Continue reading My 700th Post In My 7th Year Of Blogging Is All About The Next 7 Years

When It Comes To Writing, Am I Asking Too Much?

~ Kelbungy ~ Leave a comment

A few years ago, when I started looking for like-minded writers (to share a common love for, and commiserate about, writing), I had hoped to replicate the success I had finding other stay-at-home dads like me to join a community to talk about parenting. Silly me. Thinking they -- writers and stay home dads -- … Continue reading When It Comes To Writing, Am I Asking Too Much?

Resting From Book Writing (For Now)

By now, this should be familiar territory for me. Having had my writing rejected before by other publishers, the latest rejection (five days ago) of my book manuscript no longer has the sting the previous ones did. In fact, it was actually liberating and affirming in ways I didn't expect. And to top it off, … Continue reading Resting From Book Writing (For Now)

Let me state upfront in this new year I'm well aware titling this blog post entry the way I did might come across as insensitive. Cos, after two weeks, the ravages of the recent California fires are still being felt in America.  But the "fired up" analogy does capture to a large degree my thoughts … Continue reading All fired up for more opportunities this new year!

Sitting here as the sun's about to rise on the last weekend of 2024, I find myself finally musing over my 2024 reflections as well as my resolutions for the new year ahead. I've been on a break from writing since the start of the month. It's something that happens every December as I take … Continue reading My 2024/25 Reflections & Resolutions

Yes siree it's that time of year again for me to hang up my proverbial quill as I wrap up my sixth year of blogging. Typically when December comes around, I try to 'rest' my blog for a month. Not to stop writing mind you. That would be tantamount to creative suicide. In the past … Continue reading Speaking up through blogging & more! A look-back at 2024

Attending A Writers Conference –The “Good” & The “Not-So”

~ Kelbungy ~ Leave a comment

When attending any writers conference, it's always a question mark whether it'll be time well spent. Some can go overly long, especially with speakers who get too carried away by the sound of their own voices. Or, worse, those that touch on stuff you already know. Or, you could pick up great ideas that will … Continue reading Attending A Writers Conference –The “Good” & The “Not-So”
