Sorry, but there’s no market for your idea…

Amy L Sauder

Many artists, entrepreneurs, and dreamers hear that there's no market for their dream. It's dire, folks, but here's some hope for ya. Psst! I heard that some odd sort of people prefer watching videos over reading articles. Super weird. But weird people are my type of people, so I made a video preview of this… Continue reading Sorry, but there’s no market for your idea…

A little feedback can go a long way

Amy L Sauder

Last week I shared the survey results for my quirky meta murder mystery book title. Maybe you want feedback but there's no way you'll hear from 50 people on a survey like I did (I asked thousands of people for that help.) But I wanted to share that I already thought I knew how the… Continue reading A little feedback can go a long way

Sometimes you don’t need skill

Amy L Sauder

In your creative pursuits, strive for excellence of course. "Study to show yourself approved." Don't put out rubbish and expect people to pay for it because it's authentic and from the heart. Ech. But also branch out. I've got a reasonable amount of skill in music and writing and arguably fashion - though not runway fashion,… Continue reading Sometimes you don’t need skill

Why I wanna be like Ksenia Anske when I writerly grow up

Amy L Sauder

Although, let's be real: Ksenia and I don't plan on actually growing up in our writerly lives. It's more like staying daydreaming children forever, but then pretending to be grown-up long enough to do the business stuff. I don’t remember how I discovered Ksenia. But I do remember what stuck in my mind about her:… Continue reading Why I wanna be like Ksenia Anske when I writerly grow up

The blehhhhhhh of plan B

Amy L Sauder

Plan A was to write this blogpost about Plan B. Then my boyfriend said, "Not like going to the pharmacy for Plan B?" and then Plan B was to preface this blogpost with this paragraph. No, it has nothing to do with pharmacy plan B! Okay, now that we've got that cleared up..... Plan A was… Continue reading The blehhhhhhh of plan B

Pirate queens get a happily ever after too

Amy L Sauder

I would love to hear a feminist analysis of this, but I don't think I'm studied enough in feminist theory to do it justice. But the themes of this tale are still true of all us dreamers. Here I continue my analysis of the story of two queens and how their dreams correlate with us… Continue reading Pirate queens get a happily ever after too
