Something Good in the World: Let’s Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day This Weekend I was going to write something else for today’s column, something complain-y but righteous that would allow me to get some stuff off my chest and maybe even get some rage clicks. Shit is bad. But I…

Thanks to Interstellar Flight Press for their kind review of MEXICANS ON THE MOON!
"Mexicans on the Moon isn’t just topical and relevant; it’s a necessary and important collection. Iniguez writes the kind of poetry we need to save America, and Earth as a whole.”

Boldly write what no one has written before. - Wrtr - Background shows a round starship over a blue colored planet from space.

The feeling of exploring a story is definitely worth the challenge as an author. Be a positive influence. - Wrtr #amwriting #amediting .. #author #writing

Writing is a lonely job. Having someone who believes in you makes a lot of difference. They don't have to make speeches. Just believing is usually enough. -Stephen King - Background shows a cafe wall with a picture and wood siding halfway up from the floor. A long half oval table is attached to the wall with wooden top stools waiting to be used. A notpad sits on this table with a pen just waiting to be used to write a vivid story.

“When you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book.” - Stephen King #amwriting ~Whether you wrote that book or someone else. Writing. #author #writing
