Sure, you could write for only some people, but why not create content that can be enjoyed by MORE people?
Considering Reader Needs
I decided to write about helping other humans. This post will give you some starting information about digital accessibility, which is a set of standards for assisting people with various physical or cognitive abilities.

So Mike, How Many Books Ya Working On?
That's a good question. Over the years, I've spoken about starting various projects, and sometimes it's hard to keep track. What are the chances my answer is "more than one"? #amwritingfantasy #amwriting #amwritingfiction #thelostroyals

Like a lot of creative people, I'm curious about varying mediums and challenging myself. Until recently, I hadn't shared the lyrical side of my repertoire, but yeah, I've written a few songs.

Wait…you’re also a lyricist?
Like a lot of creative people, I'm curious about varying mediums and challenging myself. Until recently, I hadn't shared the lyrical side of my repertoire, but yeah, I've written a few songs. It has always been about entertaining myself, exploring other kinds of writing, and keeping my skills sharp. Genres include hip hop in the style of Prince's 90s NPG era, hardcore punk, and country.

It was like someone gave him a manual for hacking my writer's brain. I wasn't complaining.
Writing Exercise – An unexpected prompt
I share these techniques as examples of the tools in my writer's toolbox. Even when I'm enjoying a simple writing exercise, I'm using these tools without having to think about them. It means the creativity flows better and the effort of writing is more joy than work.

If you're lucky, people will positively react to your creativity. If you're *really* lucky, you'll inspire them to create something of their own.
Sharing is caring…and inspiring
As I described the protagonist's torment, generosity, and selflessness, my colleague was enthralled in that way storytellers hope their audiences will be. He pulled more detail from me, asked probing questions, and was otherwise highly engaged. The experience was rewarding in a way that makes you feel better about your creative projects.

Don't force collaboration - let it come naturally. Or better yet, stumble into it and see what happens.
Collaboration like peanut butter and chocolate
We shared our projects and the things that fired our creativity. We delighted in finding someone who was mutually respectful, energized by the creative process, and with whom the conversation was never forced. We discussed the craft, each from our own experience and through the language of our chosen medium.

When you get an idea, write it out, not matter what sparked it.
Writing Exercise – The An-Teak Desk
"It’s a teak desk.” He grabbed the sheets. “Close your eyes and hold your breath.” He watched her cheeks puff out then tugged the filthy coverings away. Gentle as he was, the disturbed dust still filled the air like someone had shaken a desiccated snow globe. They coughed and rubbed their eyes, and when the air had settled, they beheld a magnificent and monstrous desk.

Any Rancid fans? This album name kept going through my head as I watched packs of Minnesotans pour into the streets to protect our neighbors. So, I created this.

I created this a few days ago and shared it on my other socials, and since it's being shared like crazy, I'm posting here, too.
I borrowed a bit of the DIY punk ethos and the famous Black Flag logo (and one of their song titles) to create this.

Some answers are easy....once you put some thought into the actual articulation of those instinctual things floating about your head.
What do you enjoy about being an author?
I already knew the answers. I just didn't know which words I needed to express myself.
