Writing on the Road

September 27, 2016 by Christopher Gronlund 1 Comment

I recently did a podcast about business travel because I, and the friend I do the podcast with, have each recently traveled for work. A recent trip brought him to New Orleans, and I spent a week in Los Angeles. I know many people who live for business travel. Hell, I work for a large […]

The Ways Stories Change

September 25, 2016 by Christopher Gronlund Leave a Comment

Wave breaking in choppy water

I recently released a story on Not About Lumberjacks called “Purvis.” It’s described like this: In 1984, a Dungeon Master struggles with keeping the few friendships he has together, all while dealing with a vicious bully. When Dungeons and Dragons is your only reprieve from the cruelties of life, the game becomes much more than […]

[Another] Interview with Mark Hosack

The Good Spy Dies Twice - https://www.amazon.com/Good-Dies-Twice-Bullseye-Book-ebook/dp/B01IMZZ39M

Mark Hosack is a busy guy. When he’s not busy helping raise three young daughters, he’s writing screenplays, directing movies, editing movies and trailers, and scouting locations for commercial shoots (in fact, this interview was done while he was on location shooting a commercial for a major restaurant known for their breakfasts). So why not […]

The Right Kind of Lazy

September 9, 2016 by Christopher Gronlund Leave a Comment

Relaxing in the grass

Friday mornings mean the arrival of Austin Kleon’s weekly newsletter — one of the few I subscribe to. This week, he linked to this piece by Cal Newport. If you don’t feel like following the link, it’s an article about how some people deemed big in their fields are/were also seen as a bit lazy. […]

Writing’s Effect on Others

September 9, 2016 by Christopher Gronlund Leave a Comment

Dungeons and Dragons dice

I finished a story for the next episode of Not About Lumberjacks on Wednesday. My wife read it yesterday and came back to the office to tell me she finished it. She liked it quite a bit, which is always good. (Especially because I wasn’t sure how this one would sit with her.) And then […]

Year Seven

Orange Leaves in Autumn

Seven years ago, I was working for an aviation consulting firm. I was regularly traveling to Oregon, helping a client take over my job. (I also traveled to Washington and Georgia (for two months) with that job.) On December 17th of that year — shortly before Christmas — I was laid off after the company […]

Is Writing Hard Work

September 5, 2016 by Christopher Gronlund 2 Comments

Welder working

For me, Labor Day weekend is usually three days of writing. This Labor Day weekend, canoeing got in the way — and I’d be foolish to complain about that. Yesterday morning, I ate breakfast on a small island inhabited by only my wife and me. There’s nothing bad about that! (Or heading out Friday to […]

Off to a Good Start

September 1, 2016 by Christopher Gronlund 1 Comment

Sprinter in the starting block

We all have our seasons. For me, there’s something about the time from September and all the way into April that is wonderful. Specifically, though, the next three months are usually my best writing months. Mornings are dark, meaning quiet time as people sleep longer and the world stays hushed just a little longer than […]
