As an author, I dig what this is saying since it resonates so well with my journey as an author. Everything I publish is one more chance to connect with people who are drawn to other people in motion. I'm still learhing how to bring people along and inspiring others to create.
Writing the Struggles – Insecurity, vulnerability – these are things my readers don’t talk about. My job as a writer is to talk about the stuff my readers don’t want to discuss. How do you smile when your mom just died? What does it feel like to go to school on an empty stomach? When does it get better when your mom is an illegal immigrant?
Maker culture isn’t just a buzzword—it’s who I am. Creativity, craftsmanship, and curiosity run in my DNA. Mesh celebrates that energy and connects creators who build, invent, and inspire.
As an author, I'm working on different stories and projects all the time. Main thing is to keep thinking of new things to do, I've already written and self-published 20+ short stories, and I've written two middle-grade scifi novels.
One thing I've come to understand about the process is that becoming a self-sufficient author is very similar to being a startup - only you're a startup of yourself. Building the product, building your market, building the infrastructure, watching what your other 'startups' are doing - it's all part of the process.
Our challenges of today aren’t an excuse to abandon our tomorrow. Fear of failure isn’t grounds for indifference. Improbable isn’t the same as impossible.
[Written for kids to encourage them to think about the future of space travel]
Space week coming up, so let’s talk about getting to the next level of space elevators. As you know, I’m intensely interested in them as part of my novel Mike.Sierra.Echo.
Scientists still believe this can work and I do, too! That’s why I propose an honest, direct conversation about the challenges of building a space elevator. That way, we can work on it together! Someone is going to crack this code, and I want to be a part of that history.
