Sometimes, the things we leave unsaid stay with us longer than the things we say. The apology we never gave. The truth we kept hidden. The feelings we were afraid to share. In Pieces of Our Past: Stories of Our Future, I explore the dreams, choices, and pieces of ourselves we carry through life.

You don’t need to have the whole roadmap figured out before you begin. Sometimes the story reveals itself as you write. Have a book idea you've been thinking about? Start writing it. Your story begins with that first idea. #WritingTips #WritingCoach #HowToWriteABook #WriteYourBook

It's called Pieces of Our Past: Stories of Our Future and it carries universal truths we are all seeking and regrets we may all seek to heal and parts of us we might wish to reclaim. I hope you enjoy it. Doug

Yes. It's important to have this ambiguity in characters. Not all, but some. Everyone can't be all good or all bad. These are the ones that keep you guessing which way the story is going to go.

This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

I think the emotional truth is really what drives the story. And if it chokes me up, I feel I've done it right.

Writers, you don’t need more ideas. You need to start. 1. Pick the idea you can’t stop thinking about. 2. Write down what you want to say. 3. Write one page. You don’t need the whole book figured out. Just start. Follow for more writing tips and encouragement. #WritingTips #WritingCoach

I wrote The Reluctant Human to explore a simple but difficult question: Can we find our way by first walking the wrong road? A story of pain, redemption, self-discovery, and the hope that it’s never too late to change. Get your copy of The Reluctant Human. Link in the comments.

Hi, I have 7 published books and several more in the works. I have also helped several business owners with their books. But to answer your question about chapters, I have written hundreds.

I remember Dolly Parton’s words: “If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” Writing is much the same. The struggle is part of the journey and sometimes it leads us to our best stories. Keep writing through the rain. #DollyParton #RememberingDolly #Storytelling #WritingInspiration
