About SquarePeg Books

Some things just don’t fit, no matter how hard you try.

The square peg that just will not fit into the round hole.

It’s a harsh reality that most writers face: you can write to fit the current algorithm, or you can write the stories you actually care about.

The first has a better chance of making money, but burnout will catch up to you in the end.

The second probably won’t be as financially rewarding, but you’ll be much happier in the long run.

Storytelling has a long tradition in human history, but not all stories are for everyone.

Which is a good thing, because that means we have limitless ways to tell a story, despite what the industry says.

Fitting in isn’t for everyone.

Don’t file down your corners just because you don’t fit someone else’s definition.

    In your ISWG bog I loved the word ‘piddle’ my thought and deed exactly for Twitter.

    I love writer’s yoga position #37. It feels so good to stretch the ass after so much writing.

      One must keep the gluteals properly toned, otherwise poor quality work seeps out of unpleasant places, and discomfort deludes us into thinking it’s okay to publish, when it’s perhaps best to not discuss such things.

      On the other hand, if one’s piriformis is too tight, it creates stiffness, preventing flexibility and making it impossible to to see the myriad and fun possibilities for any given moment in our writing.

      But I still haven’t mastered position #42 – I look like a drunken flamingo.
