Quote of the Day
“Writers who fear failure avoid starting. Writers who fear success avoid finishing.” Jaime Buckley in Writers in the Storm. (See Of Interest)
Jaime Buckley is the founder of Life of Fiction on Substack. (If you don’t want to subscribe, click “I’d like a sample first.”)
Also, you can learn “how to build a sustainable publishing practice at JaimeBuckley[dot]com and through the online course Substack for Authors.” (If you don’t want to subscribe, click “I’m doing fine, thanks.”)
I strongly recommend you check out these sites. Jaime even offers several free courses.
What Can I Tell You?
About fiction writing, I mean: What can I tell you that I haven’t already passed along over the years in TNDJ?
If any questions occur to you, let me know either in an email or in a comment on this post. Even if I’ve talked about your topic before, if you ask a question or comment about it, at least I’ll know it’s something that interests you.
As to the long entry under Quote of the Day above, I have no idea how Jaime Buckley writes, but judging from his post on Writers in the Storm, he’s kicked out from under the worst myths and seems very knowledgeable to me.
You can also still email me anytime at harveystanbrough@gmail.com to receive, free, the TNDJ archives from 2021 through 2024.
I have other years available too, but those years in particular cover pretty much every topic I’ve ever offered in TNDJ, including a couple of nonfiction books I published here first as posts.
The archives are in fully searchable PDF format, so you can search for and read about your area of interest and skip over the rest. And again, they’re free.
Remember too that there are free articles at the Journal website under the On Writing Fiction tab.
Finally, you can find dozens of writer resources at my author site under the Writer Downloads and Other Writer Resources tabs.
Talk with you again soon.

Jaime Buckley Free Content There might be more, but this was easy to link to.
JaimeBuckley Concepts Also seemingly free.
Why do his posts and art seem straight out of ChatGPT
Do they? I guess you’d have to ask him. I didn’t notice, but then I didn’t spend very long on his Substacks. I based the post primarily on his quote and his own post in Writers in the Storm. Sound advice is still sound advice despite the source.
