What does it mean to be a journeyman writer? In my newest Old Dog Dumps post, “Steady Pace or Flying Leaps? The Path from Apprentice to Journeyman Writer,” I share a bit about my long writing apprenticeship. Here’s a taste: “Milksop is Evan Mulder’s coming-of-age story—the tale of what happens to him the summer he turns 18. The story is my coming-of-age as a novelist—I’ll be 65 when it comes out. Arriving at this coordinate on the map of my life has involved one long apprenticeship, a steady-paced journey, but also some big leaps.” I hope you enjoy this window into the story of my writing life, and, as always, if the spirit moves you, please share your thoughts, as well as the post!
