IWSG Question of the Month: Being a writer, when you’re reading someone else’s work, what stops you from finishing a book/throws you out of the story/frustrates you the most about other people’s books? Oh gosh, there’s any slew of things and it’ll range from griping the remainder of the way through to just giving up.Continue reading “Throwing in the Towel #IWSG”

Production Time #IWSG
ISWG question of the month: Are there months or times of the year that you are more productive with your writing than other months, and why? Well, as long as we aren’t looking at 2020… But yes, and my year more or less follows when there’s NaNoWriMo (November) or Camp NaNoWriMo (April and July). ThoseContinue reading “Production Time #IWSG”
Time for NaNoWriMo #IWSG
I honestly thought this year I was going to take it easy with NaNo given how chaotic life has been. You know, just toy with other projects, not really going to push out anything brand new (I have enough backlogged in my head as it is). But no, two days before the start, an ideaContinue reading “Time for NaNoWriMo #IWSG”
What writing? #IWSG
Hate to say it, but I’ve gotten nothing done in the past month. And then I see on Facebook from NaNoWriMo about announcing your novel. It’s September, right? Wait, it’s September already? Time has little meaning these days as I struggle to adjust to new ways of doing things (which continues to change faster thanContinue reading “What writing? #IWSG”
Didn’t go as planned #IWSG
IWSG Question of the Month: Have you ever written a piece that became a form, or even a genre, you hadn’t planned on writing in? Or do you choose a form/genre in advance? Often enough I complain about how my characters won’t behave, but I have done the above. The first several (failed) attempts atContinue reading “Didn’t go as planned #IWSG”
A Stand Against Racism and Discrimination
I am against racism and discrimination. Why am I making this statement? Because I know in my writing I explore these uncomfortable truths that are so prevalent in our society. I wanted people to know that the person behind the words is against racism and discrimination. So, as Mortgaged Mortality launches, I felt it onlyContinue reading “A Stand Against Racism and Discrimination”
It’s a secret #IWSG
Before I get into this month’s question, I know a lot of people are wondering when the ebook for Mortgaged Mortality will be available for preorder. I promise I’m working on it. With the delays, I’m trying to slim down some of the things I do to regain some of that time which is holdingContinue reading “It’s a secret #IWSG”
What day is it? #IWSG
Needless to say, that’s kind of my world at this point. The only reason I know what’s going on when at all it seems is if my calendar tells me. And thank goodness for that. Despite the consistent schedule for my daughter’s class calls, I’d mix up which teacher she was talking to which day.Continue reading “What day is it? #IWSG”
Crazy world #IWSG
I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! Well, we all know that this is the time of year that I start getting nervous as the next book goes into its final stages for release. I took a huge gamble on this one and I hope it pays off. IWSG Question: The IWSG’s focus isContinue reading “Crazy world #IWSG”
Worth a thousand words #IWSG
After some confusion, mishaps, and much cursing, I’ve regained control… of my blog. I claim that on nothing else. I’ve been pretty quiet anyway over the past few months. Life’s been hectic to put it nicely. I’d like to think perhaps this month I can actually start getting started on some projects I’ve been puttingContinue reading “Worth a thousand words #IWSG”
