Where did the time go? It feels like I blink and a month is gone. Granted, life has been chaotic for the past… I lost track. Recently I’ve been delving back into my side stories for Terra. Particularly a section that could go into book 6 (which is out with one of my beta readersContinue reading “Whatcha reading? #IWSG”

Throwing in the Towel #IWSG
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”
Recent Events
Here you’ve heard me talk quite a bit about Indie Author Day and those who follow me on Facebook have gotten to hear me go on about Boise Book Fest. With the two events running back-to-back weekends, it was hard not to be super excited about both. I didn’t get the chance to escape my table for IndieContinue reading “Recent Events”

This included my desire to try and get work done on the second book during Camp NaNoWriMo in April. I decided everything would be done by the end of April so I could enjoy May asContinue reading “Stick to the plan”
Pricing
So part in parcel, pricing is obviously on my list of things I need to consider as I trek the path of self-publishing. Recently I received an email about one of my favorite authors who is coming out with a new book soon. It was a sure-fire sale because I’ve bought all of the otherContinue reading “Pricing”
Proofreading?
I just finished reading two completely different articles from two vastly different websites. One of those, I can go from reading an article about a video game to something more politically based without batting an eye. Both had spelling and grammatical errors in them. What happened to proofreading or at least an editor reading overContinue reading “Proofreading?”
