Yes, I likely just got that song stuck in your head. You’re welcome. Joking aside, I met with a fantastic critique group last night. Things may get a bit heated, maybe get stuck on something, but the important part to me was that there was no malice behind it. Something another group I’ve been draggingContinue reading “Let It Go”

Marketing #IWSG
As I work on the last round of edits, I of course look toward the future and what I need to deal with once it is done. Marketing is of course the big one. How do I launch? Should I set up signings? How do I set up signings? Do I need any particular materialsContinue reading “Marketing #IWSG”
To never grow
Recently, I worked on a couple of critiques for a group outside of my normal one. Marked up both quite a bit. Tried to pour everything I’ve learned into helping these writers. And got blown off. Granted, it was only one of the two, but when I’m saying the same things as the other sevenContinue reading “To never grow”
Unrealistic Deadline?
So I’ve been in just about an all out panic at my husband’s deadline for launching the first book. I don’t think I can get everything done in time. I’m still editing. Right now I’m working with what my beta readers have said. Then I plan another pass through before printing it out one moreContinue reading “Unrealistic Deadline?”
Self-publishing for dummies? #IWSG
I should spend more time at the library searching this stuff up. It is far too easy to get lost in the clicking of links – hoping and praying for a direct answer. It isn’t for a lack of online resources, however…except to the questions I currently have. After deciding to shut down my otherContinue reading “Self-publishing for dummies? #IWSG”
We’re through
My posts have been sparse lately. This month was I lost my only client for my business and decided that as soon as I had everything wrapped up, I would go and change it over to get ready for publishing. Except the end hasn’t been the end. He’s still asking me to do things, whichContinue reading “We’re through”
A little too different #IWSG
So I’ve been working on editing the second book in my series and I’m starting to become concerned that it is perhaps too different than the first book. I’m digging into the darkest secrets of my main character. Forcing them to the surface for both her and those close to her to have to dealContinue reading “A little too different #IWSG”
What a mess… #IWSG
Now that NaNoWriMo is over. Validated my 50K on the 20th of last month and ended the month with 55K, I have a mess to clean up. I’ve been struggling with this story. It hasn’t unfolded for me like the first book did. I’ve kept changing my mind on things, written short side stories toContinue reading “What a mess… #IWSG”
Uphill battle
This more or less is how I’ve felt so far trying to work on this project for NaNoWriMo: First, I kept skipping to the next scene, just trying to keep moving. Then I realize a little more than 11K words in that I had found the start to my novel, but I was still strugglingContinue reading “Uphill battle”
What to do… What to do… #IWSG
While predominantly I have NaNoWriMo on the brain, there has been something, perhaps silly, that has been bothering me as Twisted Magics creeps ever closer to publication: How do you decide on cover art? I’m no artist and I’ve taken some basic graphic design classes, but I’m by nowhere near confident enough to produce myContinue reading “What to do… What to do… #IWSG”
