I know I usually do more than answer the question of the month, but I’m afraid I’m not much in the frame of mind to do so. There’s just been a lot going on. And now for this month’s question: In terms of your writing career, where do you see yourself five years from now, andContinue reading “Where will I go? #IWSG”

Is it ready yet? #IWSG
This month’s question is: When do you know your story is ready? Um… I don’t? Looking back at Twisted Magics, I’m sure I could have spent more time on it. I could have driven myself even more mad and kept working on it. But then I’d never move on. The truth is I had someoneContinue reading “Is it ready yet? #IWSG”
Time? #IWSG
This month’s IWSG question is: how do you find the time to write in your busy day? I stopped and went “what time?” as I’ve been mostly ignoring it for the past couple of weeks. And as much as my schedule increased in terms of how busy it got this year with the little one startingContinue reading “Time? #IWSG”
Burnout? #IWSG
I did some pretty heavy revisions to Shattered Illusions (Terra Chronicles book #2) during Camp NaNoWriMo last month. Managed to pour a lot of energy into it and called the revisions good fairly early so I could have it printed to work on while out camping. And then never touched it. I still haven’t. AboutContinue reading “Burnout? #IWSG”
Pick up the pace #IWSG
I ran into some serious issues early on with book 2. Got them sorted out a few months ago and now it’s down to editing (and maybe add an epilogue). I’m just not sure how fast I can turn around this book given how long Twisted Magics took to come to completion. Yeah, I know,Continue reading “Pick up the pace #IWSG”
It’s becoming real #IWSG
As I attempt to wrap up the first draft of book 2, Twisted Magics will be coming out later this month. To say I’m nervous would be an understatement. I’ve ranged from wondering if anyone will enjoy it (which is stupid because my critique groups and beta readers have) to questioning myself if I canContinue reading “It’s becoming real #IWSG”
Chain reaction #IWSG
The first chain reaction was glancing at my feed this morning and realizing that while I had planned a post for tomorrow, I totally forgot about #IWSG. The one I actually want to talk about is a short story (well part of one since I can’t seem to stay short) that I have up forContinue reading “Chain reaction #IWSG”
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”
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”
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”
