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”

Coming soon is coming soon
Ugh! I am not a patient person (actually, I am…most of the time). I’ve been twiddling my thumbs, waiting for paperwork to come in the mail so I can move forward and can start setting up for a cover reveal and whatnot. Okay, I’ve been working on some side projects and staring at my secondContinue reading “Coming soon is coming soon”
Going against the norm
As I quickly wrap up the last edits for Twisted Magics, I keep thinking about something that one of the members of my little critique group brought up about ditching my final chapter. His point was because my story has turned into this “hero quest” and those usually end shortly after the final battle. AndContinue reading “Going against the norm”
Let It Go
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”
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”
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”
The calm before the storm
As the last hours tick away, I look forward to November with both excitement and trepidation. And a glass of not so great wine. NaNoWriMo is a mixed bag of emotions for me. After finishing my first year, I had a five year span without completing a project. I had tried different projects, attempted theContinue reading “The calm before the storm”
