I’m going to change the order of things in these posts and be a little more random from now on, since the yearly wordcount is no longer the Most Important Thing in the world. I know I’m prolific and can meet my goal, so I will update you, but not necessarily as the first thing […]

Words of wisdom, writers on writing, whatever you want to call it a monthly feature of this blog! 🙂 Here go the writers’ quotes! I don’t believe in a zero-sum game for books. I believe EVERYONE should write a book, because every person who writes a book will buy and read far more books than […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup
Last week I wrote only 8K, but most of the weekend was spent editing after getting the manuscripts back from the editor. I’m kind of in-between projects as well, wrapping up a story and not sure if I want to continue what I had interrupted or start something else. And I backed another sci-fi Kickstarter! […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup
Last week I wrote over 12K and almost finished another story. This week I’m taking a break to edit FEC 11 and 12 for a January publication as well as editing the 2 prequels that will go to the editor in January, so I might not write much. I also uploaded the updated PDF of […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup
Last week I wrote 8700words and completed another short story for submission, then I’ll probably call it a year! There are a couple more with themes that intrigue me, but there is no hurry to write and send them out. To reach 600K, I should write 38K in the coming 3 weeks, which might happen, […]

And it’s the last words of wisdom or writers on writing of the year! Next “episode” in 2021, hoping these wise words don’t become obsolete by the time I publish them… Have a great Sunday!
