Extra Tips I Learned When Reformatting Two of My eBooks #TipsTuesdays 9
So I have been re-formatting a couple of my books over the last week because I am changing the cover and took the opportunity to give them another going over. You never know if there might be something you can improve after all :). I've also imported them all into yWriter so I now have a single point master text.
While doing this there were a couple of things I discovered that are not in my post Checklist for Creating the eBook from Your Beautifully Edited Novel so I decided to make a pos...

Harry Potter - The Top 5 Reasons I Love It - #FanFridays 7
It's geek out day again :) For Fan Fridays 7 I have decided to talk about one of my minor obsessions: Harry Potter and why I love it.
Harry Potter - The Top 5 Reasons I Love It
So I never really expected to get into Harry Potter, but it was one of those fandoms that dragged me in and it was the fanfic that did it. I'm pretty sure I don't have to tell anyone what Harry Potter is since it's one of the most successful franchises in the world. I fell into it back in 2001.
The books are a great read

The Rugby World Cup - A Non-Fan's Perspective - #ThinkyThursdays 6
Welcome to another Thinky Thursday, which is basically my excuse to talk about anything that pops into my head. Since I really enjoyed the rugby match I watched on telly last night, that is my topic of choice.
The Rugby World Cup - A Non-Fan's Perspective
So I don't normally watch Rugby - I'm not really into watching team sports where men or women run around chasing a ball - I prefer watching things like gymnastics and snow boarding. However, I make an exception when it comes to the rugby World...

Don't Be Afraid to Correct Your Mistakes - #WriterlyWednesdays 11
Welcome to Wrtery Writely Writerly Wednesdays 11. Today I want to delve into the often embarrassing world of mistakes.
Don't Be Afraid to Correct Your Mistakes
We all hate making mistakes, but for the Indie Author, they are all but inevitable, especially when we're just starting out in this business. Authors going through the traditional publishing route have teams of people behind them: editors, artists, back cover writers, marketing experts. Self-pub indie authors have themselves and anyone t...

10 Reasons Fanfiction is Amazing - #WriterlyWednesdays 10
I am a huge fan of fanfiction and for Writerly Wednesdays 10 I have decided to tell you all why. The media would have you believe fanfiction is all about sexy stories and nothing else - they could not be more wrong. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my reasoning. Some of my reasons are superficial, some, not so much.
