CreateSpace’s secret menu: Hardcover
A lot of indie authors tend to be disheartened when fans or family members ask for a hardcover of their book and they have to tell them this isn’t an option with their distributor–CreateSpace.
What if I was to tell you that while they don’t advertise this as an option, hardcover IS indeed an option. But it’s secret.
The known pricing for a hardcover book is as follows(may have changed since last checked, but it’s close):
* $99.00 – One-Time Setup Fee
* $6.50 – Cost per book (regardless of the page count)
* $0.015 – B&W per page cost
* $0.15 – Color per page cost
* $2.00 – Dust Jacket (optional)
Which, for an average novel, comes out to around $115.00 to get the FIRST copy of the CreateSpace hardcover of your novel. Then after that, each book is around $12-16 a piece for printing.
Now, there are some things to consider when you think about the CreateSpace book:
* The hardcover is set up as a separate title in you account, and this means it needs a different ISBN
* Once submitted the conversion takes a long, long time to get done (10+/- days)
* If there is ANY color in the novel the whole book (not only color pages) are subject to the color cost charge (ouch!)
* And while you do have a new ISBN, the book will not be eligible for any of Createspace’s distribution channels
* Which means, only YOU can order and sell.
In the long run, your book will end up being about the same price per copy as any other competing Print on Demand hardcover options. Which is great! However, the real kicker is that you, the author, are responsible for selling it. It can not go into the normal distribution channels. Bummer.
But, if you just want a hardcover for posterity reasons, or to give away as prizes or gifts, then yowza–this option looks awesome!
If you are interested in this secret option for the hardcover, you have to contact CreateSpace directly and talk to one of their publishing associates. They will help you get the ball rolling and get your title into hardcover.

Coffee Talk
It’s Saturday and I am sitting here with my cup of coffee in one hand, mouse in the other… trying to decide what I’m going to post about today… when out of nowhere coffee comes to mind. Never mind that its always on my mind… let’s just go with it.
A few years ago, I made the switch from espresso/coffee pot to the world famous Keurig. If you haven’t seen a demo yet check out my friend Ally’s review(at the bottom)… she is the reason I bought it. However, I will tell you I got the quieter version… didn’t want to wake the whole house.
What is nice about this product… I can drink a HOT, FRESH cup of coffee in 3o seconds with absolutely no mess. The K-Cup goes in…. and comes out, no messing with filters. My cup collects the liquid gold. There’s no pouring from a glass pot with a spout that can never handle the pour speed (if I haven’t perfected that one in twenty years, I will forever spill), just a perfect cup of coffee. Ahhhh!
And now that the Kuerig’s are so popular, there’s a million and a half companies making their own brand of k-cups, which is awesome! Because there are so many choices. I use a brand-cup whose packaging is 97% Bio-degradable! So much less waste and so nice. (San Francisco Bay Coffee
)
I now go to the bucks-taker much less now that I can have hot coffee in seconds. While it seems like it costs a pretty penny per cup (.20-.40/cup), if you do the math, you would have to have much more coffee before equaling just ONE bucks-taker cup.
Oh and for those of you who have a Keurig, I’ve got a coupon website for you! http://www.therawfeed.com/stores/keurig-com I haven’t personally used it, but it looks great.
Ahem, so now that I have done my part and enlightened you on the Keurig… and given you some coupons to boot… I have a coffee question for you…
How do you take it? Hot, Cold, Latte, Mocha, Skinny, Fat, Sugar Free…? You know, what do you tell the barista at your coffee shop when you happen upon them? Are you a froo-froo coffee drinker (like me) or do you just like it tall and unadulterated?
AND when do you drink it?
I drink Lattes… and I drink mine from the moment I open my eyes… until I wake up. Which sometimes isn’t until 4:00pm.
Spill the beans…

March Update
It’s March… yeah, about that.
I might’ve posted about the speed of time once… or twice… and maybe more, I stopped looking. But that is completely besides the point. I’m not going to tell you how unimpressed I am that time is not waiting for me. Nor will I tell you how displeased I am that Day Light Savings is about to start. Instead, I will just give you a general MARCH update.
Writing:
Plugging right along with Pieces of Me 2. It has a tentative name, which I’ve shared with a couple folks, but I’m not going to announce it until it’s officially the title. The first round alphas got back to me with some great suggestions and changes, all of which I’d suspected, so the news wasn’t a shock. I basically had to rewrite and structure most of book two because of THIS, THIS, and THAT. Things you can’t know until is comes out. But, I’m fully confident this is a stronger story and our characters will thrive under these circumstances!
I’m nearing the end (again) and hopefully it will go to alpha round two and beta round one by the end of April. I’m hoping to have a tentative release date by June. Maybe July? We will see.
The plans for the next novel remain the same: Revisit the novel formerly known as, THE RINGS OF TIME. I’m actually pretty excited about this trilogy. It’s my baby.
Homeschooling:
Usually in March, I’m about ready to be DONE with homeschooling. I’m burnt out, I’m debating my next years action, I’m melting down, really. However, this year things have gone much differently then any other year. I’m feeling rather great about our year! I feel like we could go on and do this for another six months (not that I would do that to myself or my kids— we love summer).
So what’s different this year? Why did I not hit the freak out/burn out mode? I actually had to sit and think about it a while. Because I really didn’t realize what had changed. Then it dawned on me… for the first time since 2007, this homeschooling family did not move houses or states! We’ve had complete stability in every manner or our lives and oh my goodness, what a difference this makes. I’m not harping on military life or post military life, but geeeeeez, not moving in the middle (or at the beginning, or the end) of a school year has made all the difference. It also helps that we have a great group of homeschoolers in the area whom we are very involved with and an excellent support system for all things learning.
It has just been a really excellent year.
Teaching:
Some of you know I’ve been teaching this year at my homeschool coop. This has been a phenomenal experience for both me and the students I’m teaching. We’ve done Short Stories and Creative Writing and it’s really helping to hammer out my curriculum for this summer’s Summer Courses. I’m actually going to be teaching some summer courses around the country called “The 5 Elements of Short Story Writing” in 2014. Want to find out if I’m coming to a city near you? Email me and ask! I’d be happy to let you know.
Depending on the location, the course will be a one day writing intensive on the 5 Elements or it will be stretched over 3 days. The course was designed for 6-8th graders and 9-12th graders (separately). It’s going to be amazing fun and I hope you’ll join me in a city near you!
Don’t forget, Daylight Savings Time starts Sunday March 9, 2014 at 2:00am

5 Love Languages of a Writer
- Quality Time
- Acts of Service
- Physical Touch
- Gifts
- Words of Affirmation
(If you want to find out what love language you speak, go take the test at : http://www.5lovelanguages.com/ I recommend all newlyweds and newly engaged folks to read this ASAP! And if you have been married for a century or four and have never heard of this idea, I recommend it to you too! May revolutionize your life and marriage.)
When you know your love language (and the others), it becomes easier to recognize these love languages in others. It’s kinda fun to see them come LIVE in your house and life.
So how does this relate to writing? Are there truly 5 Love Languages of a Writer. Yes. I believe there are and I’d love to tell you about them. They may not be exactly the same for every writer, but I’d venture to say it’s rather close:
The first Love Language of a Writer is: Coffee
Now before you coffee haters chime in, this love language really counts for ANY drink you NEED while you write. For some, like LK Gardner-Griffie , it’s tea. For some, like Denise Grover Swank it’s wine. For Veronica Roland it’s hot cocoa. Soda, okay. Smoothies, yes those too. And still for others it’s something entirely different.
The idea behind this love language is that you need to be hydrated… and awake… and able to carry on a conversation. If we’ve been up all night thinking, dreaming, building our world, this is a vital love language. If you bring a writer her favorite cup of anything, I guarantee you will be speaking abounding love into their life and manuscript. Mostly because they didn’t have to get up out of their chair and interrupt their world building to get their caffeine fix. Just please, when your writer-friend is writing, know that a quick, “Hello, here is your drink, buh-bye!” is ideal. Not that we don’t like spending quality time with you, but seriously, you can’t make a fictional character wait too long or he/she will go on vacation without you. #truestory
The second Love Language of a Writer is: Time
I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Time waits for no man.” Right? Well, as true as this statement is, I think our non writer-friends need to understand that time waits for no fictional character, as well. In fact, the fictional characters in our novels seldom wait for anyone or anything before they gallivant the country. And if we don’t follow them around (our heads) the moment they decide to go off to the wild blue yonder, we may lose them and not ever know the adventure they experienced. I know, if you aren’t a writer you are probably thinking, “what the, what?” But for us writers, this makes complete sense.
Let’s see if I can explain. When a writer has an idea for a story or scene, it’s sometimes vital that we take time to write it down in that moment. Or at least very soon. Because if we don’t, we might have another idea later, that will fog up the last idea. Then another idea will come and the glass is fogged some more. Then another. And another, until we can’t clearly remember what the idea/thought was.
A great gift to a writer is time. If you know this is their writing time, the greatest gift to them would be to give them time to get their thoughts out. Give them time to go exploring with their characters. Give them time to NOT get frustrated by the thousand comments you have about the tea in Mongolia. If they have their writers hat on, this is a fabulous gift.
Now don’t mistake this time gift as a “Don’t ever bother a writer!” Because that isn’t what I’m saying. What I am saying is that TIME is a gift to us. And if you give us time (once a day, once a week, once a month) you are showing us abundant love. It means you believe in us and know our time is being well spent.
The third Love Language of a Writer is: Food
I know, I know this seems silly. But, when a writer is in the zone (especially if said writer is a mom), food can be the door to their heart. When I’m working on a deadline, sometimes I forget to eat. At all. I never forget coffee, but there have been days in which I’ve totally forgotten any food. Luckily my children are all old enough to feed themselves, so they never go without, but this writer will often just write right through the meal. So if a friend were to stop by with a meal for me (or even just throw a french fry through the door at my desk) I would know that was an act of love. Food fuels the brain (but not as much as coffee, right??) and bringing aromatic treats that feed the tummy, soul, and heart is amazing.
I feel like it would be silly for me even to mention that chocolate falls into this category. You’ve heard the research, right? Chocolate is full of GOOD things for your brain, body, and health (in moderation). So it should be a no brainer that included in this food love language is the Random Acts of Chocolate. And if you don’t like chocolate, then I’m sure those around you think you’re nuts… BUT they probably DO know what you want. Like my friend Branli Caidryn. He prefers Skittles. So to make him feed loved while he is writing his novels, yup… bring the boy some Skittles.
Food is a powerful love language and when used wisely with your writer, it can be amazing!
The fourth Love Language of a Writer is: Words
Seems a bit obvious, right? Well, the words I’m referring to are words of encouragement.
Encouragement is one of those love languages of a writer then I believe sits at the top for each of us. Writing is a hard industry. We pour our hearts and souls into these stories and then throw them out there for the world to critique. Some writers refuse to read reviews, the good or the bad, because they’ve come to realize that they can’t please 100% of the people 100% of the time. There will always be people who DON’T like your writing. And there will always be people who LOVE it.
When my writer-friends get a bad review and are feeling mortified, I am quick to remind them of the thousands and thousands of horrible reviews that authors like J.K. Rowling, Stephen King, Suzanne Collins, Veronica Roth, John Grisham, and others receive EVERY day. Yet, they are considered some of the best authors of our time. But not everyone likes their stories. And that is okay.
So if you have a writer in your life (even if you are a writer), make it a point to encourage them often. Your few words will mean much more than you can ever imagine! They will feel the love and they will be empowered to create something because of you and others like you.
The fifth Love Language of a Writer is: Listening Heart
Sometimes this is the most overlooked love language of a writer. What does it mean to have a listening heart? Well, often us writers just need to regurgitate everything in our minds. I know, sounds lovely right? Well, it is lovely, to us. We we spew everything on our minds, and in our current WIPs (Works in Progress), it helps us think through plot holes and problems. And usually, though we are just spewing to “hear ourselves talk it out”, we do need feedback! Your feedback is so valuable to us! If we are opening up our souls to you about our ideas and you have truly listened with your heart, we would love to hear what you have to say. We value what you have to say. We thrive on what you say. We may not agree with everything you say, but your input is why we came to you in the first place.
Being a good listener to a writer is worth it’s weight in gold. We are confiding with you our precious characters because we feel like you have something to offer.Another depth to the listening heart is to actively engage your writer-friends in a topic surrounding their novels. Especially if you know they’ve been struggling with writers block lately. Ask them how things are going. Ask them what they think their block might stem from… then, truly listen when they tell you. Sometimes we aren’t at a place to know what is the problem, but just knowing you are asking with a listening heart will mean the world to us. And it may spark some conversation that leads to encouragement, that leads to coffee, that leads to food, that leads to time and a finished novel!It’s amazing what a listening heart will do for your writer-friend.
So let’s recap:
Coffee
Time
Food
Words
Listening Heart
Do you know a writer who could benefit from you speaking their love language? I challenge you, this week, to step out of your comfort zone and make a difference in one of your writer-friends lives. Speak one of their love languages and help them feel the love.

The Teachable Spirit and the Writer
As a mom and homeschool teacher, I’m always on the word “teachable spirit” with my kids. When they are being obstinate or rude or just not listening, I have found myself saying, “Where is your teachable spirit?”
So what does it mean to have a teachable spirit and how does it relate to writing?
Oh boy, you ready for this can of worms?
Summed up in one word: Humility.
Having a teachable spirit means:
You’re fully aware of your limitations and abilities.
You can and DO regularly ask for help and advice (before, not after your mess it up).
You listen and glean from anyone and everyone you can.
You move out of your comfort zone and often!
You don’t give up but get up and try again (of course, then you go to point two– *wink*).
You’re willing to change your views and practices when convincing evidence is presented to you, even if it means admitting you were wrong.
How does this teachable spirit translate into your life as a writer? Can you guess?
As all writers know, we have these awesome, amazing, and completely talented friends and colleagues called critique partners. They pour as much heart and soul into your novels as you do in writing them. They give you all their thoughts and all their dreams for your novel. They also tear it to shreds. As is their job.
If you’ve never had a full critique from another author on a new project you’re working on, you’ve never truly died… I mean, lived. First time I got a critique back, I nearly threw in the towel. I mean really. I had no idea what I had received and quite frankly it was a tough pill to swallow. This friend, or at least I thought she was my friend, handed me back my manuscript with so many questions, comments, and wrongs. Seriously, my heart was broken and frankly, I didn’t know how I was going to get over it.
This right here is an unteachable spirit. One that I am sooo glad has passed. Because the thing I’d missed in all the red pen marks was all the positive things that should have encouraged me. All the issues that had set me asunder, were actually fixable and would make the story even stronger. Sure not all the comments I agreed with, but for the most part they were good! And once I was able to look at them again with a teachable spirit it was a complete 180. Instead of feeling like I’d been personally attacked, I felt inspired and empowered!
Having a teachable spirit when you are an author is 100% the most important trait you can ever adopt. Your partners are NOT out to get you. They want to see you succeed and make your manuscript the best that it can be. They want you to reach your full potential, they know is there, and bring your characters to a height even YOU might not have known was ever there! Having a teachable spirit translates into your novel in so many dividends. In ways far greater than monetary ones.
Do you have a teachable spirit? Do you struggle with critiques when they come back? May I challenge you to wrap your head around this idea of a teachable spirit and not take their words as wounds but as food for the soul? It will change your life.
I’d like to take this moment to thank my past and present critique partners for never giving up on me and pushing me to do my best. Jill Cooper, Carla Laureano, Denise Grover Swank, Trisha Leigh, Deven Avila, Katherine Goodman, Vicki Severson, Linda Baggus, Judy Rose, Sterling Smith, and Katherine.

Go! (A Kindle Single)
So I have a “Kindle Single” roaming around my head this week.
What is a Kindle Single? Kindle singles are essays or short stories, not full length books.
Actually, this idea has been roaming around my head for years but I knew it would never be long enough for a full length book. But now with this Kindle Single idea… this might work.
I’m hoping to dive into it after Pieces of Me 2 is complete.
The title is Go! and it will be a non-fiction inspirational single about Missions Training Schools (Like YWAM) and what they can do for you or your college bound teen.
Stay tuned for more details.

Harnessing your Inspiration in 2014
As 2014 begins, many authors are organizing their writing tasks and making goals. Some hope to score the big book deal and maybe a movie deal. Some hope to get a few independently published works released. Some hope to push through the epic edits of 2013′s writings. And still others just hope to make it to the end of any of their works to have the chance at entertaining the thoughts of any of the previous.
My goal in 2013 was to publish two books. Instead, I published three. In March, it was the young adult sci-thriller novel, Pieces of Me. In June, it was the inspirational fiction (based on true events), The Unseen Chronicles. Finally in July, I released my lower middle grade children’s novel (book three in the Dragons Forever series), Dragons of the Deep.
Sitting on the other side of a productive year, I’m looking back on all the people and events that inspired me to push towards my goals and obtain my plans. There were moments when I had zero inspiration to create and I struggled with germinating that mustard seed of inspiration. When I found myself at a loss for words, I used these five statements to harness my inspiration on the road to creativity.
1.) Write for Five
We’re all busy people, some more than others, but if you tell yourself to Write for Five, you will coax your mustard seed to sprout. Seriously. Your five minutes will turn into ten. Then into thirty. Then you will be ordering take-out because you forgot about dinner. Start small, and do it every day. In the car. In the school pick-up line. In the dentist office waiting on your appointment. In the DMV. On your lunch break. On the train.
Commit yourself to just five minutes a day on your creative work. Write with an app on your smart phone, your tablet, a piece of paper, anything! Hold to this time, and it will do wonders for your inspiration.
2.) Write Crap.
“Wait a minute, Eisley. No. Just no. No one should write crap.”
Ahhhh, but here is where a lot of writers get completely hung up. If you give yourself permission to write crap, you are still writing. Crap can be edited; blank pages cannot. If you can push through the crap, inspiration will follow.
In almost all of my current works, a moment occurred in the original manuscript where I hit writers road block. You know, where you stare at the computer screen or blank sheet of paper, and you just don’t know what to write? This statement eliminates such a block because I’m allowing myself to write crap.
For example, in PIECES OF ME, I was totally coming up with a blank while writing a car chase. I sat there for a few minutes, drool starting down my chin, wondering how on earth this scene was going to play out. Then I remembered, CRAP!
Perfect.
Instead of writing that scene, I worte:[EPIC CAR CHASE HERE-- EDIT], then I moved on. In doing this, that particular scene was now out of my head, and I could move through the countryside to keep with the pace of my heart and the action. Weeks later, when I was stealing my five minutes, I decided to write the car chase, and it was awesome. I had the perfect inspiration (as I’d just watched a thrilling action flick) and knew I could do this scene justice. And I did, all because I gave myself permission to write crap.
3.) Like Minds, Like Goals.
Surround yourself with positive, like-minded, creative people, people who are pressing forward with their plans and goals and positively promising that their 2014 will be epic. On days that you feel down in the dirt and struggle to even write your five minutes, go to your like-minded friend and tell them. If they have like goals, they will undoubtedly become the positive inspiration you need to get your rear in gear and put your words down on paper. They may even remind you to write crap or at least remind you that you’ve been given permission.
If you struggle at finding like minds, I suggest you join a local writers group and get an accountability partner for your writing. Use websites like Meet-Up, or search online for writers groups in your area, or join an association of writers. Google “Writers Associations” and check out one in your area. Connecting with real people with like minds is a phenomenal tool!
4.) Write it Down
Some authors struggle with too much inspiration. Their minds are going in several hundred directions all at once, and they can’t seem to focus on just one. Often, I’ve had inspiration hit for a new story smack dab in the middle of another creative project. Instead of dwelling on this idea, I simply write it down and file it in a folder on my computer, tablet, or smartphone (all synched with Dropbox). Then the idea is free to roam about the country (not around my head) until I’m ready to deal with it. This idea seems so simple, but it’s so profound because when I actually write it down, it really does free up my mind to stay in this creative universe and not wander.
If I’m in the middle of working and have an inspiration for my current work, I affix sticky notes to my desk. That way my mind can efficiently focus on the job that pays the bills, and I’m in no worry that I’ll forget whatever it was I had the idea for. Once my work is complete, I have these wonderfully colorful reminders of the things I need to incorporate in my WIP.
If you don’t work from home like I do, this might be a little off-putting to your co-workers if you write crime-fiction. I suggest you use a notebook you can close and hide away at a moment’s notice.
5.) Stop. Drop. And Read.
When you struggle with a scene or character in your creative work for more than twenty-four hours, might I suggest that you stop writing and start reading? Find a book in your creative genre and read it. Then read another. Read often.
When you read others’ inspired works, you too will be inspired. You aren’t reading to gain insights on for your own work or lift ideas from their pages into yours. You are simply allowing your mind a brief rest before diving back into your own world. Often, others’ works can inspire ideas totally unrelated to their novel, but because you’ve allowed your mind a small break, it all becomes clear, and you’re able to fully flesh out the idea you’d been stuck on.
If you challenge yourself to use these five inspirational statements, it will be almost impossible for you to hit the proverbial writer’s block. Instead, you’ll write around it and harness your inspiration on the road to creativity. Try it for a month. Write down these five simple statements, affix them to somewhere in your workspace, and allow yourself to harness your inspiration in 2014. I venture to say your readers will thank you.

Devotional and Monologues
This season I was approached by both the Music Minister and Senior Pastor at our church (SunHills.org) to write a set of monologues (The Magi, Herod, and Joseph) and a small devotional.
The Devotional:
The devotional was designed to compliment the new series titled: GOD WITH US. It began on the first day of advent (December 1, 2013) and will run all five weeks. The congregation has been encouraged to take time out each week and read through the devotional. There are questions for reflection, verses, and an inspirational song to help guide you through understanding what God would have you receive from this short devotional.
As promised, I’m sharing this devotional.
Having trouble viewing this file? Click Here.
The Monologues:
I’m hoping to have the monologues in recorded form, sometime this week. We might have even captured The Magi on video, but I’m not positive yet. As soon as I have more details, I will update this section.

Writing Update
A lot of folks have been asking me recently how the Pieces of Me 2 is coming along. I’d love to tell you it’s finished, but it’s not. So much has been happening in my world this month: including writing the monologues for our Advent services and the devotional for the same weeks, an out patient OR procedure, doctors appointments to boot, extremely low hemoglobin, and coupled with being sick (Whoever handed me that bug, you should just take it back).
While I am on the road to recovery from everything listed above… I’ve had little time to write. I have written, just it’s not finished. I know with NaNoWriMo being here this month it’s quite unheard of, but some things just have to give.
The good news is, the first draft should be complete and in the hands of the editor January 2014. And before winter ends, I should have a release date.
Yay!
If you haven’t read the first Pieces of Me, here are the details:
Forget everything you know. Forget your name. Forget any memory of your parents. Forget your own face in the mirror. Then, and only then, can you understand my world.
My name is Braidan, and I’m seventeen years old. I wake every day with no memory of what happened yesterday. No recollection of who I am. Only a series of sticky notes hint at the life I supposedly lead. But no matter how hard I try, I can’t dismiss the thought that this isn’t my life or my true identity. Notes plastered all over my room and school books tell me to search for answers. But how can I learn the truth when I’ll forget everything the moment my mind drifts to sleep?
Ian, the new boy at school, claims he has the key to my walking coma. If what he says is true, I’m far more than just a girl with amnesia… and I’ve got precious little time to unlock my past.
Pieces of Me depend on it.

Devotionals
I’m excited to announce my five day devotional will be used in our church services this advent! They aren’t necessarily for advent or even about advent, but they are tailored to hit upon subjects similar to the subjects the pastor is preaching about the same week.
My topics are:
Week 1: The Call to Worship
Week 2: Attitude of Independence/Surrender All
Week 3: The Unlikely Hero
Week 4: Stir our Hearts
Week 5: Compassion of a Savior
And because it’s not a published work, I think I will share it with you all at the same time the church gets it. How fun!
