It’s that time of year #ROW80

It’s that time of year when things all get smashed together in a short period of time. Happy things and sad things. Death and dying are oh so prominent throughout the holiday season. I just got off the phone with the funeral director of the funeral home in this tiny little town (he runs about […]

Open when you miss my kisses���

Open when you miss my kisses��� I wish this wasn���t in electronic form because I���d go get some bright red lipstick and make a kiss on the paper for you. If you miss my kisses, come get one. You know I���m never shy about these things. A kiss shows so much of the love we […]

So little to choose from … #ROW80 and #WIPeptWednesday

I haven’t been doing much writing lately. I think it’s because of my mood and because I’m not quite sure what I want to work on. I’ve been struggling to schedule my time better these past few weeks, and I fear I’ve been doing a crappy job at it. I should be done with copy-edits […]

Counting down the days #ROW80

Well, I’m certainly counting down the days! To so many things. I’ve received kind of a scheduling of releases for 2015, and I have to say, I’m going to be one busy chicklet. But I’m crazy excited about it, too. Every year I have a goal of publishing 2-3 novels, and I’m certainly hitting that […]

The New Year, goals for 2015 and reflections on 2014

Since we���re close to the end of the year, I���ve been thinking a lot about my goals for this year and my goals for next year. I always have the goal to simply read more books than I read the previous year (for pleasure only) and I certainly accomplished that. This year I started a […]

The Third Level of Editing Hell and finally writing! #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday

ROW80! I’m making much more progress than I thought I would, which is really good. 1. Write 1667 words a day. I’m still writing on this co-written thing, and we’re over 30k words now. Definitely between the two of us, adding about 2k words a day to it. I know I wrote 2k of that […]

The game of life #ROW80 update

Ahhh. It’s Sunday morning, and I’m finally doing my Sunday ROW80 update post, for the first time in two weeks! Life got in the way, but that’s the game of it I think. I’m getting back on track slowly, but it’s still all a work in progress. Which, I do believe, is yet another point […]

You want me to pay for what? A writer’s rant on marketing… #amwriting #writestuff #marketing

There are some things going on in the book promotion world that I���m unsure of. It���s hard to promote a book or an author anyway, but it���s even harder to tell if said promotion is working. There are so many ways to go about doing promotion, from shoving it down someone���s throat, sending private messages, […]
