I NaNo and why you should too

Hello from a wet and rainy North Carolina!

I have a new blog post up today about why I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month and why you should too.

Plus I showcase two book sales (including my upcoming release on Oct 31st, Time and Blood.

And I hint about what I'm discussing in this weekend's Facebook live chat, Saturday Oct 28, at 11 a.m. EDT.

Stop by the blog and share your thoughts with me. I'm always ready to return the favor.

Keep reading,
Yours Between the Lines,
Sherry

How Do You Measure Success?

Good Monday Morning Readers and Authors,

Today's blog post is up and concerns how we measure success. I had wonderful news recently -- my new book was recognized as one of Amazon's Hot New Releases and also put on their best sellers list. Yes, the lists are updated every hour and I didn't stay there after a few hours but hey! I made the list.

I've been doing NaNo too and I'm over 12,000 words - ahead of schedule.

Both these things got me wondering how do we measure success?

My new pen is also up on Instagram, one I snagged from author Robbie Cox's swag pile. Has a highlighter on one end. Perfect for NaNo and marking what needs to be fixed later.

Drop by my blog or Author facebook page and say hi!

What pen are you using this week?

Yours Between the Lines,
Sherry

Good Monday morning!
New blog post is up: Rowing thru the NaNoWriMo Swamp.
You've probably hit the middle of your noveling with #nanowrimo2017 and now you're drifting, or worse, you're lost. I can help courtesy of the great Jim Butcher and the lesson I learned from him. Now I will share my secret with you. #MondayBlogs #amwriting #lessonslearned

I've also posted a new pen for #pinyourpen on Instagram. I do this every Monday with fun novelty pens and regular pens, just to enjoy something different for the week. Tune in to see what's up this week.

Hello and BRRR!

I can saw glorious Autumn arrived and I have the heat on. I'm beside myself with joy. This is the time of year when I get the most writing done, when I have my "spring fever" and want to clean out ever closet and drawer, and I look forward to homemade soups!

And writing. Today's blog post covers why you should not participate in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Well, sorta. Don't mind the sarcasm, ok?
