Guest Post: Girl on Her Own Horse by Ines Johnson
Have you been paying attention to the evolution of the Cinderella story? If you’ve watched the Disney blockbuster, Frozen, then you have. Young girls and women are no longer waiting around for a man to come by on his horse, sweep them off their feet, and give them shoes. Okay, I doubt any of us would turn down the shoes! My point is that women are now taking the reins of their own stories and […]

February. Get ink. Shed tears.
Or another translation of this post’s title: February, pick up your pen and weep, Write poems about February in sobs and ink, While thunder booming in the background Is burning in the black of spring. -Boris Pasternak Regina Spektor’s song “Après Moi” introduced that poem to me (in its original Russian) and it is all things beautiful and lovely. Check out other translations of the full poem here and here. This Month in Writing February underscored […]

Monthly Recap – January 2015
This year I started a logbook. I got the idea from Austin Kleon, who lays it out really well here. Every night before bed I sit with my chamomile tea and jot down the events of the day, how I felt, and what I’m grateful for. It adds a routine to bedtime that helps improve my sleep hygeine and stave off insomnia. Besides, I have long wished for a personal stenographer to capture the details of my daily […]

Anatomy of a Release Day
Today is book launch day for my first release, Song of Blood & Stone. It’s been on preorder for several weeks, but there’s nothing like getting it out into the world for real! Last Week I’d thought everything was ready — I had uploaded the ebook to Amazon two days before the deadline (a full 12 days before release day!). I’d carefully tested the file on my Kindle, the Kindle Previewer, my iPad, iPhone and the desktop […]

Resolution Revolution – Goodbye 2014!
Remember this from SNL last year? So true. And so another year has ended and like most people I’m taking stock of my achievements and making plans for the new year. 2014 was good to me – and while my debut novel doesn’t technically arrive on shelves for another 13 days, I did complete it in 2014 which was a huge accomplishment for me. I’ve just uploaded the final ebook file of Song of Blood […]
