#SATurday Confessions of a Slow Writer

I’m a slow writer. There. I said it. I’m a slow writer. (Just for extra measure.) You see, I used to think I was a fast writer. “I can write a manuscript in four months,” “I wrote that novella in a few days,” “That short story took me an hour.” Okay. So, I’ve never actually… Continue reading #SATurday Confessions of a Slow Writer

#WW The Emotions of Listing A Book For Free

Let me start off by saying I am not an expert in this. In fact, I’ve never put up my book for free before. This is all new to me! (How exciting.) But, yes, the first novel in The Timely Death Trilogy, Minutes Before Sunset, is now up for free. My publisher, Clean Teen Publishing,… Continue reading #WW The Emotions of Listing A Book For Free

#SATurday Emotionally Spamming Readers

Emotionally Spamming Readers I want to talk about something unusual…at least for me as an author…and because I’ve never really seen an article discussing it (other than how to avoid it), I thought it would be fun to address it. Overwhelming your readers with spam. Rather than talk about literal spam, I want to talk… Continue reading #SATurday Emotionally Spamming Readers

#WW I’m Leaving Again (But wait. There’s more.)

I’m leaving again. I know. I know. WHAT?! Didn’t you just get back from Penned Con in St. Louis? Yes. Yes, I did.

In fact, right as you’re… Continue reading #WW I’m Leaving Again (But wait. There’s more.)

#SATurday: The Value of Knowing How Fast You Can Read or Write

The Value of Knowing How Fast You Can Read or Write I don’t have time to read. I don’t have time to write. We’ve all heard the phrases before…and possibly even said it ourselves. We get it. We do. Every writer and reader has a busy life, because every person has a busy life. Finding… Continue reading #SATurday: The Value of Knowing How Fast You Can Read or Write

#WW The Joy of Progress Bars

#WW The Joy of Progress Bars If you’ve been with me for a while, you might remember when I used to have a progress bar on the right side of my website.

#WW Judging An Author’s Life

Judging An Author’s Life Recently—and by “recently” I mean a month ago—I posted this photo on my Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter, and . . . well, pretty much anywhere on the Internet that I have an account on. To my surprise, (and still to my confusion), I received a bit a slack for this. It… Continue reading #WW Judging An Author’s Life
