#WW How To Be The Perfect Writer

The other day, I went to pick up my father at the airport. Knowing it might be a long wait, I decided to listen to NPR, a favorite station of mine. The theme of the day was creativity, and considering how suiting it was, I knew I would love it no matter what, but much… Continue reading #WW How To Be The Perfect Writer

So, wow. Yesterday was my three-year anniversary of blogging right here on http://www.ShannonAThompson.com. Three years. My first blog post was on September 25, 2012.

#WW Stopping Guest Posts & New Line-Up

Since January of this year, I’ve featured a guest writer every Monday. I was hoping to continue this tradition for at least a year, but with the Christmas season approaching, I’ve been denying articles more than accepting articles (due to the submitted articles mainly being advertisements). That being said, I’ve been very fortunate that so… Continue reading #WW Stopping Guest Posts & New Line-Up

#SATurday: Writing Update: Take Me Yesterday

I’m writing this blog post before I announce I’m working on Take Me Yesterday, book 2 of The Tomo Trilogy, but I’ve probably shown you a teaser by now.

This may be personal in regards to my writing life, but I’d be surprised if it were unique to me. During and right after a book release, it’s difficult for me to write. Not because I don’t want to, but because I end up spending hours upon hours on Luna-P (a.k.a. my lappy toppy) for interviews,… Continue reading #WW Writing in Limbo
