Recently, I spoke with a couple of fellow writers when we began discussing writer problems. I showed them my #WriterProblems series that I did almost a year ago, and then, I realized I never shared 10-15. I also realize many of you may not have seen the cards I made for writers back in the… Continue reading #WriterProblems 11-15

#SATurdate: Cassandra Clare, Content Disclosure, and Lemon Cookies
I met Cassandra Clare this week! She is definitely one of my favorite YA writers, so I jumped at the opportunity to meet her. We even geeked out over Twitter before the event, and I had two books signed by her. She is super sweet, and I definitely recommend attending her events if she comes… Continue reading #SATurdate: Cassandra Clare, Content Disclosure, and Lemon Cookies
#WW How to Avoid Writer Burnout
Writer burnout is different from writer’s block. How? While writer’s block is a force that prevents you from going forward, writer’s burnout is when going forward too much and all the time eventually exhausts you (and your resources). I think it’s important to understand the differences, because the solutions to these problems can be quite… Continue reading #WW How to Avoid Writer Burnout
#WW Being A Writer Isn’t Everything
The other night, I was wallowing on the couch. I do this a lot. I can admit it shamelessly. But that’s probably because it’s a fake wallow. I enjoy the dramatics of it…and I do it all alone…with my three cats watching me. (Call it a guilty pleasure.) There’s something about hearing myself pointlessly complain… Continue reading #WW Being A Writer Isn’t Everything
#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 Writer Problems 6-10
#WW Writer Problems 6-10 We like to believe that writing is all fun and games (and the worst thing that can happen is battling a thesaurus.) But writing is so much more than that, and because of all the work that goes on behind the scenes, writing often consumes the writer entirely. It lurks in… Continue reading #WW Writer Problems 6-10
April’s Ketchup
April’s Ketchup I don’t know about you all, but April brought Missouri uncountable thunderstorms, rain showers, and book news! (Hehe.) Changes to my Ketchup posts have been made. This time I’m including my YouTube videos and my Dark Members of the Week. In May, I have a bigger surprise for Members of the Dark, so… Continue reading April’s Ketchup
#WW Writer Problems 1–5
#WW Writer Problems 1–5 If you’re on my Facebook, then you will be familiar with today’s content. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been sharing little cards that I make called Writer Problems. I only have a few out, but I decided that I wanted to share them on here too. So today was born,… Continue reading #WW Writer Problems 1–5
