Scrivener Rocks!

I'm finishing (I hope!) edits on Released.      Checking the thread of pipes. (Ask my sister or read the book! It comes out soon!) Changing chapter numbers. I inserted chapter fourteen in between thirty-four and thirty-five. (Or I think it was there.) Then I had to go...

To ISBN or Not ISBN? What’s a Girl To Do?

Writing. Editing. Revisioning. ISBNs. What? To ISBN or not to ISBN? Say that fast over and over all day, like I have been! I'm researching buying my own. It's like the UPC thingy on products only for books. Reading “The Global Indie Author: How anyone can...

Real Beginnings

Recently, I was asked to participate in an author panel at a local library. Me. I could get nervous if I let myself, but what really hits me is: I am an author if I have been invited to be on an author panel! Since that call, I have been thinking about what I will...

Calendars, Scenes, and Sequences

My editor recommended setting up a timeline for the current fiction I'm editing. The story line was really messed up. I had the scene where Mr. Main Character shot the guy before the scene where he chose the gun! (Maybe not that bad but just about!) So I made this...

Not Giving Up — Gittin’ Back In The Saddle

I don't do New Year resolutions, but I love getting my journal out and rehashing where I'm at with God, life, writing, relationships, art, etc. January 3rd was a good entry for that, knowing that this year, 2015, I will e-publish several books and short stories. I...

Bargaining with NaNoWriMo

It's November. NaNoWriMo month. That's National Novel Writing Month. It's where … maybe go to their site. They explain it better. You write a book in a month. For those that do that 12 times a year, it's okay. For the rest of us? I'm days behind, but I'll catch...

Isn’t He Cute?

I know. This is weird. You know where I am, or rather, what department of Menard's I'm in. Posting about being in the bathroom is creepy enough, but taking a picture in there is over the top! But, I have to do it. I see little faces all over and I have to shoot the...

Peanut Butter, Frosting … and Diets

How much peanut butter is okay on this keto diet thing? Because I use peanut butter like I eat frosting–thick and gooey. I am just exploring the ketogenic diet world. I like it so far. Butter. Peanut butter. Steak. Now to see if they allow frosting...

Grammer Monsters

Grrr. Infinitives. Conjugations. Prepositions. Is there an easier way? Do I have to know English to learn Spanish? =D Do I have to learn grammar to learn Spanish? Do I have to speak grammar to write a book? Can't I just learn Spanish like my grandkids are learning...
