I Didn’t Quit!

I love ‘I didn't quit' stories. As my son, Jeremy says, “Keep on pushing.” When you have a gift, you have to do it. Whether it is drawing motorcycles like my son, or writing books like me, or going to school, or working at a job that you know you are...

Write? Any Day But Today!

I'm tired and cranky and all out of sorts. And I have fifty chapters left in what I think is my 18th pass of edits. I'm sick of the story. I would rather clean the oven or gather junk for a trip to Goodwill. The sun is somewhere else. Not here anyway. Gloomy gloomy....

Pe-e-e-ek!

                                                         This is a peek at the book cover. I can't believe this is mine! Thank you Jane Dixon Smith! The design is perfect! And thank you Judy Krysl! The title is perfect! This is...

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...
