Quiet on thet Set Book Tour Week 1: Done

1 June 2013 by Jessica Leave a Comment

It’s been kind of a crazy week! Doing a blog tour for my book during the week has been a little tough while I was working. I couldn’t check in as often as I wanted to, so I’m afraid I may have missed some opportunities to connect on that front. Hiccups Also, I haven’t quite […]

28 March 2013 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Phew! What a nightmarish week it’s been!

Dates: The Waiting Game

2 February 2013 by Jessica Leave a Comment

No, I’m not talking about relationships. I’m talking about scheduling: setting dates and goals for yourself to get things done within a reasonable time frame. I just looked at my original time frame on where I wanted to be with my edit-in-progress, and according to that, the book should have been coming out next week! […]

Writer as Matchmaker: The Best Friend Romance

8 January 2013 by Jessica Leave a Comment

One of the classic romances is to have the main character fall for her/his best friend. As a writer, and on a personal level, the best friend romance is one that has always made sense to me. Being close to someone first and knowing each other really well – so well that you’re finishing each […]
