You may have noticed, or maybe not, that I haven’t been posting here lately. I wasn’t on vacation or ill or doing anything glamorous or interesting. I was just taking a break. Last time I posted here, I was very busy reading, but I wasn’t doing much writing at the time. I’m sort of in […]
Non-writing goals are the ultimate writing-time-suck.
I’ve never really had to schedule time to write. Writing has always been a priority and my schedule has always been enough of a priority that I have almost always been able to find time for it. With all my other commitments this year, I’m finding that if I don’t schedule time to write – […]
Haiku, Review, and Progress Overdue
How’s that for rhyme-tastic? :P Because I decided to go all-out reference-crazy on this post, here’s a clip from Flight of the Conchords, Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros. Saying “rhyme-tastic” reminded me of those crazy dudes. Enjoy. Poetry: rocking it haiku-style As promised, and since I’m on a book frenzy, here’s a spontaneous poem just for you: […]
A Time to Write, and a Time to Edit
After all that editing for Quiet on the Set, I am so glad to be writing again! I’m still working on the story I began just before Camp Nano and work on in April, but I’ve also got a really long list of other projects to begin. If you were to look at my writing […]
Blog Tour Wrap-Up: Part 2
First up, the winner of the $20 Fandango gift card during the tour is: Catherine Lee! Congratulations! My suggestion: Man of Steel opens this coming weekend, and Much Ado About Nothing the one after that. Just a suggestion. Enjoy! Thoughts overall What a trip! It’s been really fun for me these past couple weeks touring […]
As the Tour Approaches…
So I took a week or so off earlier this month because I felt overwhelmed by everything I had going on, and then I got hit with a whirlwind of new stuff that took priority over my slacking time off, so I had to get back into it. The Tour I cannot believe the blog […]
What I’ve Learned About Publishing This Year
Today marks the one-year anniversary of the publication of my first book. That being the case, I wanted to take a look back and evaluate everything I’ve learned in the past year about publishing, because it’s a LOT. I Never Set Out to Be a Publisher With Realistically Yours, a book I wrote during the […]
I Did Something Bad…
I’ve been feeling like I have some pent-up creative energy after editing for so long. So, last night, I snuck in a little writing… and it was AWESOME. I feel a little guilty considering I still have a lot to do before my new book comes out, but just that little bit of writing and […]
How Do You Know When to Stop Editing?
So, I’m behind. Again. After taking a long weekend off to deal with my personal affairs, I’ve put myself just about four days behind schedule and I can’t seem to catch myself back up! I haven’t posted here lately because I’ve been so busy trying to get back on track with my editing, and in […]
Dates: The Waiting Game
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! […]
