Ah, Monday. I both love and loathe them. I know there's some debate on what is the first day of the week. Some people say it's Saturday, some Sunday, and some believe it's Monday—and I'm one of them. I love the opportunity to start anew. Who doesn't? That's one of the reasons we celebrate our … Continue reading Shiny New Ideas
Good afternoon, folks! You know that saying about when life gives you lemon, you should make lemonade? Well, life definitely gave me lemons—actually, I'd say it pelted me with a five pound bag of lemons. But, instead of lemonade, let's fry some chicken. Keep reading. About Those Lemons On Monday, I wrote a post about … Continue reading Life and Lemons and Chicken
Happy Monday! So, I'd like to just dive straight into my topic for the day: Refocusing. If you'll recall from my post last week, I mentioned I only had roughly 10k words left in Alabama Rain before it would be finished. Now, 10k words normally only takes me two, three days tops to bang … Continue reading Refocusing
Hey, good lookin'! Happy Thursday! So, it's officially summer now. For you that might mean lounging by the pool, a cool drink in your hand—or maybe on the beach, stretched out on the sand, watching the waves and working on your tan. If that's you, then you should really check out this giveaway my friend … Continue reading Q2: How’d I do?
Happy Monday, everyone! I'm taking a little blogging break this week as I am finishing up Alabama Rain, but I'm pleased to announce that fellow indie author, KT Daxon, has stepped up to contribute a guest post! Thanks, KT! Without further adieu, let's see what KT has to say! The Advantages of Word of Mouth: … Continue reading Guest Post: Word of Mouth
As I'm nearing the completion of Alabama Rain, my mind is drifting to the three-ring circus that is the book launch. And it is a three-ring circus! First and foremost, let's get one thing straight: This is not an advice post. I'd love for this to turn into a discussion, so please flood me with comments. … Continue reading Book Launches
Happy Monday Tuesday! Whoops! So, small confession: I'm on vacation...and that weird vacation-brain where you forget what day and time it is totally sneaked up on me quickly. Even though my husband went to work yesterday and I knew I had a Monday writing group meeting...something about yesterday didn't feel like a Monday and I totally … Continue reading Writer Pride
Happy Thursday, folks! Some people are frightened of change. I'm related to a few people who fit the bill. I'm not necessarily talking about rearranging the furniture, (though, I've known people to flip out about that, too) nor am I talking about getting a new haircut (though, there are a lot of people who get … Continue reading Change Is Scary Beautiful
How the hell are you supposed to see no evil on the internet? It's the internet! Last week we talked about speaking no evil—biting our tongues when we otherwise might not want to. (Unless of course someone is being legitimately abusive in some way.) The week before that we talked about hearing no evil, which … Continue reading See No Evil
Getting back to last week's topic, let's talk about speaking no evil. [Edited to add: After I finished typing up this post, I couldn't believe that all I said really needed to be said, after all I write for adults. I then skimmed through a few things online and realized that it does still need to be … Continue reading Speak No Evil
