Tomorrow, it will have been one solid week that I’ve been querying my new book, titled, “Jade Moon Waning.” Jade Moon is my second book and, on the day that I decided that it was ready to go out, I sat back and thought to myself, “What next?” What next, indeed? One of the ways …
If you’ve been following the blog for the past few weeks, you’ll know that I’ve been trying to manage my time better. If you’ve been following my Five Thing Thursday posts, you may have gotten a hint that, for me, it hasn’t been as easy as it sounds. Then the stars aligned this past weekend. …
Earlier in the week, I had what I’m going to call a mild anxiety attack. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that reads this blog, that I’ve got a lot on my plate at any given moment. My typical approach to this is to focus on just one thing – usually the one …
I mentioned last week that, for my birthday, I was giving myself the gift of Time. Seeing’s how I’m typing this up on Sunday morning, it’s taking me a bit of time to get some traction on that score. And that’s ok. This whole thing is a work in progress. I didn’t expect to have …
Of all the times during the year that I tend to get introspective – There are more than you’d think, but not many – the two times that I really dig deep are my Birthday, and New Year’s Day. This works out pretty well for me since those two days are nearly half a year …
Earlier today (or maybe it was late last night), a friend on Twitter asked the #writingcommunity what got people in the mood to write. It was a pretty lighthearted question and the thread was full of good music recommendations. But there’s a hard truth that you may or may not be aware of. You can’t …
So… Yeah… This post is a bit late. Well, better late than never, right? But why is the post late, you ask? And, if you’re asking, thank you for sticking it out today. This weekend I had set myself a deadline for finishing this revision pass on JADE MOON WANING. Then, as it often does, …
How many times a week do you ask this question, either of yourself or someone else? If you’re like me, you tend to do it more on the weekend than any other time. It seems a little ridiculous to ask it during the week, what with so many of us having a routine already laid …
I am deep into revising JADE MOON WANING. Of the feedback I got when I sent it out to my CPs, a universal response was that it was kinda slow for the first hundred pages. This time through, I saw a place where I could tighten that up. One little change… And over 8 chapters …
This past week was rough. I came back from Balticon, to an immense work load at the day job, that I’m still struggling with. It, along with other factors, combined into a kind of awful, mental stew that bubbled and churned. I lost sleep. When I did sleep, anxiety dreams struck. I was a wreck …
