With as much as I’ve got on my plate these days, I’m always looking for ways to get more done, quicker, etc. Sometimes, under certain circumstances, I am tempted down dark paths. I’m talking about Multitasking. You know what I’m talking about: You do a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and …
Happy Sunday Everyone! I hope you’re enjoying the weekend. This Saturday (OK, yesterday) I started the first editing pass on the current WIP: Jade Moon Waning. After letting it sit for a month, I knew I was ready to begin edits, when the story would start to pop into my head, unbidden. There isn’t much …
Happy Friday Everyone!! We made it! I don’t mind saying that this week has been a bit of a train wreck. I’m feeling self-induced pressure to produce. It’s not like I haven’t been working, but it’s been a struggle. And I really need to work on planning and balancing things. And I’m still all over …
Happy Sunday (what’s left of it) Everyone!. I hope you enjoyed the weekend. So here we are, at 8:30 in the evening. In an ideal world, I’d have been reading for a half hour already and looking forward to another 15-20 minutes, before getting ready to hit the sack, so I can get up at …
Welcome, Everyone to the final Friday Fess-Up for July. We Made it!! Not a moment too soon, honestly. I try not to be repetitive here on the blog. I mean who wants to read the same things over and over but, I confess that I’m still struggling with the whole work-writing-life balance thing. And let …
The month of June saw me doing something new here on the blog. Might be you saw a recurring theme on Mondays: The Two Questions With…blog tour. To recap, myself and a group of amazing writers each hosted the other on our blogs where we would answer two questions. Who were the authors, you ask? …
I don’t normally participate in National Novel Writing Month. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything against it. Usually, when November comes around, I’m not in a place where I can participate without putting the current project on hold for a month. This year is different. I’ve got an outline down, most of the …
This was going to be a post about Time Management… So, naturally, it’s the post that’s a day late. Clearly, I am not a Jedi yet. But that doesn’t mean I’ve got nothing to say on the topic. I got a heck of a lot of stuff done this past weekend, so I’ve got to …
I didn’t think I was going to get a blog post up, because here I am, decompressing after ConCarolinas, looking forward to spending nearly an entire week almost completely within my own head. For those of you new to the blog, every year – circumstances permitting – I meet up with my writer’s group and …
Two weeks ago, I talked about some of my plans for 2017: To recap, I set down the challenge to write either one book this year or no less than 10 short stories and submit them. I decided on writing the book and have been working steadily on it since the turn of the year. …
