Okay so I just realized this year marks my TENTH YEAR of attempting NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) -- that crazy endeavor where you aim to write 50,000 words in only 30 days. Ever since my very first year of embarking on this adventure (which I did purely because of peer pressure, mind you, and it was the best thing that's ever happened to me writing-wise)... I have, somehow, managed to actually write at least 50,000 words in 30 days. No matter what was going on in life. No ... View Post
FREE CHAPTER! A Bones in Blackbird preview…
As Bones in Blackbird nears publication ... GASP! Yes, that's right, it's almost that time again. Bones in Blackbird, the third book in my weird western (or something) series The Legacy of Lucky Logan, is about thiiiiiiiissss close >-----< to being ready to publish! And I say that like Bastard of Blessing (book 2) came out just yesterday or something. But it didn't. Bastard of Blessing came out ALMOST A YEAR AGO NOW and that is not how I wanted this year to go at all. But it's ... View Post
Okay, I’m going to ‘fess up…
I admit, I am probably not the easiest author to follow and/or support. You might have started following me because you liked one of my Twilight-Zone-style science fiction short stories. Or perhaps you saw all the teasers I posted a few years ago for an epic romantic fantasy, and you got really excited for that series. Or maybe you found me through my co-written ridiculous humorous space opera series Spaceship Ass, and were hoping for more donkeys on spaceships hijinks! Or maybe you ... View Post
Guest post: Character vs Caricature
Today's absolutely fascinating and brilliant post is curtesy of my dear friend, fellow Red Dead Online posse member, and reader Sydney Stokoe! I first met Sydney by chance over on Twitter, where she'd just finished listening to my Lucky Logan audiobooks and had tagged me in a post saying how much she enjoyed them. From the first time I read her comment about my books "keeping her yeehaw meter filled", I could tell she must have an awesomely fun personality! ;) I invited her to join my ... View Post
Why I Don’t Plot Anymore: My 2021 Mid-year Review
Since I can't seem to keep up with monthly updates or reviews or rundowns (seems I can't even remember what I did in a month, usually, ergh), here is a look back on my successes and challenges so far for the year 2021 as a self-published (indie) author. Being that on the day I actually felt like doing this, my wrist was flaming up (carpal tunnel, tendonitis, who knows, but something's going on there)... I decided to do this one as a vlog entry. And I might do more blogs this way, since it ... View Post
The Story Genius Solution! (Story Genius work-through Part 1)
Recently, in one of the author Facebook groups I'm a part of, several authors raved about a particular craft book called Story Genius by Lisa Cron. Now, I have a whole shelf-full of writing craft books, and I didn't really think I needed any more. However, after hearing several of this group's members chime in about how much they loved this particular book, and after hearing their stories about how the book put their current manuscripts back on-track, I was intrigued. Intrigued enough that ... View Post
