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
February 2021 Writing Wrap-Up: The Ever-Elusive “Routine”
This post took me longer than usual to write because... honestly I couldn't seem to wrap my head around what I accomplished in February. Lately, it just kind of feels like my brain has fallen right out of my head. But alas. I can wait no longer to make this post. February and March are already running together. :P So here we are. I shall try my best to make this make some semblance of sense. But no promises. It might be rambling and nonsensical... Challenges Covid. Obviously. ... View Post
January 2021 Writing Wrap-Up
Here we are... already one month done into 2021! Yowzers! And so, as promised, here I am again to document my challenges and wins as an author over the last month! THE CHALLENGES Well, let's face it. The biggest challenge remains the fact that myself, my hubby, and my son are all home with each other 24/7 these days. The hubby and I are both working 100% from home since covid began (thank goodness we have that ability though!) and we made the choice to have our son do 100% virtual ... View Post
