When I first started out writing, I had a wonderful illusion that writing full time would mean just that. I would write, all the time. I would spend all of my day writing or editing. Isn’t this a beautiful thought? Wake up in the morning, have a wonderful breakfast, then go to my writing studioContinue reading “A writer’s daily and weekly to-do list”

I might have mentioned before that I’m reading Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach this year. I’ve done this a few years in the past, and it’s never failed to be a transformative year. And man, do I need this to be a transformative year. The book is mostly a set of essays to readContinue reading “My (imperfect) sacred space”

  Nanowrimo probably isn’t something that’s really on your radar right now. I felt like I was still recovering from November in January myself.

Dear Heart is toldContinue reading “Author interview, Linda Lingle”

It’s almost impossible to be a professional writer. That’s right, I said it. I’ve been a published author of multiple books for two years now. And I’m not close at all to making enough money to quit my day job. And let’s be clear, some of this is just out of my control. The economyContinue reading “Being a professional author is (almost) impossible”

I recently, and by recently, I mean some time last year, redid all of my Station 86 e-books to relaunch them on Smashwords. That was a project. Building e-books, in general, can be kind of a project. But it had to be done because the e-books needed an update. I mean, you have to figureContinue reading “What to put at the front and back of your self published book”
