As I mentioned on Sunday, I will be scaling back my posts this month as I participate in NaNoWriMo, so I'll offer up this little nugget in the meantime: It's been a year since I joined WordPress. I had a blog on my previous website, but it was getting very little traffic. I have enjoyed … Continue reading Time Machine Tuesday: My Very First Post

Thursday Thoughts: Cruisin’ at 30 000 (words that is)
I did my first NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) challenge in November. The goal is to write 50000+ words in one month. I didn’t think that I would accomplish this since I am a slow writer, but it did get me started writing longer works. Most of my creations are poems or short stories. I … Continue reading Thursday Thoughts: Cruisin’ at 30 000 (words that is)
Tuesday Tirade: Yet Another Aggravation Courtesy of Amazon.
Everyone likes free. Free books bring readers into your world, and introduces them to your writing at no risk. Sure, they may have to sign-up for my newsletter—depending where they have heard of it, but that’s marketing. The first place I published my free sample eBook was on KOBO (now Rakutan-Kobo). It was pretty easy … Continue reading Tuesday Tirade: Yet Another Aggravation Courtesy of Amazon.

Weekend Wrap-up: June 5
I've been trying to write everyday. At least something. Blogging helps because it gives me a schedule of weekly topics. My main writing project, a continuation of one of me short stories into a full length novel, moves ahead like a sputtering car, slow but sometimes jumping ahead in spurts. If I'm stuck, I will … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up: June 5
Weekend Wrap-up: May 28
Quick! How many days in May? August? What about March? Can you instantly recall that information? You are lucky. I sure can't. If you are like me, you had to start to recite: "Thirty days, has September, April, June..." and once you eliminated those ones, you came to the answer of 31. Did you know … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up: May 28
Weekend Wrap-up: May 22
I was able to get get back to my weekly blog schedule this week. I would like to plan out my posts better, but I'll admit, most of the time, it's a night before or morning of routine. Like right now... I do keep a running Word doc with my ideas and thoughts to build … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up: May 22
Free Book Friday: May 21 – Reading & Writing Sites
The story behind Free Book Friday: I've met many authors and readers during my time marketing, cross-promoting, and blogging. I think writers have a responsibility to inform readers about all the indie authors out there in the very crowded world of book publishing. You can't do it alone, and why would you when you have … Continue reading Free Book Friday: May 21 – Reading & Writing Sites
Weekend Wrap-up: May 15
I received my first shot of AstraZeneca several weeks ago. Two weeks ago I had a sore throat and a runny nose. Cold? Seasonal reactions? It went away in about a day. A week later I tested positive for Covid-19. Boo. I have been limiting my contacts over the past year as best I could, … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up: May 15
