A Quick Blogging Tip
I admit I came to the computer today with no post to give you. I sat down and logged into WordPress and created a new post and categorized it under “Noveling Advice” … and I waited. Another glance at the schedule (because maybe my eyes deceived me the first time?) confirmed the fact that today is indeed […]
Beyond Her Calling Plot Reveal and the Final Q&A Vlog
Today I’m going to be telling you a little about one of my current WIPs, Beyond Her Calling (The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy, Book 4). I haven’t been sharing very much information with you up until now … but I think it’s time. Here’s my first attempt at a blurb: After Alice’s marriage and […]
A Lot (and I mean a lot) of Blog Tags
January 2017 Blog Tag Catch-Up Day Just so you know, I’ll be nominating a lot of people (or as many as I can think of) at the end of this post. Thanks Abigail @ The Freckles Fashonista for nominating me! <3 -Rules- Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog. […]
January 2017 Spotlight: Yet Another Peek into the Workings of At Her Fingertips
Another spotlight is upon us, and today I’m going to veer into uncharted waters with a discussion about The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy, Book 3: At Her Fingertips. What? you say. You’ve posted thousands of excerpts and quotes and made us read through post upon post about every stage of your outlining and writing process! […]
Ten Things You Need to do to Survive as an Author (and the Q&A Vlog Part 2)
Okay, let’s just start with a disclaimer: I’m not being serious. This is a fun, silly post. However, there are grains of truth in it, too. At least, I think so. Now, today I’m going to tell you of ten things you need to do to survive as an author. Now, in this case, I […]
January 2017 Dares (and New Year’s Resolutions)
Wow. Can you believe that it’s 2017? I sure can’t. I mean, I can believe that it’s 2017 … I’m not, like, doubting its existence or anything, but … wow! 2016 was such an amazing year! Almost nothing went wrong. Almost everything went right. But now we’ve got to move on to a new year. […]
December 2016 Spotlight: I Don’t Usually Write in this Genre …
I know it’s been several months (September, to be precise) since the last spotlight, but you remember what a spotlight is, right? Well, just to refresh your memory (or to inform you if you just started following me), it’s me shining a ‘spotlight’ on something I’m working on at the moment. Kinda like an author […]
In Which I Fail at Vlogging. Again.
Dear Reader, Unfortunately for you, I attempted vlogging again. Yep. That’s right. I made a vlog post today. I made three, actually. All on the same subject. The subject being ‘general author updates.’ The first time, I forgot what I was talking about. The second time, my brothers dived behind me and danced. The third […]
December 2016 Dares
Once again we come around to our dares. As I skipped the month of November dare-wise (as all I wanted to do was write At Her Fingertips, which I did succeed at), I have nothing to fill you in on. That’s right. This month you don’t get to scroll through my post laughing maniacally at […]
NaNoWriMo 2016: Wrap-Up
At Her Fingertips is officially finished at 66,172 words. Yesterday I wrote 8,611 which brought me to 65,978 words. I wrote the rest this morning. I’m pretty proud of myself. Last NaNo, I wrote 40,000-some words; the NaNo before that, it was 36,000. Both times, I barely made that. This year, however, it was easy […]
NaNoWriMo 2016, Update #5
Guess what? That’s right! I currently have 53,462 words. However, I made my goal (50,000) on the 25th. How many more words do I expect to get before November’s up? Well, at most I expect to reach 60,000 … but even that would be a stretch. I think I have that much material story-wise … […]
NaNoWriMo 2016 Update #4
I decided to do the post today as I doubt I’ll have time for one tomorrow – and I’ll be at the beach, anyway – and I obviously didn’t have time for one Monday! 🙂 At 44,594 words (and I haven’t written yet today), I’m zipping along at a pretty decent pace. Can I write 5,406 […]
