February 2017 Spotlight: Goals and Titles (Again)
Sorry about the post being so late, guys. I’ve been distracted … by How to Train Your Dragon. What? I need to spend more time with my brothers, so … okay, you’ve got me; I like HTTYD. Then I’ve been in this kinda mood these last couple days: And my family is like this: And […]
A Quick Works-in-Progress Update
Today I’m going to update you on my current projects as briefly as I can, just to give you an idea what I’m working on now. Seriously, guys, I promise to be brief. Like, super brief. Like, I’m probably spending more time explaining it than I will on the actual post. Before we go on to that, I […]
February 2017 Dares
Well, it’s time for another round of dares! *shivers* Seriously, though, guys! How time flies! (Wow, I’m a poet! Which … is actually true … unlike most of the stuff I post on this blog … haha, what? I did not just say that …) Before you sink your juicy whites into this pearly post […]
Focus … and Re-Focus …
Well, guys, I’ve made a tough decision. I’m going to focus on editing/revising Ivy Introspective and The Dressmaker’s Secret for these next couple months to the exclusion of all other projects. What does that mean? No more Flowers?! Well, I’ve almost finished the story, and I think I need a second opinion to keep going. […]
A (Brief) Tour of My Room and Random Poems
I decided y’all need a tour of a published author’s room so when y’all are published authors, you’ll have some ideas for décor. Okay, who am I kidding? I just want to show off my organizational skills … which are really awful, by the way. To fend off the boredom, I’ve got a bunch of random […]
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 […]
A Lot (and I mean a lot) of Blog Tags

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! […]
In Which I Humiliate Myself
Since you all seem to like me, I decided that should change. How am I going to go about changing that? Well, I’m going to post a lot of random excerpts from books I wrote … years ago. For this, I have to go here: Yep. The file folder “No Longer in Use.” *lightning, thunder, […]
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. […]
In Which We Examine Millie Lark on a Non-Professional Basis
Today we’re going to take a peak at the inner workings of a character from The Lady of the Vineyard. Her name is Millie Lark. She is Adele Collier’s best friend. She gets all of two paragraphs of page-time in TLOTV and perhaps a mention in Flowers. However, I like Millie and am considering writing a […]
