Meant to Thrive {semi-hiatus explanation}
Hi everyone! Looks like I won’t be posting much except required scheduled posts (e.g. blog tours/etc. I agreed to do ahead of time). In July and early August, I’ll be posting every Saturday to update you on the Kees & Colliers blog tour, but otherwise, this will probably be a very lean summer. And here’s […]
99 Summer Goals for Writers
Are you ready for 99 summer goals for writers? I was trying to think of a great way to serve you as we enter the summer months, and I realized one of my biggest problems is … productivity. Summer is often unproductive for me. Even though I still work, I feel lazier and more tired […]
We’ve Come a Long Way, Mates
Hello, mates. I’ve been thinking about the future a lot – but, though my mantra could easily be “keep moving forward” (or “live in the moment; work for the future”), I love remembering the past, too. I’ve realized recently as I make plans for the future and think how to enact them in the present […]
3 Fun Ways to Plan for the Future
I have mixed feelings about planning for the future. One part of me is so thrilled for the future that I can barely wait and can’t stop dreaming about it. The other part of me is like, “Eh. That sounds boring. What will be will be.” So, to soothe both sides of me, I make […]
I’m Looking for Guest Posts!
Hi there readers! As you probably know, I’m Kellyn Roth, the author of Reveries (this blog). I’ve been blogging since September 2015, and it’s been quite the journey. I’ve gone from writing for my mom and a few friends to an audience of over a thousand who actively engage in my silly posts. (God has […]
April 2019 Dares
HELLLLLLOOOO! March hit me hard. Like, really hard. And I have a ton of catchup. But let’s take some time to write a quick recap even though I’m dead inside. On a sidenote, CAMP NANO IS HERE! And I am so excited! I changed my project Monday to finishing up the Kees & Colliers series […]
10 Reasons to Read Baby Mine
Hello readers! Today I’m going to share with you about a book you should definitely read … though more than a book, it’s a short story. Still, you should read it. Baby Mine is a 9,000-word historical fiction story about a little girl named Amaliya Preobrazhensky, her mother, and a man and woman who can […]
5 Tips for Finding Your Market {a writer’s guide}
As writers, whether we’re independent or working towards being published traditionally, we’re often given a piece of advice: know your market. This basically means “know who you’re selling books to.” Don’t be a person who says, “Oh, yeah, everyone will like my book.” Instead, focus in on the best readers for your novel—and sell to […]
March 2019 Dares
HEY THERE! I always forget February is a short month, and honestly, 28 is sooo much less than 30! But here we are. Still alive. I think. I feel like I’m not really up to writing this post, but I am anyway, which is dangerous. *squints at my words, wondering if each one sounds crazy […]
How to Overcome Notbusyitis
As I’m writing this (Tuesday), I don’t have work because of the snow. It’s 2:30 (4:10 now that I’m going through and editing), but instead of leaving for work in forty-five minutes, I’ll just … be here. On the couch. Presumably being useless. I have a little-known disease called Notbusyitis. Victims of Notbusyitis are not […]
I actually have to read nonfiction?
I’m currently going through a lot of research for my novel-in-progress, Alone in Berlin, and it’s not easy. I’ve written a lot of historical fiction, but this one requires more research than any other I’ve written. Also, I’ve just been working on The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy and the Kees & Colliers series for […]
I’m Back {A Bunch of Updates}
Well. I’m back! And now it’s time for me to tell you about all the stuff I’ve been doing in the last month, etc. So if you’re not a fan of rambly updates, be gone. (I’m just kidding; stick around, anyway. I’ll try to make this not-rambly. Though it’s painful, you know. Like ripping apart […]
