I’ve not been writing my fiction. I think it’s both procrastination and the “I don’t feel like it” syndrome.
I also think it is the same old fear. I’ll work so hard on this that I’ll fail. I’ll edit my novel completely and it will be rejected by everyone.
Ick. I know.
Well, here’s to fears. Because we […]

I think I’ve got some disease. I’m always tired and yesterday out in the sun my arms went all bleh on me. They were all tingly. It was weird.

I have chosen to drop the bother. I’ve […]

Freelance writing can be a fun, exciting career for people, but it can also be intimidating. It is not as hard as it seems. If anything, it is just a matter of being two steps in front of everyone else in the slush pile. The first step to getting published is to find your market. […]

AKA - How cheap will you go?
I, personally, don’t like knowing how cheap other people are willing to work. That’s just… sad. I’d rather live in my fairy tale mind, thinking that everyone is willing to put up a proper price. Yes, I know price will vary, but it at least matches your experience.

I decided that the novel I am working on right now will sound better if I actually write it in first person. Yikes.
So I’m doing the re-write, and it’s going along smoothly. I just hope I don’t have a stroke of smarts later and decide to go with third person. Or that an agent or […]
