Yes, you read that correctly. One of my main success tips for not losing your mind with all of the teensy-weensy to-do items an author maintains is to ensure you’re making the most of each ten-minute time slot you have in the day. We each waste many ten-minute blocks of time each day. Of course […]
I recently attended a baby shower for a pair of great friends I’ve known for more than a decade. I wouldn’t have struggled to choose a gift for this wonderful couple, no matter what. They’re just the best. But I didn’t even have to think about it. I knew what I wanted these two to […]
At the end of my last post, I touched on the fact that you won’t make money with your writing for some time after you start. Likely for at least a few years after publishing your first book. If you do, you have struck gold — but that’s no way to plan to make a […]
In my last post I talked about planning, and a little about what works for me.

Water Rites — my YA contemporary fantasy love affair with the sea! *grin*The first book comes out March 9th, and you can already pre-order […]
As I said in my last post in the Own Your Writing Career series, each writer has their own path. We all have different lives and commitments and goals … there is no single path to writing prosperity. Especially in this brightest of times for writers. There is no one path. Don’t waste too much […]
Writers, if you need a little lifting up, to know you’re not alone, or just to feel more in control of your writing life, this is the blog series for you. I’m a very small fry in the independent publishing river. I published my first book in August 2011 (and lurked for ages before that), […]
