Publishing Day has come and gone. Now the challenging part starts. Expanding my empire. The last of my stories will be coming off of KDP select and disseminated across the interwebs. I’ll be everywhere soon. All this will be happening as I format the omnibus edition. For an added challenge, I’ve decided to release through […]
This weekend was devoted to me figuring out if I had story. Everybody agrees that the secret to making a living self publishing is volume. This means that I constantly need to be writing. I know how the story ends. I figured that out when I decided to write more Pittsburgh stories. I rarely start […]
Yesterday was one of those days where I found myself unable to do much of anything. I flitted from project to project never really finishing most of them. I did rework the beginning of Sheepsquatch, and I started my cover for the omnibus edition of Uncommon Animals. I played with the basic cover template for […]
So last night, my newest proofreader finished Hunter’s Moon. All that’s left to do is read it out loud to the husband. Yes, I even wrote the blurb! The end is in sight. Yes, I need to make the cover for the anthology, but I picked an easy one. And there’s minimal formatting and NO […]
Publishing Day is looming. I’ve proofread four out the six previously published stories. My cover is done. My blurb is not written (I hate them). My finale is mostly proofread. My promo is prepped. I’m feeling a touch overwhelmed, I admit. But part of that is the end of the school year too. Picnics, field […]
So finishing the finale of Monsters of Pittsburgh starts the next phase. Polishing it and adding more foreshadowing in the other stories. I am a firm believer that you cannot adequately foreshadow until you know for a fact what the ending is. And just because I know what I think the ending is, doesn’t mean […]
It’s rough and needs a once over even before the betas can read it. But I finished the second series before June. The first story, Succubus will absolutely be ready by Sept 8. It feels good to be ahead of schedule. And while I have a publishing deadline looming, the cover is done, and it’s […]
Figured if I was going to go musical theater might as well go all out. I’m on the final part of the last Monsters of Pittsburgh story. At this point its all about the last fight… which, of course, KILLS ME. I hate writing fight scenes. But that’s it, the last fight, followed by the […]
I’m drinking tea out of my new mug, and enjoying the sunshine, sans a new tattoo, but that’s not my kids’ or the husband’s fault. My favorite local tattoo place went and got weird on me. I’m making some progress on the finale for Monsters of Pittsburgh. I got over 2k words written last night. […]
So I finally got some real work on the finale for Monsters of Pittsburgh. And as I sat down last night to bang out more words, began rearranging scenes and refining the four thousand words I had. And I kept that up for about an hour. Then I remembered that had the shutterstock images for […]
