You’d think having a snow day would mean more writing. It usually does. But today is maintenance. It’s time to update the banners on my social media, write the newsletter for publishing day, and work on my covers. There’s stuff to do running a business, and it’s not all the fun creative stuff. Though making […]
I wish I had more to say about my writing today. That’s the real problem with the daily writing blog, not every day is exciting. Especially not when I’m editing. I’m mostly picking apart sentences and debating word choice. Making sure POV is consistent and makes sense. Nothing that really changes the plot or is […]
Yeah, I’ve been staring at the screen for a few moments, trying to think of something to write. Things are pretty quiet here. The kids are at school. Sheepsquatch is more or less ready to go. I’ll listen to it the audio tomorrow (and I’ll live tweet it), but really that’s for my peace […]
I am amazing at procrastinating. I know most people would consider writing my daily blog the night before the opposite of procrastinating. The kicker is that it’s supposed to be a daily exercise. Now granted, I give myself one day off a week, but I’m also digressing to make a point. I don’t want to proofread. […]
The weepies are mostly past, replaced with more than a little annoyance at the fact that I subscribe several tv/movie outlets but outside of Hook I can’t find any of my favorite Robin Williams movies to watch with my kids. Though I did watch Hook with them last night, and they loved it. Today I’m […]
It’s blurry, I know, but my short story, Hunting, hit #22 on the Kindle Short Reads list yesterday. So I’m pretty stoked about that. Still looking at different ways to market and get the word out, because the weeks between now and publishing the first Monsters of Pittsburgh story are pretty long. Anything can […]
It’s time for the monthly airing of insecurities! *Kate, you’re a day early…* Yes, logical self I know, but I have a blog hop tomorrow, and I hate posting twice in one day. So, here we go: I’m not selling any stories. It’s super frustrating. At first, I told myself, it’s because I’m writing […]
All work and no play makes Kate a dull girl. All work and no play makes Kate a dull girl. All work and no play makes Kate a dull girl. All work and no play makes Kate a dull girl. All work and no play makes Kate a dull girl. All work and no play makes Kate a dull girl. All […]
I have spent the last week adjusting my categories and key search words every 6-15 hours. Basically, as soon as the changes clear, I search for my stuff. If I can’t find it where I want it, I switch it up again. Why is this so important? Because I’m afraid my stuff is buried. I’m […]
I finished my Nanowrimo ahead of schedule, which is great, because I have sorely been neglecting my publishing business. Which I know sounds weird since finishing my Jeff stories means I have enough material to publish for a year. But self-publishing isn’t just about the writing. I am my own marketing team. Which is why I […]
