Sarcasm, Honesty, And the ocassionally edited book
Yep. I’m doing it. I’ve had a Patreon page set up for over month now I haven’t launched. I have been planning it now for about a year. I didn’t do it because asking people to support me in my writing journey from a financial point of view felt crap. But […]
Read MoreI’m having a rant. Want to know why? Because people are being bullied. Being threatened. Being made to feel unwelcome and unwanted in the #WritingCommunity. I wish this wasn’t the first time I’ve spoken about how I’ve seen or been guilted in the #WritingCommunity about what I do with my Twitter, Facebook and […]
Read MoreWe talk a lot about writers block and what to do about it. All the different tips and tricks, and outright clownish tom-foolery in order to just sit down and shuffle twenty six letters until we can finally finish the fugly dumpster fire we somehow have to convince people to love […]
Read MoreThere has been a lot of talk lately about the #darkgate incident closely resembling #cockygate and some of you are already looking at me thinking… what? Okay rehash in a few simple lines for a subject that is anything but; Feleena Hopkins, tried to trademark the word “Cocky” in the US for her cowboy […]

A few months back someone sent me a screen shot a tweet that criticized authors for talking about writing many words in short […]
Read MoreWriting for You I’ve been bummed lately. I’m not even gonna lie about about it. “Don’t post about negativity.” Blogging 101 – and today… I don’t care. I’ve been stuck in a little bit of a rut and what I want you to know is how to conquer that because right […]
Read MoreThere is a battle on Twitter at the moment. I first witnessed it from several readers who were attacked by Indie authors for leaving anything but a five-star review. Authors… attacking readers. What kind of a fucked-up person do you have to be to attack your own consumers? One reader had given four […]
Read MoreI was recently speaking to a friend about what else she could do beyond the basics of getting her marketing plan ready, and what it was to actually have one. There were things I knew, information I’d learned over the years that I’d kept to myself. Another Twitter user asked for some pointers, completely separate, […]
Read MoreSixteen weeks ago I was curled against the wall sobbing that there was no point being a writer anymore. I had to stop working on the Last Prophecy series and I wasn’t sure I could keep doing this. I wasn’t just tired, I was well and truly beyond weary. Exhausted. Five years ago I met […]
