Post Vegas Aftermath – Writer’s Paralysis

I’ve watched a few more videos from the conference before I decided to stop. I mean, I learned tonnes and all the sharing was precious.

I was notContinue reading “Post Vegas Aftermath – Writer’s Paralysis”

My First Author Conference – Day 3 

It’s so true. I was so drained by my lack of sleep from Day 1 & 2 that the husband said I snored very loudly last night and I woke up with a stiff shoulder – likely because I didn’t move much when I slept.

She started off as just a mention of Zane’s past, but she refused to let me write her off. By the end ofContinue reading “Rookie Woes – What nobody told you about writing a series”

From a Not-so-n00b Writer to An Aspiring Writer

After I published my first book, I’ve got a number of friends who came to me to ask about publishing a book. I thought I’d just summarize here and share it with everyone. If you know of people who are embarking on the writing journey, do share this with them. First thing first, do notContinue reading “From a Not-so-n00b Writer to An Aspiring Writer”
