Good morning! I'm a little scattered today. Muse the Purrbot is hurt in some way, which makes me unhappy. Trip to the vet is happening in about an hour or so. We don't think it's serious, possibly a pulled muscle or such, but she hissed this weekend. Muse never does that. As authors, we tend … Continue reading Acceptance vs. Approval

How to keep your job
Happy Monday! Muse the Purrbot is curled up on my lap, and I'm content sipping my tea as the work day gets started. I was thinking on something last night, and I'd love to hear your thoughts. It seems there's a group of authors out there who think, once they put their name on the … Continue reading How to keep your job
On Piracy, and who it truly hurts
Yes, it's Thursday. But this got in my head and it's too important to wait. I had someone tell me they bought books from a site, one I'd never heard of. They said they went there because it was cheaper. It's a pirate site. I get it. Times are still rough for lots of us. … Continue reading On Piracy, and who it truly hurts

Are you Sabotaging your Sales?
Good morning! The solstice was yesterday, the sun's warmth will be returning soon, and I've got two kids awaiting Thursday morning. Me? I'm thinking Muse is going to have a fun time with piles of paper and boxes. I'm not big on twitter, but I do get on there once or twice a day. It's … Continue reading Are you Sabotaging your Sales?
What do you really want as an author?
It's a question we all have to ask ourselves at some point. And I know I've brought it up here more than once. But you really need to think hard about what it is you want as an author. Do you want to write because not writing isn't an option? Are you willing to spend … Continue reading What do you really want as an author?
A Top Ten List of Sorts
Good morning! Trying to gather my thoughts this morning, but it's not been easy. Between my day job (which I LOVE) and a retail one for the holidays, I'm doing 50 hour weeks right now. Thank the Goddess I have a freezer full of coffee! LOL No, I haven't written much original stuff beyond this … Continue reading A Top Ten List of Sorts
‘Tis the Season!
Happy December! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We stayed home, kept things relaxed. Watched some football. Never put on a pair of socks to go anywhere. LOL A lot of you went shopping. I know this, because I spent time behind a cash register all weekend at the seasonal job! For the … Continue reading ‘Tis the Season!
