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

When the heat is on
Good morning, everyone! I've got a confession to make. I haven't written my 500 words for a good week. It's been too hot. Yes, I know it's a relative term. This area doesn't see the blistering temperatures other parts of the U.S. do, but we've been warm. And, when you rarely see temps in the … Continue reading When the heat is on
The little things that matter
Good morning! I need more coffee. LOL. It's one of those mornings where I'm trying to get so much done that I'm thinking I need some sort of i.v. pole hooked up with my coffee machine. The road from the day you start writing until you hit the level of success you dream of is … Continue reading The little things that matter
Day 3 of Sales – Ascent of the Fallen
Good morning! The Solstice Shadows sale week is halfway over! Today, I want you to take a look at a great read. Free will is ever our blessing and our curse . . .

A short story contest to share!

Solstice Publishing has published many first time authors and are actively seeking fresh new writers to add to our Solstice family. Many authors got their foot in the publishing door … Continue reading A short story contest to share!
Sock Puppets, Contests, and You

I'm proud to say that 'Ralph the Jinn' is doing well! It's currently sitting at #5, with voting open until May 5th. Yes...I need … Continue reading Sock Puppets, Contests, and You
And I’m back!
Hello everyone! Vacation was a blast! Muse the Purrbot has forgiven me for leaving her for a full week. Much coffee was purchased during our visit to Harry & David. And even more relaxing happened. Yes, you can drive 7+ hours most days and relax. LOL I've got things going on 'Sanctuary' again. And I'm … Continue reading And I’m back!
When you hit the wall
Good morning everyone! I hope all is well with each of you. The weekend was a bust for me, in that I didn't write one bit. Unless you consider scattered posts on FB. And even those were few and far between. Every now and then, each author will hit walls. You'll either lose your motivation … Continue reading When you hit the wall
When Sales are Slow
Good morning! We had great weather over the weekend. So much sun! Which led to all sorts of other things being done, and not much writing. Rest assured, I'll be doing more of the latter soon enough. We may have experienced a milder than normal winter, but spring isn't here. Yet. When you're a relatively … Continue reading When Sales are Slow
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
