I’m beginning to think it’s a prerequisite for authors to have split personalities. Not the official diagnosis but the conceptual one. I was just thinking about how terribly I’ve been procrastinating on one particular job all this week – every time I think of it, I see a looming and daunting task that I justContinue reading “Split Personality”

Are Labels Truly Defining?
In my book Time’s Tempest, Taya isn’t your average introvert/extrovert – those labels don’t accurately apply just as they don’t for many of us. The average individual will show signs of tendencies toward one label or the other but tends to be a mish-mash of both attributes. How then do you categorize someone who isContinue reading “Are Labels Truly Defining?”
Starting from Scratch: Plotting the Journey
Within the last 24 hours I have decided to move forward with the goal of publishing 3-4 books in the next 12-14 months. If I’m going to show the skeptics and myself that writing for a living is truly possible then this is an important first step. So, how do I begin?

If what is beingContinue reading “Dealing with Personal Faults”

The Journey of Life is a Process
I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Write what you know.” It’s interesting to see how much of who I am and my own life experiences comes out in my writing. I mean – I write science fiction and fantasy! I’ve never been to another planet, experienced another dimension, played with (real) magic, or even excelledContinue reading “The Journey of Life is a Process”
The Journey of a Lifetime
Readers enjoy a good sequel and books seem to have the market covered on that front. Hollywood has managed a few (some of the Terminator sequels were just as good or better than the original, same with Transformers, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and the Marvel Franchise) but their best work tends to arise from booksContinue reading “The Journey of a Lifetime”
What Am I Working On?
I just had an interesting conversation with my husband about what I’m working on these days. He knows I recently signed on with GWL Publishing to work on the first book of my science fiction/fantasy series but he has trouble keeping track of what I’m doing. So here’s the list I gave him: Editing theContinue reading “What Am I Working On?”
