Hey homedogs. So, I may or may not have just started a brand new novel in the midst of crafting the middle chapters of another novel... Oops, I did it... again. Well, ordinarily, in the past when I've started a second or third or fourth or fifth or tenth book on a whim, I usually …

Dear fellow writers: the mistake I made
So, this just kind of dawned on me the other day. I've been listening to a lot of podcasts and reading about indie author marketing lately, so I've kind of had a slightly big mindset change, all centering around this one idea... My books are not for everyone. I had this idea in the beginning, …
Stuck.
We've all been there. We know the feeling. Uninspired. Drained. Loss of motivation. I've certainly been feeling stuck myself lately, so you're not alone. What's important to focus on, now, though, is the "how-to"... not how to get stuck, but rather how to get unstuck. So, below, I've created a short list of all my …
Am I writing too fast?
Normally, I can't get myself to sit still long enough to write 100 words at a time. Now, though, I'm churning out 10x that (you can do the math for me) with no problem. It's great, really, and I love that I'm now making progress on my next novel... but now I'm afraid I'm just …
Todotodotodotodo
To do—not todo. You know, not like the "idiot intern" on iCarly once said... Pulled from icarly.fandom.com Ah, I still love a good iCarly reference, no matter how far from the "iKari" days this blog gets... But, seriously, it seems like I see "todo" lists everywhere these days. Mentally, that is, for the most part... …
Strange, new feels
This feels like it's been the longest week in... not my whole life, but a while. And, just so you know now, this post is going to probably turn into a rant at some point, if not all the points. Recently, guys, I've been feeling it. You know, not that it, but it. What was …
“Poems in progress…”
That's the name of a new document I currently have stowed away under my writing folder on my MacBook. Well, actually, it's not even really new. I actually started it about... oh, gosh, over a year or... maybe even two now... but, anyway, I abandoned it pretty soon after starting and only now am really …
Put yourself in your character’s place
Become them. Yes, you all, I am back from my incessant questioning to bring you some real content. Not that the Inquiry Entries wasn't real blog content or anything... but, I'd like to get more at answering the questions rather than asking them this week. So, here's the part where you get to ask the …
Do our moods dictate our writing?
I'm noticing a pattern. For example, I actually don't feel like writing this blog post right now. But I'm still doing it. But maybe it won't turn out as amazing as I actually planned. I'll admit it, I've actually felt really out of the writing mood lately. Things have been busy. I've been sleepy. I …
What it is like. To have. A. Ruptured Ear Drum
I'll tell ya what, guys, it's not fun! So, um, I got this super nasty ear infection, like, three weeks ago. And, I know I'm a little prone to ear infections because I have small ears and small ear canals and small... well, everything, but this was bad. Like, I started to get a tiny …
