Hello Monday. You’re unexpected. Sometimes when I’m overly stressed, I can’t concentrate on creativity easily. It’s not a flowing process, so I need to cleanse my brain’s palette. There are two ways that I do this: I make lists of everything I need to do. One of the things I constantly stress about is forgetting […]
Mondays are very sneaky, aren’t they? Just as you get used to living in the weekend, BAM, Monday wakes you up at 6 a.m. YES. One way I personally interpret this – and I feel there are many ways to read it – is that editing is also creativity. In order for me to write and not […]
For those of you who have played the Victorian psychological horror video game Layers of Fear, you know that the story can be a bit tricky to piece together, and there is plenty left to our imagination. I love things like that, so naturally I’ve thought about all the pieces of the puzzle a lot […]
Monday is only acceptable if you take the day off. I love this concept. In this day and age, with all the social sharing we can do, this has never been more true. We can share small works, especially passages from our current WIP and haikus and photography. Whether it’s through something formal(ish) like Wattpad […]
Today is the day when we finally see the cover for Kris Nacole’s Hart of Country! She’s holding a Facebook event for her cover reveal that will have loads of giveaways, author takeovers, games, and lots more. This is not an all day event, it’s just a few hours, from 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time to 4:30, […]
Monday keeps coming around again, but I didn’t send it an invitation… This is so extremely true. Creativity isn’t about waiting for inspiration to strike, it’s about living in an inspired state. That’s how I see it. Some times are more creative than others, but if I don’t allow myself to live in my creativity, […]
I have a big ol’ update on Locke and Keye, the second book in the Dark Victoriana Collection, and it was too big to write! Instead, I’ve updated you in my latest video:
Let’s start this post with a side note: the plural of “haiku” is “haiku”. Very few people acknowledge that though, so I always say “haikus”. That’s what you’ll find in this post. Now let’s get on with it. One of my Pinterest boards now has original haikus by me! As many of you know, I’m a […]
Yesterday I was blown away by Travis West’s (Darker Voice’s) wonderful words about Anatomy of a Darkened Heart. Travis isn’t a guy who likes any ol’ book or movie, so I was on tenterhooks as I read every word he wrote. Here’s a sample of his review: “The language is melancholy and beautiful, concise but with a […]
Oh Monday, why are you so persistent? When I read a book, whether it’s in my genre or not, I constantly think about what I would have done differently. I don’t mean that in a critical way. I mean that I wonder whether I would have included certain details, whether I would have expanded some sections, what […]
