Earlier this year I made a career switch which had been hard at first, but very rewarding in the long run. No more working myself to death, no more being underappreciated, no more being taken for granted. It’s only for a half year each year though, so I’ve got to find a way to fill… Read More What 2019 will bring
It’s been one heck of a year! There’s always ups and downs, with most turbulence typically concentrated around the last couple of months, I feel this has been a good year for me when I look at the netto outcome. My memories forever fuzzy but what I do remember is starting to keep track of… Read More Looking back on 2018
Since my wordcounts have been steadily growing I’m going to increase my writing update posts. It won’t be a weekly affair, since there will be uneventful weeks, but I will write updates when I meet certain milestones. So when I finish outlines and start drafting a new story, when I’ve finished a first draft, and… Read More Higher wordcounts, more updates!

Honestly, it hadn’t been all that easy to… Read More I’m Back!

As mentioned earlier I’ll be sharing some elevator pitches and descriptions of my book WIPs. I’ve got a few ready for you and thought it might be a good idea to post them over the course of January and February. These will be a part of my writing progress updates from 2018 on. I’ll be… Read More Writing updates, elevator pitches and book blurbs
As you can see I’ve been working on updating my website. It’s got a new look, and I’m going to make a few changes to its content as well. Some of the changes have already started a month or so ago, but I feel like a reminder wouldn’t hurt anybody. No monthly newsletters I started… Read More Updated Website!

Okay, so I’m thinking about what I’m going to do with my writing now that I’ve been creating more stories. I finally succeeded in writing flash fiction, which is probably what got me rethinking my plans. At first, I intended to submit them all to eMagazines but I’m thinking that might not be a good… Read More Publication choices: self-publish or submit/query
