Writing During a Pandemic

Writing During a Pandemic

October 19, 2020September 30, 2020Leave a comment

Drained. Exhausted. Anxious. Worried. Sad. Angry. Scared. Just a small sample of what I've been feeling since March. Many of you are likely feeling similar emotions. I've seen so many writers and artists on social media beating themselves up for not being able to do their creative activity right now, or just not feeling like … Continue reading Writing During a Pandemic

Missing My Volunteer Duties This Year

October 7, 2020Leave a comment

So this is kind of an off-the-wall post, but I figure I can't be the only one who is missing the opportunity to volunteer this year because of the pandemic. So here goes. I typically volunteer with a month-long program called Close Encounters with Agriculture. It's run by the local Extension office and brings volunteers … Continue reading Missing My Volunteer Duties This Year

August 9, 2020August 12, 2020Leave a comment

Sad news, y'all. I had been accepted for a vendor table in Artist's Alley at Awesome Con in Washington, DC for this year. But because of the pandemic, the con was first delayed until December and now the December date has been cancelled. I'm really quite sad. This year was going to be the first … Continue reading Events Update: Awesome Con 2020 CANCELLED

A First Draft in Record Time

August 3, 2020August 12, 2020Leave a comment

Record time for me, at least! Just this month, I finished the first draft of an upcoming standalone novel. I began outlining and writing only in April, so it took just four months to go from start to finish with a completed draft! Let me be totally honest - this is highly atypical for me. … Continue reading A First Draft in Record Time

Cover art is typically the first introduction to a book that any reader sees. Naturally, you would want to put your best foot forward. You want something that represents your book, your brand, and your genre - and you want to make sure you have the legal rights to use any images! Let me take … Continue reading How to Choose Cover Art

Pride Month and Books

June 29, 2020June 29, 2020Leave a comment

I'm rather late in getting this blog posted (apologies!!) but I fell behind in my writing schedule. June is Pride Month, and I wanted to do something similar to what I did with the BlackoutBestsellerlists initiative and buy two books written by fantasy authors who identify as LGBTQ+. I discovered this is going to be … Continue reading Pride Month and Books
