I didn’t know what to expect when I sat down to write today, and what happened when the words started rolling in came at me from out of left field. The whole writing time was pretty perfect — it answered a question I thought I’d lost track of, allowed me to bring back two folks… Continue reading SURPRISED!!! Two characters who went missing reappeared today with a helluva story…

Intern Program #1: FICTION Critter, Editor, Copyeditor, Text Layout, Cover Design, Fiction Launch Path
I’ve created my first intern program: COMMERCIAL FICTION DEVELOPMENT. The first intern program is for people who want to work with WRITERS OF FICTION (and personal non-fiction).

Back to 33 Mistakes for a bit
For the next few days, I’m working like mad to get all the 33 Mistakes books I have up on the website. My editor ended up not being able to do them, and I want to have them done before I start writing the How To Revise Your Novel course. My authors have already been… Continue reading Back to 33 Mistakes for a bit

So I’m delighted to announce that Lazette Gifford is going to be the production editor for the 33 Worst Mistakes Writers Make series. We have a couple of details to work out still, but some… Continue reading New Editor for the 33 Mistakes Books
Stress, Migraines, and Stuff You Love
As noted elsewhere—I hauled ass like nobody’s business for eight months to create a way for me to write the novel I wanted to write without having to do it to anybody’s specifications but my own. My mad plan worked, and for the first time since I was an RN, I had a regular, reasonable… Continue reading Stress, Migraines, and Stuff You Love
The Hard, Cold Publishing Numbers
I’m not sure why I got sucked into this today. Maybe so it would stop looping through my head driving me crazy. This is the second model I came up with, and I’ve been playing with portions of it since Friday. I wrote it all out today, and ran the numbers. It’s pretty scary. ===================================… Continue reading The Hard, Cold Publishing Numbers
The “Couldn’t Get WordPress To Let Me In” Responses
Oh, boy. I’m not putting names on these because they were sent to me privately and not all of them had the “couldn’t get WordPress to work” comment. SIDE NOTE: I host my weblog myself, on my own site, which means your WordPress.com ID won’t work here. You need to create… Continue reading The “Couldn’t Get WordPress To Let Me In” Responses
So, About That Publishing Thing
As I mentioned in the Writing Updates a short while back, I figured out how to do the publishing thing. Now, not five or ten years from now. But knowing how to do it and knowing if I should do it are two different things. Here’s the thing. I came up with a wonderful business… Continue reading So, About That Publishing Thing
