Total for the week: 2,746 words. The week’s wordcount is a couple of blog posts and some lengthy reader emails. I didn’t get to breaking ground on the new novel last week (but I started this week). It puts me a little behind again, but nothing serious. Onward. t.

A writer friend of mine asked me this question a few weeks ago, and I found myself answering in great detail. Just in case you were wondering the same thing, here’s my (modified for public access) answer. —- Is the indie fiction market oversaturated? If you look at the whole publishing industry as a monolithic

Total for the week: 10,722 words. It was another week when the word count doesn’t really reflect the amount of work really done. I finished story 2 for the year, after plotting it and the entire series that came with it (it was the first in a new series). I also did all the post-production

I came across a journal entry from 2018 recently that made me nod even more fervently than I did when I wrote it. I’ve cleaned it up and add it below for you to ponder upon. About using the time you have, now. I wish, I wish, I wish I had understood this when I

Total for the week: 22,308 words. It was an okay week. One of the days was used for plotting and another for post-production on the book I finished this week (which is book #1 for the year)–I spent a day of writing time doing the clean up of the book I finished so I could

As I write this post, I’m looking back at a week of writing that just didn’t happen. Oh, I got a few words down, and I have been focused upon getting the writing done, including a new switch up in routine to keep it fresh. But the first half of the week was a disaster.

Total for the week: 15,273 words. It’s time to call bullshit on “getting there”, because for some reason, I’m just not. I can’t–yet–figure out why I’m not getting the words down, either. But this coming week had better see some serious mileage or I’m in trouble. So. t.

Only a short post this week as I’m seriously behind. Cal Newport has a long and interesting post about the use of ASMR in Immersive Single Tasking. (Along with a retro image of Bob Ross painting, which was what caught my attention in the first place.) Immersive Single Tasking is the new sexy in productivity,

Total for the week: 22,829 words. It was not as much as I would have liked, word-count wise. But it was the start of the book, which is always slow. Onward. t.

Compiling your book into ePub and Mobi requires that the manuscript be in a text editor of some sort. It doesn’t matter if you use Vellum or Jutoh, or one of the many other epub compilers, or if you upload your book direct to the retailers and let them do the heavy lifting, you still
