Weekly Log – February 9: …and onward.
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.

Is The Indie Fiction Market Over-saturated?
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

Weekly Log – February 2: Okay…
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

Using the Time You Have Now
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

Weekly Log – January 26: Recovering
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

Do you need to stop and assess? Don’t say yes TOO fast!
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.

Weekly Log – January 19: Crashing.
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.

Weekly Log – January 12: Sorta okay’ish
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.

Weekly Log – January 5: Ugh.
I skipped the work log post last week because I had nothing to report and I was moving at Mach 10 with my hair on fire. I put in very little time on the current book (I’m plotting/world building/series building), as Christmas and New Year preparations and celebrations distracted me (and so did several gifts’
