If you've been paying attention to my drivel for a while, you know that I do a lot of Audible books. There's a reason for that. At first, I was writing because I liked to write. The thrill I got seeing my story with my name on Amazon was enough for me. Then my writing became an obsession. I made... Sign in to see full entry.

It's been a hectic few days, and I'm glad they are behind us. I'm a creature of habit, and I'm not sure what was more of a problem, the issues we were having or not being able to release my 'inner demons' by writing. LOL, Don't take that any deeper than I love writing almost as much as I love my... Sign in to see full entry.

More on Promoting
I just posted a push for two stories in one tweet on Twitter. The first one is for the story Annicita and I are working on together and then her story in pre-sale. The hashtag #writing grabs attention to one group, the #amwriting picks up a different group, and my writing group is the #FreshInkGroup... Sign in to see full entry.
With a few 'emergencies' finally under control, I hope to get back to writing today. I was just getting to the meaty part of a criminal act for a story I am working on with Annicita when things went goofy here. My brother and his girlfriend have left for beaches south of here, so working on the... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday was an odd day, so it only follows that I could write at a strange time. I fell asleep about 8PM last night, but I woke up at four in the morning. I managed to get another segment in my Vella project of roughly (pre-edit) 800 words that serve as the gateway to the possibility of another... Sign in to see full entry.

Using #WritersLift As Free Advertising!
One of the good things about Twitter is if you know how it works, you can get a ton of free PR. This is an example of what I mean. This author posts: I didn't realize I was getting close to that 1k follower mark. Why don't we do a #writerslift to celebrate maybe making that milestone? Share your... Sign in to see full entry.

I've often worked on two stories simultaneously, but working on three or more is unusual. I have to produce about 2000 to 2500 post-edit words for my murder story to keep my Vella project moving every week. Then I am working on getting a new partnership story on its feet. It won't be that hard, but... Sign in to see full entry.

Useless, Senseless Blather About 'Stuff'
The nice thing about committing to do this Vella project on the fly is it forces me to write every day again. Within the next three or four weeks, I hope to have my own *private* office again. I used to write 3500+ words a day, but I'm getting back into the swing of things, getting roughly 1000... Sign in to see full entry.

There was a brief delay in the work under the house, so I'll talk about my Vella project again. I have posted several projects that did 'well' for a month, but then they went away. I decided to serialize this story because of its violence and language. I respect the people here, so I didn't post it.... Sign in to see full entry.

The next installment of 'In The Marsh' went live about 10 AM this morning. I was cruising through the limited stats that Vella gives us to get an idea of how far readers have followed the story when I found a glaring error. I suspect that most readers would have never noticed it in an ebook, but it... Sign in to see full entry.
