I think I know myself pretty well. I’m full of contradictions. I’m a PANTSER who sometimes tries foolishly to plan. I often criticize myself for being very light on detail when I write, and yet I had other writers tell me recently that they love my world-building. I’ve also been told that I’m a very polished (or posh) writer. Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals My blog entries were posted on schedule. All my available stories are out to market. Marketing is not working for me. I don’t have enough confidence to throw money at it, especially considering most of my work is short fiction. The free promotions I’ve done and my free series starters have resulted … Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals My blog entries were posted on schedule, and what stories I have remain out in the markets. ChoosyBookworm promoted my two series starters again, and between them I had 36 more free downloads. I also posted on Indies Unlimited Thrifty Thursdays and Kindle Unlimited Fridays like I do every week. Starting today, … Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals My blog entries were all posted on schedule, and all my available stories are circulating out in the markets. My next indie release is scheduled for April 16th is still planned as Herc Tom #11, so if you haven’t read 1-10, now would be a good time to start (hint, hint – … Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals My blog entries were all posted on schedule, and all my available stories are out to market. “The Rendering” is available for preorder and will have its release day this Friday, February 19th.

Last Week’s Goals My 3 blog posts posted on time, and I continued my minimally adequate comments on the blogs of others. With what I’ve been reading and seeing about marketing, I’m starting to wonder if this is an effective use of my time – I will probably stop tracking it when I set my … Continue reading
Last week’s goals: I made my three blog posts on time, and my comments on others’ blogs as well (I must not be hinting enough about wanting comments, or maybe I’m just not asking the right way – or writing provocative enough posts. Well, I yam what I yam…) My stories that are available for … Continue reading
Last week’s goals: I made my three blog postings, as well as comments on others’ blogs. I’ve continued listening to A Mark of Kings, and I feel like I’ve been mired in an example of something you should avoid as a writer for a couple of days – more below the “*****”… All my non-published … Continue reading
Progress on last week’s goals: I made my three blog postings, but missed on my commenting on other people’s blogs (two is not enough – why is it so hard for me to do three?) I haven’t gotten very far into O’Connor & Chmilenko’s A Mark of Kings (in the past, I did most of … Continue reading
Last week’s progress: My blog postings and comments were done as required. I had another story return from market; I sent it back out in a day (Literarium really helps when it comes to finding markets. I still don’t know how to use the tool to keep track of my submissions, but I’m happy to … Continue reading
