Over the past few weeks, I’ve seen an increase in people talking down to or just downright insulting those of us that self-publish our books. I don’t understand this mentality. There are many reasons why someone might choose to self-publish their work and several different ways that they can do it. None of these reasons … Continue reading Publishing: It’s Your Decision

A Bit of a Dip: Taking a Break
This blog is a little late today as it took me a while to write it for reasons I'll explain below. It’s been a stressful few weeks. We’ve moved into our new house, and since then, it’s been pretty much non-stop with people coming in and out doing jobs. I wish I could say that … Continue reading A Bit of a Dip: Taking a Break

Another Monday
On a Monday I usually do a writing update and was hoping that today I would have the news that I finished editing the proof copy of Blindsighted, but unfortunately I don't. Editing is taking a little longer than I had originally expected for one reason or another, but I'm still doing what I can … Continue reading Another Monday
The Editing Struggle
When the week started, I was determined to get the paperback proof copy of Blindsighted edited, but it so far hasn’t happened for one reason or another. I’ve managed to get around three quarters the way through it, but the past couple of days haven’t been very productive. I find editing a difficult thing to … Continue reading The Editing Struggle
