Okay, before I get into the meat of this post, I have to get in my shameless plug. If you haven’t already nabbed this one, now’s the time, as its enrollment in KDP Select is up next week, and I’ll be rolling it out to other retailers. Now, on to the topic at hand. […]
Busy busy at the office today (is there any other kind of Monday?). But I’m hanging out in a guest post over at Molly Greene’s today talking about my journey from self publishing to the traditional path and back again.
I posed the question yesterday on Twitter of WHY bloggers so often do not have a subscribe by email option. It was more a rhetorical question to prompt people to think “Do I have that? No, I don’t. I should add one.” And if it had that effect on someone, awesome. You might just gain […]
If you follow me at all, you’ve probably noticed an increasing frequency in the number of posts spawned by something I read at Daily Good. Seriously, I’m loving this having good news delivered to my inbox every day. We could all use our faith in humanity restored. It’s spawned a great deal of introspection and […]
It seems that I’ve read a slough of posts by bloggers lately where they are apologizing to their readers for having fallen off the face of the planet and making the confession that they don’t really like blogging, it’s a huge time suck, and they’d rather be writing fiction anyway.

Social media is a great thing. It is a lynchpin to any good platform that our content be shared. Our mamas all taught us that sharing is a good thing. But when it comes to sharing intellectual property like blog posts and the like, there is a right and a wrong way to go about […]
First off, I feel compelled to link back to Kristen Lamb’s recent and timely post about how to approach people for reviews, guest posts, or interviews without making us want to claw your eyes out. The request I got last night pretty well broke all the rules. Except for not spelling my name wrong. But […]
Well, if you’re reading this at the site rather than via a feed reader or email, you will note that my menu bar beneath the header is suddenly less crowded. So is my sidebar. Last night I decided to do a little bit of clean up, so I made a series of nested menus. I’ve […]
Okay, I have a gripe to share with you. This is something that’s been annoying me for a while, and I’ve been saving it for a day when I couldn’t think of anything else to blog about. It’s standard wisdom that writers are supposed to have a website/blog. It’s part of that whole platform thing […]
