Sweet Release

I enjoyed a bit of dabbling yesterday.

Dipping a toe into this writing project, lazily swirling a finger into that work-in-progress. There was no rush. No deadline munching at my heels. It was utterly delightful, and I smiled all day long.

Ahh! The release from an 8-day writing binge is so sweet.

Until tomorrow…

Grunt Work

Perhaps I should spend more time with a grubbing hoe?

While I was out prying old stumps out of the ground, my Christmas novella from way back (2011 to 2012ish, I think) has found a new home!

Riverdale Ave. Books will publish “Forever Bound with Tinsel” as a standalone this December. Formerly ensconced in Ravenous Romance’s Well Hung by the Chimney anthology, my boys will get the spotlight all to themselves this winter. I’m ridiculously tickled by this. Apparently, this will lead into the 2017 re-release of 5 of my novels currently out-of-print.

Woo-hoo!

Tomorrow looks to be the promised travel day, so enjoy your Sundays everyone. I will see you, 

Monday!

Until Monday…

The Writer-Widget Wars

Back to the writing grindstone today.

Please pardon any extraneous words or messy plot points that might fly your way. Wearing safety glasses and a snazzy leather apron is suggested in this workshop.

Of course part of the pro-author gig nowadays is keeping up a website. Fine and dandy for the tech-savvy who know what the heck a widget is. But for the rest of us, a day of dot-com upkeep is a frightful thing that exposes all sorts of insecurities.

Well, that was yesterday and will probably be a huge chunk of today as well.

Yuck.

But with Quiver (17^th novel, baby!) being released Thursday, I’ve got to tidy up the old virtual homestead in case company comes a-calling.

Allow me to repeat: yuck.

However, I’m hoping that the call of that old grindstone will be answered sooner rather than later today. I’m all decked out in leather and goggles just for such an occasion.

Remember newbie writers… Writing nowadays is unfortunately more than telling a good story. It’s about selling that story. So keep up that storefront, no matter how yucky the job may be.

Until tomorrow…
