What I learned From Writing Short Stories – Rethinking My Approach to Fiction
Due to waiting for feedback on a novel, doing revisions and editing on others, and in general trying to hold off on starting too many big new projects (because I need to also publish them at some point), I've written a lot of short stories this year. In fact, in the last 3 months I've... Continue Reading →
The Best Book on Writing & Book Review: Techniques of the Selling Writer by Dwight V. Swain
I probably haven't read as many How To books on writing as I should, but I've read a few and I came across this one as a recommendation for further reading from another one.

How To Keep Writing Novels In a Crisis
At the start of this year, I had a plan. A really good plan, if I get to say so myself. I made a calendar in Excel, mapped out when I'd be doing what, which of my manuscripts needed to be revised, edited, read through, and fixed. I had deadlines plotted in, and I even... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Fate Unknown by Michelle Burden
The premise is simple: psychic woman helps police detective solve crime. It sounds a bit stereotypical when I put it like that, but the way it's executed is fascinating. Ann Marcus is our main character. She wasn't born with that last name, that was one she took as she got older. She took it after... Continue Reading →
