In my search for answers of what inspires other bloggers to write, I decided to go to other bloggers and see that they had to say. I asked them two questions: 1. Do you ever struggle with trying to figure out what to write a blog post about? 2. Where do you get your inspiration […]
When Do I Read?
I’ve seen it come up lately. I’ve heard the questions. When do you have time to read? It is a little puzzling, even to me at times, how I managed to get over 30 books read in under two months and still write, blog, plan a widows’ luncheon, babysit, and do many other things. Sometimes […]
Goodreads Tag
Bother! This blog tag doesn’t have an image! Oh, well. I’m too lazy to go find something so you’ll have to do without. 😛 Rules: Thank the person who tagged you. I believe it was Kate who tagged me. (I think she likes to tag me. That’s probably because I’m busy reading and don’t see […]
Reviews that Make a Difference
Book reviews are everywhere. You can read them on people’s blogs, Goodreads is full of them, Amazon has more than you’d ever have time to read, and yet we keep writing more. Everyone is recommending books that you just “have” to read. Sometimes we do get reviews that say, “this wasn’t worth reading.” And other […]

Writing by the Seat of my Pants
What? You are one of those authors? You mean you never plan your stories out? How do you do it? You should read this great book on outlining your story. Don’t you have to outline and plan before you write? Yes, I am a “pantser.” I don’t plan my stories or books. I don’t outline […]

Indie Publishing – Pros and Cons
When I first started out in the world of writing and publishing, I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t know anyone else who had self-published their books like I do now. In fact, I wasn’t even sure how to get my book published. I started looking. I asked some people I was […]
Self-Publishing – the Pros & Cons
Self-Publishing, Indie Publishing–There is not much difference in the two. Most people use the terms interchangeably. But just remember, for the purpose of this blog series, we are going to use “Self-Publishing” to mean doing everything yourself or at least being in charge of everything, and “Indie Publishing” as paying a publishing house to publish […]
