If you would have told me I would write a book when I was a kid, I would think you were nuts. If you had told me 5 years ago, I would have laughed in your face. If you told me 3 years ago, I would shake my head in disbelief. And after I started … Continue reading Day 40 of 90: Lessons learned #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors #Inspiration

Day 38 of 90: Individuality #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors
I had an email in my inbox this morning that I was afraid to click. It was a reply from a reviewer, and all I could see of the body was, “I can’t believe you…” I almost didn't open it, I wanted to hide from whatever the person wrote. But, my curiosity got the better … Continue reading Day 38 of 90: Individuality #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors
Day 37 of 90: The Game #SupportIndieAuthors #ASMSG #IAN1 #IARTG #Inspiration
I keep hearing people worried about the future of publishing, and of authors in general. I’ll admit, I started writing thinking of sharing my story with the world. I planned on it being an instant hit, and me making tons of money from it. I thought a publisher would pick it up, all on the … Continue reading Day 37 of 90: The Game #SupportIndieAuthors #ASMSG #IAN1 #IARTG #Inspiration
Day 35 & 36: Damn Power Outtage #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors #Inspiration
I wrote this yesterday while the power was out, and continued it this morning as a two days in one spread. Just a couple issues I think need to be addressed, because people are going to people. Why is everyone so threatened by having a place where they can’t just rip on someone? As … Continue reading Day 35 & 36: Damn Power Outtage #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors #Inspiration
Day 34 of 90: Fimuk #SupportIndieAuthors #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #Inspiration
I don’t give a crap what you think. I mean that in the best way possible. I’ve been told plenty of times that I’m an upfront a-hole, I tend to dig myself holes that are difficult to recover from. It’s like I suffer from Insert Foot Into Mouth Up To The Knee Syndrome, or FIMUK. … Continue reading Day 34 of 90: Fimuk #SupportIndieAuthors #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #Inspiration
Day 33 of 90: Change #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors #Inspiration
I hear it takes fourteen days to form a habit. Fourteen days, and it all starts to come together. While you might struggle to remember or start the task to start, by the end of two weeks you should find it much easier. That is to say, things get easier with time. I believe this is … Continue reading Day 33 of 90: Change #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors #Inspiration
Day 32 of 90: Proper etiquette #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors #Inspiration
How to properly ask a book blogger for a review. I’m writing this because I still get requests that just don’t seem to understand that you are selling not just your book, but yourself. I receive upwards of twenty book review requests a day(though it usually averages out to about 1 or 2 a day). … Continue reading Day 32 of 90: Proper etiquette #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors #Inspiration
Day 31 of 90: #Inspiration Origin #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors
Where does inspiration come from? How do you start to build an entire world, populate that world with different people, express those different personalities and views all while coming from your own perspective? You live life. You go out and experience a sunset, you stop to smell the flowers. You let the wind rustle the … Continue reading Day 31 of 90: #Inspiration Origin #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors
Day 30 of 90: Third of the way there #SupportIndieAuthors #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #Inspiration
Didn't quite get two thousand words yesterday, but I guess you can't win them all. My sickness finally knocked me out in the afternoon, and I never recovered. That's okay, though. Today I feel much better, even if I can't breathe out of my nose. At least it isn't dripping anymore! It's all about perspective. … Continue reading Day 30 of 90: Third of the way there #SupportIndieAuthors #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #Inspiration
Day 29 of 90: Feeling sick #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors #Inspiration
As I write this, I'm having to pause my typing to blow my nose. I’m determined to get this done the way I want to. I almost curled up in my blankets this morning, all I wanted to do was shut the world out. But it’s hard to get where you need to go in … Continue reading Day 29 of 90: Feeling sick #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors #Inspiration
