Round 2 of Publishing!
The zoom parties just don’t end. Instead of being up all night finalizing a manuscript, I screen shared with my two new authors to do several rounds of tweaking to remove any errors in the preview launcher. Those who publish online with Amazon know what I’m talking about. Those yellow triangles that tell you whenContinue reading “Round 2 of Publishing!”

Fantasy Writing Prompt
The second night of writing music continued, and I was treated to the soundtracks from Studio Ghibli movies. Instead of levitating snowflakes. Yellow flower petals softly fell down in the foreground of a small Japanese village overlooking the sea. One school girl made her way down a winding hill with her bag in front ofContinue reading “Fantasy Writing Prompt”
The One
Last night, I discovered writing playlists created by other writers on YouTube. Then, I switched to party music before some random channels started playing and my catlike eyes lifted up to the screen when some soft bamboo music started to play. My body relaxed as I watch the snow up from the ground and towardContinue reading “The One”

All Nighter

What I really wanted to do was to have a good dinner, rest, and relax after a long week. IContinue reading “All Nighter”
Love Notes
I was getting ready for today’s prompt when something wonderful happened. My forgetful nature of setting things down and forgetting them gave me a surprise. I hid a Valentine’s Day card for my husband in one of the books I’m reading, and it made me smile. I thought, “What a great surprise to give someone,Continue reading “Love Notes”
Publishing Race
Crunch time is here for my two authors and I’m feeling the deadline pressure. There are few more things I need to share when it comes to the hitting the publishing button, and you may want to look at the FAQs of your fellow authors who’ve used the same platform. Why? Hitting publish isn’t theContinue reading “Publishing Race”
A Poet’s Chair
This week we’re exploring books from around the world and I have to ask, if you could plan a literary tour around the world where would you begin? Would you start in your own country? Or, would you begin your journey on another continent? I’m thinking this might be my idea of a retirement plan.Continue reading “A Poet’s Chair”
My literary tour, Around the World in 80 Books, has seen the light of day. I cracked open the cover to the introduction and right away there was a reference that I’m adding to my list. David Damrosch said he fell into another world as he read, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.Continue reading
The Gaming World
After this weekend, I understand why I traded our Xbox for an iPad. My husband recently acquired a game controller for an Xbox one and it was a bad idea. Why? My plans to get more things on my writing list were deterred by a game on our tv and a new controller. It wasContinue reading “The Gaming World”
