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!”
Cities Around the World
Reading other writers never fails me. There’s always some line that makes my highlighter busy, and the frenzy of copying it down so that I don’t forget it. Today, is no different and my next bit of inspiration came from the introduction of Around the World in 80 Books, by David Damrosch. The line thatContinue reading “Cities Around the World”

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”

A new month is here and I’m going to triple publish! The two books that I’ve help design, format, and edit are in the final week and I can taste the publishing button. There’s a few cover design changes and the final proof that only happens before the printing begins. The third book is oneContinue reading “Triple Publishing Month!”
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
