Everyone I know is struggling right now, in one way or another.
During the pandemic, the housing costs in my area doubled (along with
everything else). My family and I had to move during it, so our landlord could
profit from the rising property prices.
We managed to find a place for twice the cost of what we had been paying
for seven years. (it was either here or homeless)

Happy New Year!
Here's hoping 2020 is all that you hope for.
To simplify my life (and make more time for writing) I'm moving my blog from blogger to my website. It is my hope having one less social media stop will allow me to post more regularly.

There are no words to describe how I feel about what my friend and editor is going through right now. I've shared her story many times and keep hoping that it was passed on enough times that some helped.

Your driving along - doing the speed limit (mostly) following signs, laws and the lines on the road... using common sense...
The car riding on your bumper pulls out and passes - when it's not safe to do so...
You grip the steering wheel tighter and curse inside your head (or not) ...
THEN the one in the hurry turns off three seconds after passing you.

The first book I wrote was fast and easy - that one bleed into the second book, then turned into a five book series.
Somewhere along the way, I paused to mull over the fact that I had written ten books...
Finishing The Telepath was number twenty-eight.
Twenty-eight books.
Book 28 finished!

I finally wrote the last line on the last page of The Telepath - as I've mentioned (somewhere) before, this book was a mess of information.
I'd gone back through it three times while writing it to cut and move pieces because it just wasn't working for me. There were threads from the previous six books hanging all over the place - so I tied up all the threads.

For
years I’ve been trying to unravel the mystery of using social media to it’s
full potential.
The problem I’m having is all ‘instructions’ and ‘advice’ say
to “engage your audience”.
I
understand the concept well enough, there is just one problem—I am not a social
person in that way.
I can’t post every little detail of my life on social
media. I follow many people that Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567733023692904868.post-91848021419555242122019-02-11T08:00:00.000-05:002019-02-11T08:00:08.364-05:00Pick a spelling...
We
all notice it at some point, the differences between certain words in Canada, the
US and the UK. It didn’t affect my life until I started writing. My editors would
either correct my “spelling error” to the US version (for books edited and published
in the US) OR ask me to pick a language, Canadian or American English.
I
live in Canada so obviously I decided Canadian – which was bad for Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567733023692904868.post-48879635038380126672019-02-10T08:00:00.000-05:002019-02-10T08:00:04.743-05:00Odd thing about hands
I came across this odd thing...
How?
Why?
So
IQ means nothing, look at your hands and you’ll figure out how intelligent you
are. What happens if your hands aren’t the same? IF one hand says your normal and
the other says you’re a genius? What if you were in a work accident and lost
the tip to a finger… does this mean your intelligence was downgraded?? Or if
you broke it, and it Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567733023692904868.post-90125992541446035332019-02-09T08:00:00.000-05:002019-02-09T08:00:07.605-05:00Pet peeve of the day at the gas station

You’re

the pre-order period for the 6th book in the Alterealm series ALL books were

I
did warn you on February 3rd this ‘randomness’ day would be just
that.
Recently
I started driving a grey vehicle, soon after I discovered it is a VERY common color
in my area and even the type of vehicle is unusually popular.
I got tired of
trying to FIND said vehicle in parking lots, so I had to get creative to tell
my own from others.
This is what I came up with:

This
is where I’m at with the Social media craziness of an author’s life!
I know what I have to do, just can't navigate the treacherous path to get there.
It feels like this trying to figure out what to move to get it to all line up.
This is what I see in my mind every time I have to plan my social media calendar.

When I first
started writing, I didn’t understand the need for Beta readers. NOW nothing happens without my beta readers’
input. The final draft doesn’t even get sent to the editor until the beta’s
have climbed through my stories. Final
versions AFTER editing do not get published without my beta readers confirming:
The flow of the
story makes senses and has no awkward spots.
