Branding. Argh.  Sooo challenging…and so permanent.  It needs to be just right. Identifying your “brand” is kind of like going to college, where the goal is trying to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life.  But at eighteen, who really knows THAT? You have to pick a major but what are…
Hubby was just on Facebook and pointed to a picture of a girl named Gina who just had a Scrabble piece of the letter “G” tattooed to her ankle. Â He said, “Would you ever do that?” Â And I shook my head vehemently. Â “No, absolutely not. Â My name doesn’t begin with a ‘G’.” LOL. Â But seriously…….
I’ve been extremely occupied with edits for my second novel, “Nothing Ventured,” this week.  And I thought there was no creativity left in my overworked brain to pour into the old entrepreneurial arsenal.  Thoughts of Mia and Chris incessantly swarm my mind and my sole focus is to finesse their love story to the satisfaction of my editor….
Okay, I spend a lot of time covering ideas that others have but here’s one I’ve mulled over… People love autographed copies of books, especially books they actually enjoyed reading. Â But how does that work if your library is in electronic form and all of your books are downloaded to a Kindle or Nook? No…
My house is crazy-noisy. Â Like, ALL THE TIME. My husband and Lulu constantly break out into song…about anything that comes to their minds and at any given time. Â Sometimes, they take turns with piano accompaniment. Â Angry Bird telepods are forever sailing through the air. Â Super Mario 3D World…UGH…the music alone makes my ears bleed after…
I’m OBSESSED with creating images for Unlikely Venture. Â Gotta love the digital age! Â One of my fabulous author friends (who is on the best-seller list for New Adult Contemporary on Amazon UK!!) sent me something she put together for one of her books and I decided I needed to create one for mine. Â So the…
Some authors opt out of having manuscripts professionally edited.  I guess they think it’s an unnecessary expense.  Some authors just don’t know specifically what an editor does so they fail to see the value in hiring one. And SOME authors may think that their friends and family members can read a manuscript and find any…
I’m a very process-oriented gal. Â It’s a big part of my day job and I’m good at designing them. Â There are very good reasons why processes are developed, implemented and executed. Â They guide an initiative to completion. Â They lay out a set of logical steps that individuals can follow in order to achieve a specific…
I’m a little bleary-eyed as I write this. It’s been a looooong day for me. I woke up at 4:00 AM because I couldn’t breathe (damn forced air). Then I tossed and turned for about half an hour before I gave up on any hope of getting a few more winks. By that time, my…
When I decided to write Unlikely Venture, I just WROTE. Â I made some notes here and there but for the most part, I found out what was going to happen as I typed. Â I didn’t have the whole story mapped out, didn’t use an outline. Â But that style kind of suits me. Â I’m impulsive so…
