Self Editing
Editing is not my favorite part of the writing process. Other than formatting, it’s probably my least favorite. How can one stay focused while doing something one dislikes? You have to have a plan and work through each step. I tend to get finished with one step and get really excited and jump ahead toContinue reading “Self Editing”
Lost in the World
Writing fantasy and sci-fi takes a very special idea in this day and age. It takes a unique question twisted up with a theme set in a world with beings who struggle, fail and through dumb luck and fierce will answer the question and find their path. As a fantasy and sci-fi writer you getContinue reading “Lost in the World”
Forever Learning
As an author and writer it is critical that you continue learning and improving your craft. Yes this means that the books you wrote a year ago will not be as good as the books you are writing now. Well, that’s how it should be. We can all learn to be stronger writers, to useContinue reading “Forever Learning”
Taking Your Outline Too Far
Some people outline and some don’t. Neither way is wrong. Some people do both, depending on the book they are writing and how it comes into their head. If you do outline your book before diving into the first draft, make sure your outline stays an outline and doesn’t become so detailed that you feelContinue reading “Taking Your Outline Too Far”

Back Cover Blurb
The little piece of story found on the back of a book is called the back cover blurb, well that’s what we call it anyway. These few sentences have a lot of work to do. Their job is a continuation from the front cover. The front cover shoots out the tractor beam drawing the readerContinue reading “Back Cover Blurb”
Cover Research
The cover of your book is arguably the most important piece of creating your book. I believe the statement “Don’t judge a book by its cover is exactly opposite of what happens.” is now a cliché. I’ve read some rendition of that statement on every blog and heard it in every YouTube video on creatingContinue reading “Cover Research”
