Quick post before I go cook dinner for myself and the boyfriend.
book, novel, the two swords

So an hour ago or so, I started to write the blurb for The Two Swords, because I grew tired of staring at a mostly blank screen on it's Goodreads page, and I got something, but it wasn't...all together there.

So I stared at the screen for a long time, gave up, and went to write the actual book - stumped there. I know how I want to start it but apparently my mind doesn't want me to start it...at least not now.

So I'm taking a break from the blurb creation and the book creation (can't write an outline until I have a semi-decent beginning; dunno why that is for me), and I'm going to focus on other things like taking my adorable puppy outside in the snow (again)

and cooking.

Don't let your writing bog you down.

And remember:

Keep your bite.

Well, isn’t that an adorable puppy?
Blurbs can be tricky, but for whatever reason I would much rather write one of them than a pitch line or full synopsis. I guess that middle point is just more natural to me!

Finishing DRACULA: BOOK 6

It’s been quite a while since we last talked, but so much has happened since then.

If you’re not a Patron, you probably aren’t aware of the number of short stories I’ve published on my website and on Patreon, all of which can be purchased or viewed on my website.

That said, I’m looking forward to finishing up THE DARK WORLD series at last and finally moving forward with new stories!

The email was all about her latest blog post where she showcased 15 books by black authors readers should read for Halloween.

This Short Story Has Gripped Me (Here’s a Sneak Peek!)

I just as in JUST NOW started writing the short story THE UNWANTED GUEST, this is that haunted house short story I said I was gonna write like a year ago. I’m finally get around to it. Before this, though, there were three other fairly short in both length and depth stories that I wrote for the month of October to get new readers.

But this one, the haunted house one, it’s different from the jump.
