Writing Round Up: January 2019 (or the month of a zillion days)
There’s something about six weeks of really shitty mental health (three cheers for being passively suicidal, oh wait, we’re too depressed to cheer…. /snark) that really kills the writing mojo. I thought I had it together. I really did. And then the...Writing Resource: A Safety Net
Disclaimer: This post talks about serious mental health issues. I’m posting here because as a chronic illness/mental health advocate I believe in being real, honest, and transparent. If you are experiencing a crisis such as the one I mention in this post and do...Sneak Peek Into Treble Security (New Series)
I had an absolute blast writing for the Brotherhood Protectors world last year–so much so that I’ve got new books planned for this year! (Check out the boxed set of all my BHP world books that just came out.) In planning this new series, I realized I...On the Idea of a “Minimally Viable Product” (Thursday Thoughts)

When I wrote Cowboy Up, I...A Place To Be Real (Writing Resource Formation Call For Helpers)
There used to be a weekly confession series on a Facebook page I followed. (They ended it with this past week’s confessions.) One of the posts that really hit me hard was a confession where the author said they felt alone. They didn’t have anyone to talk...Still Striving For Inbox Zero (and Author Newsletter Impacts)
Inbox zero. It sounds like the title of a cyber thriller novel or maybe the origin point of some kind of virus. What it really means is the concept of getting your inbox down to zero emails. I’ll pause here while you, like most people, laugh at the idea....My best writing resource? Time Management
I live and die by my to do lists. When I was caring for a family member those lists kept me on track with doctor appointments, medicine, and routines. Next to my to do lists, my routines, are what keep me going. And this is how I can write at least 3000 words a day....A Shout Out To The Authors Without A “Tribe”
For today’s “Thursday Thoughts,” I just want to give a shout out to the authors without a tribe. The ones who don’t have people share their books on social media, the ones who toil away, reading in groups and wonder if they’re alone or if...QueerRomance Ink
