    10 Ways to be Successful: Hacking It

    March 21, 2019 / No Comments

    I thought I would throw out some of my thoughts today about how you become good at something, and how you become successful with it, because I’m not sure everyone out there understands this. I often get a lot of email from people wanting to become good at magick, or writing, or some other skill, but they don’t know how…

    Planning All the Things

    November 8, 2018 / 2 Comments

    I have a confession to make. I’m a bit of a planning junkie. I’m not always as meticulous with my planning as I should be, but when I am, I’m far more productive. I started to get back into my meticulous planning habit this past September when I discovered my life felt like it was sliding off the rails with…

    Preliminary August #DoMagick

    July 27, 2018 / No Comments

    I have finally figured out what I’m doing for my August #DoMagick Challenge.  The topic for the month is summoning. As you likely know, Daemonolaters don’t like, or use, the word summon on principle alone. You summon a servant or something that you control in some way.  Perhaps it is silly semantic nonsense, but it did give me a new…

    Author Events and How to Manage #random

    June 20, 2018 / No Comments

    A friend of mine recently came to me asking for advice about attending an upcoming con. She wanted to know what authors (and other types of exhibitors) should do (and should not do) to make a con successful. She enjoyed my response so much she said I should post a blog that might help other authors. So, that said, here…

    More Author Mistakes #authorsbehavingbadly #marketingmistakes #cockygate

    May 4, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Ouch! Just when I think I’ve seen all the crazy, bad marketing mistakes out there – along comes another one.  These are gold to me. I’m actually teaching a workshop at a writer’s conference in September about cultivating the online writer persona — and THIS will be one of those situations that serves as a bad example of what authors…

    Days 1-6 : A Rough Start #DoMagick

    February 6, 2018 / No Comments

    I have been focusing on trying to keep my stress levels down this month just because I know how bad January was. This month could be worse since by the end of it, we should be moving all the other departments into the new office.  Admittedly I have not been doing so well stress-wise. I have knots in the muscles…

    Truths About Self-Publishing #writing #indieauthor

    January 7, 2018 / No Comments

    I recently had the unfortunate opportunity to run across another “old timer” who is under the erroneous assumption that traditionally published = better authors and better quality books. This antiquated idea is still perpetuated by those who make their living, somehow, through the big-five, or other large presses. They’ve likely been told by a publisher representative, agent, old-school author, or…

    When Networking Starts Impeding Progress

    October 22, 2017 / No Comments

    My key phrase for the last month has been: Writing the next book is a writer’s first priority. This weekend, while at lunch with a fellow writing friend, we talked about volunteering for writing associations at which time she let it slip that she was involved in three other writing groups aside from the one we were both in.  At…

    Biggest Writing Regret – #amwriting #writingadvice

    May 4, 2017 / No Comments

    I was talking to a fellow writer earlier today about what a long journey it can be to publication, and how we have to keep going even when things get tough, and it feels like building an audience for your work is impossible. Especially for indies and small press authors who have very little to no publisher marketing support. This led…

    The Year End Update #writinglife #amwriting #amediting

    December 19, 2016 / No Comments

    It’s that time of year again – where I let my readers know where I’m at and how ambitious I’m feeling for the next year. If you’ve been following for some time you know that my ambition is always bigger than there are days in the year, and hours in those days. What can I say?  When I dream, I…
