Backup, backup and I’ll say it again…BACKUP!
I can’t tell you how many writer friends I have who forget or just plain refuse to back up their systems. It’s not that hard and it will save you a lot of headache in the end.
There are CDs, memory cards and flash drives to use for backups. [...]
When writers strive for publication they usually start thinking about agents. My question is do you really need one? I’ve been e-published for over three years now. However, I’ve been looking at trying to write something geared for New York.
I have a finished novel that I believe is ready to go. It’s been sitting [...]
Hey everyone, me again. I’m not going to be a rabble rouser this week (darn) but instead talk about something a little closer to home. Actually in my home (G). I have in my home office, one wall that is dedicated to my covers. Everyone one of my book covers, whether they are short story, [...]

Yes, those words can cover a multitude of topics. Instead of writing, this time I’m talking about being a colon cancer survivor. Yup, that would be me. To date I have been in remission for 2.5 years. Apparently you are not allowed to say you are a survivor till you hit the seven year mark [...]
For every author that makes it to the New York Times Bestseller List there are countless others that suffer in the Land of Rejection. Writing is a hard, sometimes gut-wrenching, battle and it’s not for the fair of heart. Of course, most of us wouldn’t stoop so low as to try this stunt I saw [...]
Some things in life are great. Other things in life just come up and bite you in the rear without warning. Some things just interefere and keep you from writing no matter how much you may want to make your alloted word count for the day. Take my German Shepherd Dog, Spirit, for instance.

This month, it is with Emmanuelle Alspaugh, an agent from the Judith Ehrlich Literary Management, NYC

If you have followed our blog before, then you know I am famous for taking up topics that may have a tendency to irk other people. Well, today is no exception. Over the past few weeks, I have read other blogs, have seen articles and even read emails from people saying how when an error [...]
