About being a morning person (or not) and why I write in the mornings. Also thoughts on keeping in contact with each other during these difficult times and not bean-counting in relationships.

Why I don't believe that FOMO is real - or that the feeling might be, but the actuality of missing out isn't - and other thoughts on Taoism, the flow of the universe and the nature of opportunity.

Why being a sensitive person is a good thing - something I've only recently begun to appreciate - and how empathy and compassion makes us better writers, besides being something the world needs.

If you're interested in reading my essay Of Swallows, Snakes, and Science in my book Wyoming Trucks, True Love and the Weather Channel, you can find it here (https://jeffekennedy.com/wyoming-trucks-true-love-and-the-weather-channel)

We're doing some exciting (for us) landscaping work. I'm also chatting about more egregious editing fouls and how self-publishing authors should be careful of predatory practices.

How I Gave Myself a Fire Lizard

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog
Our topic at the SFF Seven this week is the item from your books you most want to own and why. In mulling this topic, I’ve come to an interesting realization: I rarely have interesting “items” in my books. But let me tell you what I *do* have and long for! Come on over.

I'm discussing destructive assumptions about romance, why I hate the term "transcending genre," and I'm telling a story getting our flu shots at the drive-in clinic and how brilliantly orchestrated it was.

This is the blog post I mention (https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2020/10/04/nitpicking-when-editing-goes-horribly-wrong/).

Nitpicking: When Editing Goes Horribly Wrong

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog

I’m sending a shoutout to my bestie Grace Draven this week, celebrating the long-anticipated release of THE IPPOS KING on Tuesday, October 6, 2020. I read an early copy and this book is amazing and wonderful and totally worth the wait. (I know her website still says September, but it really comes out Tuesday!) (Also, Grace might be a dear friend, but she became my friend because I read and loved her books. So, I’m biased, but in the best possible way. This is really is a wonderful book!)

Our topic at the SFF Seven this week is  Nitpicking – venting about things or thinking about the value of attention to detail.

I want to tell you all a story about proofreading gone horribly wrong.
