Creaking back into the working schedule and talking about more about habit and routine - and how those fit into the creative life, or anything we try to do. I also talk about obsessiveness and why we need that, ponderous prologues, and three strikes that let me bail on a book. I also rant a bit about banishing the trope that with the loss of tech, human societies revert to male domination.

Welcome to 2019! I'm talking about how time off lets us rebuild - or form - habits with mindfulness. Also some about my preparations for the new year and maybe a bit too much information on how crunching financials on self-published projects works. The blog post I reference is Rejuvenation and Goal-Setting

Rejuvenation and Goal-Setting

The pattern of frost-filigreed wisteria vines is so lovely. The winter holidays are such a great season for rest and rejuvenation – and our weather in the high desert of New Mexico has obliged with lots of snow and freezing temperatures. All the better to keep me cozied indoors and focusing on both relaxing and giving my mind the room to mull thoughts for the coming year. A big part of that is going to be reducing back log and lists. Come on over for more.

A Fab Year Ahead for SFF Romance!

Our topic at the SFF Seven this week is books we’re looking forward to in 2019. 

Can I just say ALL OF THEM???

Okay, I’ll try to hone it down to a few. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that the final book in my Chronicles of Dasnaria trilogyWARRIOR OF THE WORLD, will be out January 8. A fine way to kick off 2019! Come on over for more.

On working through the rough periods in writing a book, setting stretch goals, and learning to value failures as much as successes. Also tips on learning three-act structure by watching favorite movies and timing the beats. And tiny rant on THAT guy who thinks it's funny to joke about my name.

How to figure the beats and three-act-structure for the overall arc of a series, particularly one set up as more of a serial. And yes, this is about Sorcerous Moons Book #5, officially now ORIA'S ENCHANTMENT.
