Today is the Release Day for THE ARROWS OF THE HEART! So, I talk about that, with thanks to the early reviewers for getting stuff up on Amazon so fast! I also talk a bit about spoilers and why America's Sweethearts isn't a better movie.

The Myth of the Debut Year

Our topic at the SFF Seven this week is “If I could go back to my Debut Year…” You can tell I didn’t suggest this one because I don’t believe in the “Debut Year.”

See, the “Debut Year” is a bit of magical, sparkle-pony mythology of Author Land. Come on over to find out more.

A bit of cat wrangling due to a jailbreak today, along with thoughts on copyediting, preparing a book for publication, and a bit more on 1st person POV, because I can't let it go.

Talking today about 3rd vs 1st person POV and why asking readers which they prefer won't work. Also a bit about Rebecca Solnit and mansplaining. I've received copy edits of THE ARROWS OF THE HEART so we're looking good for launch, Houston!

Musing today on how the way to prevent jealousy is to avoid comparisons - and put that energy into your own work. Keeping your eyes on your own work is also about owning your process and learning to appreciate how YOU create. I have the scoop on how to pronounce "Gilene" from Grace Draven's PHOENIX UNBOUND. And Happy Release Day to Jennifer Estep for KILL THE QUEEN!

October 1 is a bad luck day in my family, so I'm talking a bit about that. Also about meeting with writers Jim Sorenson and Sage Walker. (Her book is The Man in the Tree!) and getting little chores done like sending books off to the cover models that posed for them.

Always Wanted to Write a Book? Do Tell!

So, you’ve always wanted to write a book? Isabel is at her leisure to listen.

Me? Well, that depends. 

Don’t get me wrong – I’m willing to help aspiring authors. I mentor through several organizations and do my best to be generous with helping people looking to build careers as writers. 

The problem comes in when people are only talking and not wanting to do the work. That’s why this week’s topic at the SFF Seven is phrased the way it is: What do you want to tell someone who says ‘I always wanted to write a book’?

Come on over to hear those things I never say out loud.

Talking today about 1st person POV and keeping track of which characters knew what and when - and how that's just as confusing as it sounds. Also thoughts on Canadian Thanksgiving vs. US, The Wife by Meg Wolitzer, and weekend plans.
