First Cup of Coffee – October 20, 2023

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog, Podcast

First Cup of Coffee – October 13, 2023

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog, Podcast

Yes, I saw the Taylor Swift concert movie last night! Loved. Thoughts on TS and voice. Also, a trick for coping with those inertia-filled tasks that forever slide down the To Do List and remembering we’re not being graded.

First Cup of Coffee – October 9, 2023

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog, Podcast

An important trick I’ve discovered to improve my focus, a bit of a rant on boy fantasy and the trope of soldier, priest, scholar, and female. Followed by a waxing on of how much I love WandaVision!

First Cup of Coffee – October 6, 2023

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog, Podcast

My strong – possibly unpopular – opinions on people out there selling classes, advice, and coaching to authors. How writing isn’t always fun when it’s your actual job. And happy news on the flip side of piracy.

First Cup of Coffee – September 29, 2023

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog, Podcast

Thoughts today on focus, how to rebuild concentration, and the alarming truth that every interruption costs us 23 minutes of time to regain previous focus. Also more data on trad publishers buying mostly full manuscripts.

A slight divergence into thoughts on fashion and how the pandemic affected that. Also, being a hedonist. More on topic: why do book sales vary so much by platform? Some books sell only on certain retailers and I don’t know why.

I’m talking about author finances today and the challenge of a variable income – particularly if you don’t have a salaried spouse – and how that works out for predicting taxes. Also why I don’t think advertising is the be all and end all for Indies.
