First Cup of Coffee – August 13, 2018

This is my attempt to get a photo of the fairy ring of cholla the pack rat deposits around my table in the grape arbor. You might have to zoom in.

Today I'm talking about plans to ask for blurbs for THE ORCHID THRONE - and how it's different than with my very first book back in 2004. (Wyoming Trucks, True Love, and the Weather Channel) Also talking about how being a professional writer is like rising through skill levels in a game, how each new level has its challenges and rewards.

Fish or Cut Bait?

I’m in Denver for the #RWA18 National Conference. I think this sculpture of the dancing ladies is particularly appropriate.

This week’s topic at the SFF Seven is Why do you abandon a project? What would make you (or let you) finish it? Come on over to read more! Also, a new podcast episode below: First Cup of Coffee – July 15, 2018.

How to Know When to Give Up

Can’t believe it’s already time! But the Coastal Magic Convention is only a few weeks away and January 15 is the last day to register. I love this convention and there’s going to be tons of great authors, bloggers and readers there – so if you can wrangle it, you should totally join us. Great panels, terrific interactions and it’s right on the beach. SO fun!
 

So, this week’s topic over at Word Whores is: It’s dead, Jim – how to know when a project isn’t working vs when its fixable.

I’m telling a couple of stories about knowing when to give up.
