Day 6: After Dark Write-umentary

Day 5: After Dark Write-umentary
Boo hiss. Haven’t written a single word today. Thought about it. Got distracted. Suck is life for a Monday. Back on target tomorrow … I promise … 🙂
The best three words ever from a beta reader …
I completely, totally and absolutely understand that it’s hard to give others feedback. It is. It just is. Especially to writers. Who wants to say ‘your story sucks’ or ‘I loved it’ without being able to give details? And who wants to say that when …

A Merry THANK-YOU to my friends …
Many people talk about how writing is a very personal, individual and isolated activity. It keeps them rooted to a laptop, in a world created on their own. A place without the input or camaraderie that comes with team sports or even working in a …
My first trilogy with sequels
