When I’m not writing

What is it, exactly, that I’m supposed to be doing? I get bored. I’m not sure what to do with all that time. I feel that I should immediately start crafting another novel–but what should this one be about? I had such a fabulous time writing from the perspective of my male characters in SP […]

Wild animals are…wild

Not like I’m some animal rights extremist who believes people should starve before they eat meat, but did they really have to pump the tiger full of bullets like she was a character in a Quentin Tarantino film?

More about rejection

I’m a month into my search for a new literary agent and I’m already bored and uninspired by it. Despite encouraging writers to send email queries on agency websites, email is obviously not the way to go if you want a response. (They warn that they might not respond if they aren’t interested, but personally […]

What about self-publishing…?

I hate it when you’re so exhausted all you want to do is sleep, yet you don’t want to go to bed too early because what that actually means is you’re going to work that much sooner. Ugh.
As I wait for agents to get back to me on Fabulous New Novel/Future Bestseller, I’m toying with […]
