Blog postWe are heading into summer. What does that mean for you?
Writing more? Less?
For me, it will be more. And SURPRISE! my writing will take on a different shape.
Photo by Frederik Löwer on Unsplash Consider these forgotten secrets:
You don't have to use a computer to write. Enjoy the old-fashioned notebook. Take it with you everywhere! Get out and enjoy the summer weather. I am known to visit my local park.

Blog postIf you're an author like I am, you're probably aware of the book surprises that often come along with having your book listed on Amazon.
Today I noticed I Walked With Jesus is discounted. Yes, this is the paperback! Authors never know in advance when this is going to happen. If you haven't read, "I Walked with Jesus," yet, NOW is the time to get the book NEW for $7.78. Save 40%.

Blog post1. Get up early. Get up and write before you do anything else. That may mean you get up at 5 a.m. and go to bed at 9:30 p.m.
2. Treat your writing as a career instead of a hobby. Call it your morning job.
3. Focus on writing versus editing. Write, write, write for at least half an hour. Whatever comes out. No matter how it comes out.
4. Find a place to write where you will actually write and not be distracted. Prepare the space in advance with the things you n -

Blog postGet the book on Amazon
Published by Idea Creations Press
In the not too distant future, where astronauts are fish and cosmonauts are whales, there exists a space agency by the name of Rockhead Martian who have hired the best space patrol crew in the vast ocean of space. But the space patrol were more than just crew members, they were best friends.
Best friends can conquer anything when they work together. -
Blog postWhat have I learned about launching that first book?
My first book, A River of Stones, was originally published in 2002. I was beyond excited. But there was a problem. I had no idea what to do next. Through trial and error - mostly error, I learned what to do.Get the Book at Amazon
Here's what I wish I'd known: 1. Get a website/blog going at least six months before your book is launched. This gives you some well-needed time to gather a few followers. One year before i -
Blog postIf you're an author like I am, you are always searching for ways to get more readers for your book[s]. The problem, at least for me, is TIME to do that.
I barely have time to write, how in the world will I find time to grow my readership?
Photo by Free Walking Tour Salzburg on Unsplash Here are five things I've done that have produced results.
1. At your next book signing or speaking engagement have readers sign up for your newsletter. Placing the paper on a clip -

Blog postYes, it's been a few days since I last posted. I'm going through this sort of burn-out phase; not burnout from writing, mind you. Just a burnout from my daily job.
Don't get me wrong, I love my job. I work with kids - kindergarten through 2nd grade mostly, and they're great! I get hugs, hi's, and waves when they see me in the hall. I work in small group settings and one-on-one settings for those who really need it.
But after a full day of putting out my best self, let's ju -
Blog postFive powerful strategies that have kept me writing.
1. Get up early. Write. [No excuses!] Your brain is fresher in the morning and less clogged with the duties of the day.
2. Write when you don't feel like it. This includes all other times of the day when you could be writing but don't. I always keep a notebook with me. Record scenes, dialogue, or your next book title at doctors' offices, etc.
3. Don't live on guilt trips. If you don't write one day, sta -

Blog postNo time to read?
You probably have more time than you think.
Here's what you can do to get a little reading time in.
Photo by Ishaq Robin on Unsplash
1. Keep a book in your purse, backpack, or your car's glove compartment. Instead of pulling out your phone during those open moments at the doctor's office, read. Yes, you can also read on your phone but I have found that reading on my phone can quickly turn to other things like game playing, so I try to avoid -

Blog postLine up those ducks!
Photo by Jen Theodore on Unsplash Something happens to authors when they're about to submit their "baby" "masterpiece" or "heart and soul" to a publisher, whether that publisher is of the traditional fare or not.
As a subsidy publisher myself - a publisher who receives money upfront to publish a book and then works at getting the book ready for publishing - I've seen it all.

Blog postJust this morning I was placing my stuffed animal frog on my bed when an idea for a children's picture book 'hopped' into my mind. My first thought was, "This is incredible! I have to write this down before I forget!"
I ran to my computer and wrote the title and the short synopsis that came to me on a sticky note. It is hanging up right here where I sit and write.
Now comes the hard part. I've got to write it.
What should I do first?

Blog postPerhaps a better question would be, why do you write in your books if you do, and why don't you if you don't?
Since I am the former answer to the question, let me take this one first.
I usually highlight and write in the margins of my nonfiction books. This helps me to return to a favorite passage or re-read a favorite thought in the margin. I have written in books for years, even when I was learning to read and would mark out the words I didn't know.
I suppose my mom 'lo -
