The free promo day was an interesting experience, but it’s clear that I have a long way to go when it comes to exposure for Seals. I didn’t spend any money on marketing, just used that which were available to me like this blog, Twitter, and Facebook. I… View Post

A Plot Reveal of Sorts

“Remember, whatever discipline you’re in, whether you’re a musician or a...”
– – Neil Gaiman (via acatnamedfish)
I remember watching the speech and how it inspired me, the type of inspiration that excites you, and I remember showing my wife, and she loved it, but I think watching me absorb Gaiman’s words entertained her more. That they made it into a book came as no...

Finding Your Writing Voice By Writing For Your Twin: #amwriting #writetip #Reader #Writer
I received this article by Chip MacGregor in my email earlier today and it piqued my interest. In the past I’ve often wondered about my writing voice and I’ve concluded that it is something that happens naturally. I don’t think it can be forced. I suppose…
