Obligatory "About the Blog" Post

Uncategorized 2 Comments »

I’ve recently discovered Twitter. It’s an excellent resource to reach out and meet new people, but honestly as a writer I can’t fit what I have to say in such a tiny box. So, I decided to create a wordpress blog for the more wordy days.

I have a lot going on in my personal and writing life.

I am self-publishing my debut novel Inked. It releases on 10/20/09. It has been a very interesting, frustrating and rewarding process. I have a lot to say about the self-publishing business, as well as the ups and downs of writing, editing, revising, editing again and revising for the billionth time before settling on a final product I was confident enough in to publish.

NaNoWrimo is going to start in less than 30 days, and for the past 3 years I have been a Municipal Liaison for the Seattle area. I moved to Atlanta, GA in September and will be traveling home to volunteer again this year.  NaNo is such an interesting experience. It’s truly about the people to me, more than the deadline at this point. I’ve reached the 50,000 word-in-a-month goal 4 times now, and I feel I could do it over and over again, but it’s honestly the people I  met at the write-ins that make it worth it. If it’s something you’re contemplating, or would like help with feel free to contact me I have a lot of hints and tricks.

  • Quotes

    The worst drugs are as bad as anybody's told you. It's just a dumb trip, which I can't condemn people if they get into it, because one gets into it for one's own personal, social, emotional reasons. It's something to be avoided if one can help it.
    - John Lennon -
