So naturally, I have a Spotify profile so I can have a playlist for my books, characters and the Mississippi River pack in general. I have always enjoyed working while listening to music, and I know that this isn't a brand new concept for authors, but it's still very fun.

I have started a fairly good writing routine as the weather is getting much cooler (finally) and at the cost of my allergies. I swear I never had allergies when I was a kid but when I started living on my own it's like they kicked into full gear.

Why is it that our writing plans go array? My goal was 10,000 words a week for 4 weeks (month of October) but alas here we are, another 3k-ish short of my goal at 7,828. But does that mean I failed so far? Or does it mean that I just have to rethink about how to approach my goal? Rethinking my goal it is because October is not done yet. So as explained earlier, 10,000 works for 4 weeks in October. This would be about 2,000 words for 5 out of 7 days. However some days are bett

I am not in favor of someone generating AI and then claiming it's their own original work,

Pumpkin spice lattes, apples, wheat stalks, maple leaves, college football, bonfires, the lower frequency of crickets, and an all around more woodsy feel for me overall.

While nothing is ever guaranteed, I am hoping to get a pretty polished draft of Book 2 established by the end of the year, maybe even GASP a release date?! But to make that happen, I will need to do a few things.

With the unintentional symbiotical I took over the summer to look for a new full time job and focus on my writing, one would think that I am refreshed and motivated to "get back at it" or "hit the ground running" or even dare I say "relax." None of that happened.

Obviously I have a lot to write about but sometimes there are things that get in the way of my writing time, like the day job, or looking for a new job, or deep cleaning and decluttering my apartment. But here are somethings that I'm trying to do to keep with with what I want to accomplish.

Thats right! I have the next book in the Mississippi River Pack series, staring Nada, Zikie, the Mississippi River pack and a few new characters!

I reveal in Book 2 that there is a lot a green house in near the back of the Mississippi Wolf Pack manor. That is of course inspired by my own dream garden. As I live in a "city town" - my container garden will have to do.

Hot in the since of weather of course, but also in the since of will my books ever be noticed? Will I ever find a community? Enter the idea of Patreon.

I'm not sure if the second part is true but it is defiantly an end of an era.

Why is everyone jumping ship? And are they really or does it just seem like so?

However some just don't just have that same 'wow' that the original challenge had......Enter The Rough Draft Challenge...

2025 is here and I hope that you are as excited as I am about the new energy and fresh start magic that the New Year season seems to bring.

I'm sure that most of us in the indie author world have heard what the official Nation Novel Writing Month (NNWM) has been up to lately

There are a million ways that indie authors have set up their ideal routine. And they even are able to follow through everyday. I am not one

I know that I should be talking about Winter Bound and the upcoming release date on September 24th, (41 days at the time of this post), BUT

So after not being able to pick a topic that I could do right now this will just be little random tid bits of the week.

It's exactly what this title says, I'll be talking about why I delayed the re-release date for Winter Bound.
