We all know that there are Intuitive writers and Plotter writers...well....for a long time I considered myself quite the intuitive writer, and would still say that I lean more towards that side of the spectrum.

Including readers! I can't wait to announce the release date, the cover, title, and blurb of book 2 out in the wild and it's so close to being ready to release it almost feels unreal. I know that I am personally very excited to finally get the story out of my head and into the wild. If only I could get the pixelation fixed on the cover image...but that's a problem for later...yeah....later.

But here it is...A Simple List of Indie Author Projects that I want to accomplish this year. In no particular order and only some with dead lines and somethings have to happen first before other things can be released.

While I'm not trying to come across as 2026 is the year I change everything overnight, I have thought about how I want to go about this year as far as my writing career goes. At least for the first quarter of the year anyway....mostly...

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.

Fox, resident chef and member of the Mississippi River Pack, shuts down his Mediterranean style restaurant, Ménta, for an entire week just to make food for the pack, and has way more food on the menu than I do.

So the monthly check in that I started in October and want to continue through the "ber - months." How are they going? Well, I have had three goals before the end of the year, and there is still some time (albeit not very much of it).

Week 4 of my write 10k words in a week challenge is next to non existent as I'm recovering from dental surgery that I had on Monday, after a very busy but very fun family event over the weekend. So why was my self induced challenge still a success for me?

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

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.

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

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.

A special shout out to those who check out my blog, my site, my writing and considering purchasing my re-vamped debut novel.

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

Winter Bound is out in the wild for all the world to read. After taking most of September to finalize the details for the release

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

Every full moon, the moon song calls to the their beast and they change into their wolf. To hunt, and run and play and fight and explore

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
