"Great advice about thinking about your target audience for placing your books in retail shops. Spas and salons sound perfect for your book. I'll have to spend more time thinking where to place mine."

Writing Mode Level - Frantic

I only wish I'd had this feeling a few weeks ago.  I happens off and on throughout the year.  Moments, hours actually, where I'm in frantic writing mode.  I was there last night.  I wrote until I was delirious.  Until the screen was too bright, and the words that were at first dancing playfully, wandered around like drunken, misguided souls, searching for their car keys, or a friend to take them home. I loved it. It happens only a few times a year. Maybe about once a month.  Normally when I'm…See More

Socia Media ARRGHH!

I'm trying.  I'm really trying to get into the whole social media thing in regards to promoting my book, but it's just not working.  I have a twitter accout, FB page, Goodreads profile, Shelfari too.  Hubpages, and a blog.  My website, Youtube, and this I'm being told is still not enough!  WTF??? I'm only one person.  I have to keep up with all of this and write too?  If I didn't have a 9-5, maybe it would be easier.  Funny thing is, I really enjoy being on FB.  But that's because it's fun. …

Have you ever been here: I'm completely amped up and psyched about writing, but I just can't get into the story I want to get into.  I'm writing about everything else outside of it.  Coming up with great stuff too, that I'm sure I'll use at a later time.  But I just can't wrap my head around the story that actually needs to get done.  So, I'm writing this, when I should be writing that.  It's not writer's block.  It's some other dysfunction. 

Part of it is my self-diagnosed ADD.  I'm…

Baby Steps

Good Morning,

Don't you just love Saturdays?   It's grey outside.  It's not a sad day at all.  I'm working on changing my perspective about life.  I'm constantly working on that.  It's not easy to change your attitude.  I'm taking baby steps.  I've been consciously  working on improving my thoughts since 2008.  And it was in 2008 that I discovered I could draw, due to improving my thoughts.  Used to be, if I didn't get something right the first time, I thought it wasn't for…

Kitty, We're delighted to have you join us in the novelist group! If you haven’t done so already, you might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion. We do a live chat Wednesdays at 1 EST, with instructions on how to participate in the "Our Water Cooler" box near the top of the group page.

I hope you’ll enjoy the group.
