I looked something up about Scrivener this weekend and accidentally found that people are selling Scrivener themes on Etsy. This lead me to look into it and I found that it’s extremely easy to create new themes on Scrivener. So for all you Scrivener users… Go to Preferences>Appearance and you can change just about everything. […]
I always want to do these little character sheets and setting sheets and stuff that I see all these other authors doing. And The first couple of years I actually tried some of them, only to realize that it slowed me way down and did not improve my process. Now I look at things to […]
Since I’m coming back to writing after a bit of a hiatus, I got to wondering if there was anything I could do to up my efficiency. I want to write faster, better, etc. So I pulled out all my old writing books and I thought I’d share some of the really good ones with […]
*This is a post from 2011 from my old blog, but the information is still good and I hope it may be some help to others, so I’ve included it in this blog. Plagiarism. It’s an ugly word and an even uglier act. I know some of you are aware that I was plagiarized a […]

I’ve always exercised off and on, but since August of last year, I’ve exercised regularly. In the past, I always had good […]
I’ve debated for a while now about writing a post and sharing my experience with writer’s block and finally decided it’s time. I know I can’t be the only one to have experienced this and if I can help others through what I dealt with then it makes it all worth it. As you may […]
O—kay… can I just say, revision is hard! I mean like really hard. Then again maybe it’s because the Moon Series stories are my very first books and I have grown tremendously as a writer. I’m honestly thinking it would be easier to scrap the old and write new…Honestly, it would be less aggravating and […]
