This year I will attempt to participate in NaPoWriMo. "NaPoWriMo, or National Poetry Writing Month, is an annual project in which participating poets attempt to write a poem a day for the month of April." I stole that directly from the About page on their website...simple and concise. You can write any kind of poems,… Continue reading NaPoWriMo

EBOOK RELEASE DAY
It's aliiiiivvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Well, the digital version is anyway. Long story short, I am having technical difficulties with CreateSpace, who keeps rejecting my interior file. I was able to order one proof copy, found a pretty big formatting issue, and haven't been able to pass the updated file through the CS review system since. I've been… Continue reading EBOOK RELEASE DAY
WIPpet Wednesday: I’ve Got Nothin’
I think the title of this post is pretty self-explanatory. I have nothing new for WIPpet Wednesday because I have written nothing new on any of my WIPs. Haha. I’m so productive. Anywho, in keeping with the spirit of one of my 2015 goals (be more bloggy) I figured I’d use this space for some… Continue reading WIPpet Wednesday: I’ve Got Nothin’
EVENLIGHT Released! The Meratis Trilogy Wraps Up
Look at those covers!
Goal Setting (Or, Stuff Jessica Fails Miserably At)
I’m not ready for today to be the last day of 2014; honestly, I don’t know how the year disappeared so fast. But, since tomorrow will begin a new year, I figured a little introspection was in order. I don’t normally like to make a big hubbub about New Year’s resolutions, mainly because I don’t… Continue reading Goal Setting (Or, Stuff Jessica Fails Miserably At)
On Writers and Reviews
As the release date for Stones creeps ever closer, I find myself growing ever more anxious. The cover is out in the world, with my name on it and guys…I’m kind of freaking out. I think I’ve officially entered the “What in the name of fluffy unicorns have I done?” phase of publishing. Has anyone… Continue reading On Writers and Reviews
Stones and Finger Bones: The Cover
Huzzah! I've been sitting on this baby since May...so I'm not going to beleaguer this post with a bunch of extra words. I just want to say that Ravven is a fantastically talented artist, and an absolute pleasure to work with! I first discovered her a couple years ago, and my immediate reaction was "Wow, if… Continue reading Stones and Finger Bones: The Cover
Setbacks
Newsflash: I've grossly underestimated the time it would take me to get Stones and Finger Bones ready to send out into the world. Anyone surprised? No? I'm definitely not. Ugh. The good news is that I have a delicious brunch scheduled for Sunday to meet with my final reader to gather up her thoughts and… Continue reading Setbacks
WIPpet Wednesday: Back Again
Greetings minions! So if you were following me back when I was still I before E, you may remember that I participated in a weekly party/gathering/hop of lovely Wippeteers posting snippets of their works-in-progress that somehow relate to the day's date. I've been trying to jump back in for a while now, but life has… Continue reading WIPpet Wednesday: Back Again
Adventures in Writing Back Cover Copy
One of the many perks of being an Indie author is having complete creative control over all design, promotional, and marketing elements of your work. Unfortunately, this also means being responsible for writing back cover copy (or BCC if you're hip to the lingo). BCC is exactly what it sounds like: the text that goes… Continue reading Adventures in Writing Back Cover Copy
