Even though writing a book was always my dream, there are days when being a fulltime author is tough. You are your own boss and you can’t call in sick when deadlines are looming. #ownboss #callinsick #dreamscometrue #writerproblems #amwriting #epicfantasy #swordandsorcery #fantasybooks #heirtothecrown #fantasybookrecs #writingcommunity #writerslife #writinginspiration #bookstagram

It really does happen just like that. I have three more epic fantasy series already planned out, plus a sci-fi series! Just need to write faster! #writerproblems #amwriting #epicfantasy #books #fantasybookrecs #writingcommunity #writerslife #ilovewriting #writingabook

This week's blog post:
A Letter to Christina - Refusing to Self-Sabotage Via Self-Doubt
This was more personal than most of my posts, but I needed to do this in public to hold myself accountable. I will publish next year and refuse to let nonsense pounded into me during childhood stop me from doing so.

Another fascinating read from Marcy Kennedy, who's brilliant, yet so often flies beneath the radar for most people. The post:
Does Talent Matter?
What she discovered, and what she shares, is worth reading.
*This is actually a preview of the email she sends me. You can also check Amazon for her writing guides author's page.

A great post from K.M.Weiland about rediscovering the joys of writing. This is a problem that exists in most writers' past or future. It can come and go.
There's a lot to unpack here and she does it better than I ever could...

This week's blog post:
My Next Writing Transition - Another Step Closer
Is this an update?
Yeah.
Except, no.
This is a tale of persistence. This is about slogging through frustration. It's also about sitting down and working towards the dream when it isn't easy or flashy.
This is about reaching the other side.

That's the topic for this Writers in the Storm post that should be required reading, especially for anyone who's ever suffered from Imposter Syndrome.
Yeah, that's pretty much most writers.

Today is the day! I'm going to virtually rewrite the last chapter for Case of the Mistaken Arrival, which is the denouement. What I had was so bad...the nightmares, they won't stop. 🤣
I spent a lot of time this morning attempting to salvage what I had, chipping away at it bit by bit because deep down I knew almost all of it had to go.
Then...oh and then. My long awaited inspiration! It's perfect. 😃

Sometimes, it sounds so good in my head, but doesn’t always work for the storyline. Still, I have a good laugh while writing it! #amwritingfantasy #fantasybook #fantasybookrecs #writerproblems #writinginspiration #editing #fantasybooks #bookstagram #booktok #writingcommunity #fantasyauthor

I've been offered the chance to try out Apple's new digitally narrated audio program through my publisher. I would still be able to create my own audiobook, but this would serve as a placeholder, in the meantime. Would that be something anyone is interested in? Or should I just wait until I can put one together, myself? There ARE words that the digital pronunciation may get wrong, since there's a fictional language in it, so I'm on the fence.

@sirsean @DocCarms #englishisweird language and it has taken me a long time to tell the difference. There are still some words I don't know the difference of so I avoid them. Then there are words like inflammable and flammable which mean the same thing! #englishlanguage #englishishard English makes absolutely no sense. #writerproblems #writing #writer
