Ebook Series: PDF fun

info about your PDF is coming but first… It has been said that a writer should own their own content. That means you should have it residing on YOUR own machine, not a server somewhere in the ether. The reason being that if you don’t own your own stuff, that other place could go out of business and you could lose your data. This has happened to me. The chances of it happening to a behemoth like Amazon is slight, however. But it COULD technically happen. So, having said that, I am going to tout the prospect of putting your

Blogging for Writers 101: Make it good

Writers are still blogging. There is no question about it. Many other career-minded individuals have fled the blogosphere, but not writers.

The best thing I’ve written this week…

…started out like this : “This is a story about redemption. Not about a soul, or goods, but about a mother who wants to find her daughter.” Isn’t that cool? The whole piece is the best thing I’ve written in a long while. It’s action-packed, kickass heroine, and ooey gooey fun. Can’t you see the trailer already? If this thing makes it to completion, the trailer will rock hard. And then I totally have been procrastinating ever since.Sometimes I need to watch a girly movie with girly subjects. Usually, I go with 90210 or Gossip Girl, or something funny like
