My Patreon is for two types of people. 1. Do you believe in my dream? If you've been following me awhile, maybe you've bought in wholeheartedly to what I'm doing. Maybe when you say you believe in me, you actually believe in me. If that's you: Do you believe in my dream, like that my… Continue reading Creative coaching for just $2/month
Although, let's be real: Ksenia and I don't plan on actually growing up in our writerly lives. It's more like staying daydreaming children forever, but then pretending to be grown-up long enough to do the business stuff. I don’t remember how I discovered Ksenia. But I do remember what stuck in my mind about her:… Continue reading Why I wanna be like Ksenia Anske when I writerly grow up
Last week I shared my top 10 books and their commonalities. Now you get to see the top 3 elements that are in more than half of my favorite books. *Props to Maggie Schoepke guessing there's a supernatural element in my fav books.

She started by urging writers not to diss Amazon while promoting used bookstores, since Amazon actually pays authors and used bookstores do not. She then… Continue reading Huffington Post Isn’t the Only Problem

Or maybe you have a writer friend and give them an idea to add to the story then ask how much of the profits they'll give… Continue reading Why Writers Won’t Pay for Your Idea
I'm not sure how this happened. Adele's song "Hello" just went down to #2 on the Billboard chart, beat out of the #1 slot by Justin Bieber's "Sorry."
