Love in Any Language starts with a battle scene. My husband Gregg, who is my editor, is former Special Forces and retired after serving in the military for 30 years. I knew he could “fix” anything I didn’t write correctly in the story. But, apparently, the battle scene I wrote in my head and never “saw” visually didn’t make any sense AT.ALL to someone who knew what it should be like.
So, he dug through our boys’ boxes of LEGOs and created a visual for me. 😂
Hello! Welcome to Monday Morning Coffee and Chat! Today I’m answering the question, “Will you ever write the Suarez brothers?”
Hello! Welcome to Monday morning coffee and chat! Today I’m answering the question, “What do you like about writers conferences?”
Welcome to day 10 of my Twelve Days of Christmas giveaway! Today is for the writers among us. I’m giving away Susan May Warren’s My Brilliant Writing Planner (a planner that speaks to my planner junkie soul), and a paperback of the book, Writing from the Trenches, a project for which I was so very proud to be a part!
I’m talking about authors who feel like no one will read their books if they’re priced higher than $0.99 or $1.99. They don’t think they’re “worth” that because they’re self-published. The problem with that business model is that it’s training readers to expect to not have to pay for books – books that cost money to produce, that take time and energy like nothing you’ve ever experienced before – books that have value.
I go through a keyboard about once a year. I’ve bought really expensive keyboards and really cheap ones. It doesn’t seem to matter what I pay for them – they wear out, or a certain key loses its sensitivity to my touch, or whatever happens that makes it a stumbling point for me in writing.
