This week I had to turn in the first draft of my major research paper for class. I had chosen to write about the changes in the publishing industry, since that is a topic that profoundly interests me as an indie author. But I’m supposed to focus on it from a management perspective, and that … Process and Change and Leadership
Fellow author Justin Bog tagged me earlier today in a writing prompt kind of game. As he describes it: The Look is a writing prompt, a game, another tagging event. This is how U Got “The Look” works: you take your current manuscript, search for the word “look”, and post the surrounding paragraphs. Lastly, you … U Got the Look: Sneak Peek at Encounters
Another week of graduate school under my belt; all assignments turned in before their due dates/deadlines. That is actually starting to feel like a major accomplishment (and a goal worth reporting on), since this week I was assigned a literature review in preparation for the final paper for the course. That meant I wrote close … ROW80 Check-in: Puppy Birthday
It’s the official end of the first week of graduate school for me… Even though I didn’t get to log in to my class until Wednesday evening–when I discovered that was also the deadline for my first assignment. Luckily, the professor was very understanding, and that deadline got pushed until Friday, but it was definitely … ROW80 Check-in: School Trumps Elvis
I had been doing so well. This week, though, I managed less than 1/10th of my goal: Not quite 500 words added to my current WIP. I had plans to get more done yesterday, or even today, but somehow, sleeping won out. Something about going to a friend’s parent’s funeral just saps me–and this summer … ROW80 Check-in: Lazy Days and Mondays
Today I filled out the final forms and submitted the last paperwork to make it official: I start school again next week for the first time in almost 20 years. I’ll be pursuing an MBA in marketing and project management, fields that reflect my career path–but I never thought I’d be the one to add … Tribute: Teachers Who Formed Me
Justin Bog, a good friend from Twitter, is passing out tags these days: This one is to hear about upcoming work to be released… soon. Appropriately, it’s called The Next Big Thing. 🙂 According to Justin, his new book Wake Me Up “is a psychological family drama that centers on a crime and the fallout … The Next Big Thing: Blood to Fire
It’s possible I’m going a little overboard with excitement this week… But I actually managed to finalize the print design AND the blurb, and now my second book is live for purchase online. 🙂 This time I have a nifty 3-D image of what the paperback looks like, too. 🙂 Yes, there was much rejoicing … ROW80 Check-in: Dementional PUBLISHED
Today was the day. It was supposed to have been yesterday, but the night kept getting later, it had already been a long week, and we didn’t want any error creep. So today, I present to you: Dementional. This time, I’m releasing the print and eBook versions at the same time, and Katarr Kanticles Press … Release Day: Dementional
Next milestone complete: I finished ALL my edits and sent the final Word doc to my publisher in preparation for posting the eBook version of Dementional. Now I need to format the print version over the next couple of days. I just went back and found the original list of my goals through October: Participate … ROW80 Check-In: Dementional Publication Coming
