When I started publishing, I focused on blogging more than sending newsletters, social media, or even ads. Since having my second kid and moving into a new home, it's been more difficult to make time for blogging on top of work and writing. But with the new year I'm back again, hoping to dive back fully into my first online social love. Meanwhile, enjoy a peek into (and maybe even pre-order...) Bound Beauty today. Please keep in mind, this teaser will be most appreciated if you've read Craving and Scarred (or don't mind spoilers). Now that you've been duly warned, let's return to Wylderland...
Confessions of a Storytelling Snob
The past couple of decades have seen some great films and shows, no doubt. But it's also seen a rise in increasingly formulaic and quickly produced content. We're getting more and more of the same, and less and less variety and (in my opinion) creative freedom.
Navigating Imposter Syndrome
I wish I had all the answers for you, that this could be the fix you need to hear to help with your own struggles. But I hope you're at least encouraged in knowing you aren't alone. Many people, even more successful people than me, can't quite shake the whispers of "not enough." Instead of accepting and dwelling on that voice, I encourage you today to use those words as a challenge to yourself. Take the drive and the sense of "not enough" to do even better with your next project. Sometimes I wonder if that's not simply the voice all creative artists hear. That even the great masters of their craft are never fully satisfied, but that is what pushes them to keep creating.
Weekly Writerly Witterings ~ Be Kind to Yourself
So I am taking a moment to blog about writing, since it's been a while and I felt you deserved a meaty post after a week of radio silence. Seriously though, I am aware the world does not stop because I don't post on my blog. I'm just one author in a sea of them. If you read the post I shared recently, you know how I feel about the changes in the self-publishing industry. I feel like some of us get lucky and are able to rise above the rest. But most of us struggle for the sake of the craft (though money really would be nice). I write because I love telling stories and I love a good challenge.
