I need a lot of sleep after this month. I've started a new job, I've started a new project, I've approved edits and have sent books out for proofing, I've done lots of other things. I've also let go of a lot of things I just can't sustain. I've collapsed projects,...
blogging from A-Z 2014
Y is for Yes
So, I'm working on the most important things right now. But I'm saying 'yes' to a couple of things. Yes is for 'yes, I'm writing'. Y is for 'Yes, I finished CampNanowrimo'. And Yes is for there will be regular content on my blog from now on, more than once a week,...
X for Xciting changes (yeah, I’m cheating)
So, now that I'm in amazing new job of doom(tm), I've decided that I'm going to start doing two things again. Well... three actually. One is painting minis and models and scenery and dioramas and *stuff*. I really miss that hobby aspect of my life and I'm kinda...

U for unbelievably close #AtoZchallenge
I get to share some *really big news* tomorrow. I mean, groundbreaking. Well, for me at least. Until then, I thought that I'd share a couple of other bits of housekeeping news... I'm going to be announcing my revised publishing schedule for all of my short stories...

t is for time that I don’t have
One of the more painful realisations I've hit recently is that I am very, very scattered. It's charming and sweet when you're a teen, and great when you're an agile freelancer, but as time has passed, all I realise is that I like freelancing....on my own terms. Not...

S is for stupidly busy #AtoZchallenge
Yeah, yesterday was 'really knackered'. Today, the word of the day is stupidly-busy (all one word, conjoined, dragging me along behind it!). I wish I could say why, but it's all coming together now so I'll get to say something soon(ish). Until then. What to do when...

R is for really knackered #AtoZChallenge
Really short one today. I'm so tired it's unreal. I thought having Easter off might help, but nope. So, I'm going to share a couple of things. Really tired means really easy to miss opportunities One of the major things I'd like to highlight is that if you're really...

Q is for Quick Tips and questions/answers #AtoZchallenge
I thought today, I'd give you a couple of more quick tips, and keep with the lighter, shorter posts. I know it's unlikely stuff will ever be the epic length of my cover design post, but there's a couple of other tips that aren't big enough for a post of their own,...

P for promotion #AtoZchallenge
A lot of the questions I've been getting in private about what I'm talking about this month is why I'm not sharing my own stuff. One of the things I can't share quite yet is work, but I'll be sharing that later in the month. In the interim though, I thought I'd...
