    Same world, different story?

    The one grain of advice that I've found to be true is to stick to one pen name per genre. Besides that, you should write what you like but also keep the storytelling formula in mind. The formula you use will depend on the genre you're writing. In all, to keep readers in mind. We all expect a...

    Kindle Unlimited - good or bad for self-pub authors?

    Honestly, there's nothing wrong with trying KU and seeing how it goes. You will need to give it time as publishing is a long game. Then there's wide. Nothing wrong with trying that either. I've done both and prefer wide. That's when I started making the royalties that help my finances each...

    The Dreaded Omniscient Voice... I think.

    Hello, nice to meet you. I write in omniscient. I also write in 3rd pov but omniscient is my favorite. My 2 cents: if that is the perspective and style that allows you to create your work freely from start to finish, then use it. Writing a book is hard. You want to have a process that includes...

    NaNoWriMo 2021

    Sometimes that happens. One would think that being a writer you write everyday and that's the goal but not always realistic. Good luck on your launch.

    NaNoWriMo 2021

    How to simplify a complicated plot

    My 2 cents: plot shouldn't be complicated. It should be straight forward and clear enough to give you a path from start to finish. What should be complex are your characters.

    NaNoWriMo 2020 Wordcounts

    The point of NaNo is to count your words/write every day. I am writing all the time...wrote until 1am last night but failed to count my words so I have no idea where I'm at.

    Totally forgot about this. It's day two and I'm undecided....been a long year of burnout.

    High word count expectation is not fair!

    Eh. Your story need only be as long as it wants to be. Not every story in your head will be a long one.
