Nope, not doing NaNo this year. Too busy, unfortunately. But I posted a list of some books I truly feel are must-haves for any writer’s library over on the Write Your Ass Off blog. I’ll put up a couple more lists over the next few days. http://writeyourassoff.blogspot.com/2014/11/nanowrimo-must-have-books.html

Dear Newbie Writer: You suck…
. ..HOWEVER…Â http://writeyourassoff.blogspot.com/2014/09/dear-newbie-writer-you-suck.html Also, I’ve made two additions today to the article about the problems at Ellora’s Cave.
Dear Traditional Publishers: It’s literally the nose on your face.
I’m sick and tired. SICK…and…TIRED. People bitching about Amazon (aka the ‘Zon) and their market share. Trad-pubs fighting tooth and nail to keep an archaic and unsustainable business model artifically afloat despite it not being profitable. There’s a REALLY easy fix here, folks: BUILD A BETTER GODDAMNED BUGGY WHIP. MAKE THE NEW WIDGET. This is … Read More
Backup Basics (Or, “WAAAAAH MY DATA IS GONE!”)
At least once or twice a week, I’ll log in to Facebook or Twitter to catch either the original post or replies to same-said post, of a fellow writer (sometimes literally) crying that their manuscript is GONE.

Writer Beware: How to research a publisher.
Silver Publishing’s epic and totally expected implosion this week is a reminder that it’s time for me to do my standard nagging PSA for newbie writers: DO. YOUR. FRAKKING. RESEARCH. BEFORE. YOU. SIGN. Where?
*giggle*
Warning: Don’t piss off the writer. *giggle*
My Writing Process
I was tagged by the talented Trinity Blacio, and I thought it would be fun to participate, so here goes. 1) What am I working on? Right now, edits for Triple Cross (Triple Trouble 8) and edits for Geek Chic (Bleacke Shifters 2). Not sure what the next WIP will be yet, if it’ll be … Read More

I’ve got a post up on Write Your Ass Off about the “self-publishing sh*t volcano,” as Chuck Wendig calls it. http://writeyourassoff.blogspot.com/2014/02/self-pubbing-sht-volcano-yep-sums-it-up.html
Pimp your review site/page/group.
