iPad notes and comparisons (part 3)
Okay, I’ve been tooling around the iPad App store and found some gems I’m going to be trying out and reporting back on. Keep in mind I’m reviewing this gadget from the perspective of a professional writer first, reader second,
iPad notes and comparisons (part 2)
Okay I did some research and found this app for the iPad called BlogPress and I’m obviously experimenting with it now. It was $3 I think. You can also use it for Facebook and Twitter posts and a couple of
iPad notes and comparisons (part 1)
I’ve been playing with my new toy, our 32g iPad. We have the one that’s Wi-Fi only, because at home we have a wireless router. Some notes – if you’re like me and want to sync your Google contacts and
New toy!!
Happy anniversary to us, we are now the proud owners of a 32g iPad. I’m working on a comparison to it versus my small Toshiba laptop, Kindle, nook, and Sony reader.
Shiny New Cover!
I meant to share this a while ago, but this is the cover for my soon-to-be-released “Acquainted With the Night” (Siren-BookStrand, writing as Tymber Dalton).
Writer Beware – Contests
Well, making the rounds are advertisements for a new e-book “contest.” They claim to be the “only awards program in the world” for digital publishing. Let’s start off by blowing that claim out of the water. The EPIC contest (for
Strum…strum…strum…wait. Pluck…strum…damn.
Well, can you tell I’m taking guitar lessons? I don’t know if that makes me a masochist, sadist, or both. Fingers hurt like hell (that line in “Summer of ’69” takes on a whole new personal meaning now) but I’m
FAQ: When will you write more Triple Trouble books?
🙂 I love having this “problem.” (No, I don’t consider it a problem. *LOL*!) One of the most common questions I’m getting is, “When will you write the next Triple Trouble book? I’m working on it! *LOL* Here’s the deal
Writing How-To: Realistic Dialog, Pt. 1
I’m not trying to say I’m da shizzle when it comes to writing dialog (yes, dialog is an acceptable spelling of dialogue). But I’ve been complimented enough on my realistic dialog that I decided it should be a blog post
Writing How-To: Bleeding red ink.
Being a writer means editing is a part of life. It boggles my mind when I hear newbie writers who haven’t even been published, or who have only published one or two small articles or short-stories, whine about the editing
Glass half-full.
Well, a follow-up appointment to the doctor gave some good news, some troubling, but overall not bad. One test we all suspected would be positive turned out negative (good), and the biopsy turned out to show “pre-cancer.” Which is terrifying,
Six little words.
There are few phrases that can strike terror into a woman’s heart faster than the six little words: “Your pap smear came back abnormal.” I have raised a child with spina bifida. For the past fifteen years, I’ll be honest,
Safe Harbor in print and random notes.
A few random notes today… I’ve got a new print release! “Safe Harbor” is now available in print. http://www.amazon.com/Harbor-Siren-Publishing-Menage-Amour/dp/1606016652 And, yes, I’m working on Triple Trouble 4. *LOL* But first I’m going to finish the bridge book that merges “Steam”
Writing How-To: Beware the alien space bats!
Short one for you today. I’ve been sick, but didn’t want you to think I died. Sometimes writers use plot devices without realizing they’re using them. This can produce results good and bad. Most writers are aware of the Deus
