I’m BAAAAACK!

12 July 2013 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Two weeks gone! Holy hell. I had absolutely no intention of having my site inaccessible for nearly two whole weeks, but my stupid domain/hosting transfer took a lot longer than I expected. But it’s (mostly) done now, so now I just have to get back to posting regularly. Though I haven’t been posting on this […]

And Now to Finish It

24 June 2013 by Jessica Leave a Comment

I think I just figured out the right way to end my current WIP. It’s not going to be pretty, and it’s so far off the original ending in my outline, it’s ridiculous. But it’s going to be good – surprising, poignant, and and ironic (I hope). Why the ending matters You can have a […]

A Time to Write, and a Time to Edit

13 June 2013 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Quiet on thet Set Book Tour Week 1: Done

1 June 2013 by Jessica Leave a Comment

It’s been kind of a crazy week! Doing a blog tour for my book during the week has been a little tough while I was working. I couldn’t check in as often as I wanted to, so I’m afraid I may have missed some opportunities to connect on that front. Hiccups Also, I haven’t quite […]

How to Live with a Bad Review

9 May 2013 by Jessica Leave a Comment

This one is for the writers. What do you do when you get a bad review? Statistically, it’s bound to happen. You can’t please everybody, but that doesn’t make it any less painful when it happens. Sticks and Stones I haven’t had that many reviews at all, so when I get a bad one, it […]
