#writers
I feel so called out right now…
Gotta be greater than the haters, friends.
Sorry I’ve been so MIA! (There’s been some crazy awesome stuff going on.)
Sorry it’s been so long! There’s been a ton of awesome and amazing things going on in my life.
On the writing front, I’m now a regular writer for Medium — which has resulted in a *major* boost to my writing income. (*If you’re a writer who is not writing on Medium, I don’t know what you’re doing.*)
On the *other* professional front, we’ve finally released our drag event app — @dragr — and are over the moon with the reception it’s receiving in the community.
Hope you’re all doing well and getting down to all the writing. The world needs your story, so don’t give up

Pulling that bait-and-switch on your betas like:
Thinking of hiring an editor…?
You’ve done it. You’ve come to the end of the road on your first draft or last round of revisions. Where do you go next?
“A professional editor!” many will scream.
But do you really need a professional editor to score that dream publishing contract?

These are a few of my favorite things…
These are some of my favourite writing aids (new and old). What are yours? Show me yo’ bookshelves!
How far would you go to save your skin?
Spending some time with my main #WIP tonight, a novel about the story of Anne Boleyn. Working on the particularly trying epic of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. He sacrificed his prized possessions in order to save his skin from King Henry VIII. Spoiler: it didn’t work.
How far would you go to save your skin? Would you give up your most prized possessions? Do any of your characters do anything crazy to try and save their own skin?
New ideas coming at you like:
Throwing that query / proposal out there like:
Rereading that last scene you wrote:
Your old buddy anxiety watching you make those edits like:
Humans are the only species in the universe with concepts of hatred and vengeance, and this is what makes us so warlike. The galactic council’s decision to punish us for exceeding their arbitrary “population cap” backfires HORRIBLY because of this.
Your punishment was to be forced to maintain an energy orb, a task that requires immense concentration, for the rest of your life, but you started enjoying it, time was a blur. When your concentration finally failed, you look up, to see your dungeon in ruins, your chains rusted apart.
