First 10000 Readers Author Training Program First Impression and beyond…
So, when I decided to write my romance novel “The Science of Loving,” I didn’t consider what came after hitting the publish button. While I figured there had to be more to being a successful author, my focus was on other things… So novel written, published… was lucky enough to have a few readers discover…
Customizing Scrivener’s Outline mode
This quick tutorial will get you started on customizing Scrivener’s Outline Mode to better suit your needs. Below is the outline view of a basic novel template (I’d like to give credit where credit’s due, but I can’t recall where it came from and I didn’t see any signatures… Sorry Anonymous.)

So in the past, when I found myself relying too heavily on a few favorite words (Okay fine… Kids,…

Scary Goodness
So Peeps, for those not in the know, I like to pretend I’m a professional writer (although in reality, I’m just a boxer wearing gnome with no impulse control and an overwhelming need for attention.) At the end of my writerly day, I reward my professional self with select reads from my fellow pretenders, but…
WIP Les-isms
So for those who actually read (and liked) my book… Yes I’m working on SOL number two. No it’s not done… I thought I share some of my favorite “Les-isms” to date… I don’t know how many of these will make it to the final copy, but they were a lot of fun to write….
There Are No Carparks in the USA,
Peeps, I’ll be the first to admit I’m not perfect, nor is my writing. I know I need an editor; I’m just too broke to pay for one… And, although I know people living in glass houses shouldn’t complain (unless they can do so anonymously,) after reading a slew of American romances that came from…
