I can’t help sharing this set by one of my favorite authors. It comes out in 2 weeks, and you should pre-order it while it’s only 0.99! That’s 0.99 for over 20 amazing stories!
Check her out! I promise you will like what you see.

Attack of the plot bunnies!
As with most authors… I have more ideas than I will ever be able to write. Sometimes having such a potent imagination is a bit of a curse. So, what is there to do when your mind is overrun with the bunnies?
First, I recommend that you keep your writing projects to no more than two active at a time. I realize that most people recommend that you keep only one active. I think that it is easy to burnout if you push forward with a project that is not flowing. By having a second project, you have a small ability to swap off as the need arises.
Second, keep a note of the ideas as they come. Yes, write them down! You will forget them. Trust me. I have been dumb enough to believe that I didn’t need to do this. Much to my regret.
Visit the ideas list periodically to find the next project. It really is that simple. I also tend to do that with poetry prompts. What will not work one day may work to inspire another day. Inspiration sparks different depending upon the day.
So, where do you hide your ideas? Mine are all on digital notes. 😊

Thursday truths
First thing, I have published Dream Drips. I will be posting a new release link post as soon as it is completely live. (Takes up to 72 hours.)
My poetry has been accepted for the summer edition of Creatives Rising Ezine. I am always honored to be chosen to contribute.
I have been doing a weekly digital abstract piece for my wordless Wednesday blog. So far it seems to be well received. I think that I shall continue with that.
I came to the realization last night. As a publishing company, we have done 23 books. 21 for me, (3 children’s books, and 18 poetry), and Serena has 2(a novel, and a novella). Serenity Studios has only been a thing since 2010. That seems so amazing to me.
Also, a minor note. I noticed that I had neglected to upload the ebook version of Soul Drops to Amazon. There was a good reason for this. I use draft2digital for most of my eBook publishing. However I had decided that I didn’t like how Amazon was set up through them. So I had done soul drops paperback on kdp… And the ebook through d2d. The problem is… Because I did not like the set up… I ended up not complying with the required information on d2d for amazon. Forgetting that I had done soul drops that way. I realized that today. So I fixed it. It will be live in 72 hours.
Wordless Wednesday
Tuesday talk
These are my front gardening beds. I have a rather large lot to work with, however I am having to take it a step at a time. This is the before shots. I think that I will post more about my gardening effort this year. Last year we didn’t have the tools we needed so much of what we planted failed.
This year we acquired a tiller, and good looking seedlings from the local farmers market.
We are doing an indoor garden, which I will probably talk about in another post.
This year we are planting peppers(Carolina Reaper, ghost, habanero, jalapeno, sweet banana, yellow and green bell), Tomatoes (bigboy, Cherokee purple, grape) and cucumber (straight eight, pickling). We have corn seed for if we can get some of the other area clear. Time and energy will be the deciding factor.
I am looking forward to gardening and the results. Fresh veggies. Yummy!
Monday poetry
Whut r words
So I usually do writing tips on Friday. World and character development, and other useful writing based posts… Today I have nothing. Layout, and a lot of sleep deprivation, has me melty brained.
It seems to me every writer, especially the indie publishing writer, has that moment… The moment when you look at the paper and just ask “Whut R Words”…it’s not that you have nothing you can write, or no ideas for new stories. It is that in that moment you need a break. A chance to step back and breathe. This is where having other interests help.
To be honest I am in awe of authors who put out a book every month. Don’t they ever feel burnout? Feel like their brains are melting?
Help me out here, tell me how you clear your mind and refocus on the task at hand? What activities do you do when you can’t concentrate?
First poem for Ink Splashes
I should be asleep… But when the muse hits…. See y’all when I am conscious again.
