Saturday Thoughts

Saturday Thoughts

This is my work-in-progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.

I got quite a bit written this week.

Next week I am not expecting to do as well. This is going to be a busy publishing week for me. I am putting together two anthologies (Across the Stolen Seas is being split), doing the editing for that… Then I have to double-check my September links. (including Andrew McDowell’s Years’ worth of Thoughts and my own Kissed by Verse) and work on my October books. (which will include Serena’s Stacked Nightmares.) So squeezing in time to write may be difficult.

Also, I decided to give my romance Pen Name a whirl, as I have a couple of romance stories that have been needing to be written. So much like Serena’s Stacked Nightmares, Heaven’s Forgotten Tales, and Apocalypse Atheneum…I started a book for her to write in. Meet Alchemy by Susan Ann Andrews. (That is my originally planned pen name when I was nine and wanting to be an author.)

color my art is in motion

I found someone who is more steady than me who is willing to do the inking. so it id one step closer.

A gift for the fans

So I have received a few comments that my book catalog is daunting…my friend Jenny asked me to do omnibus editions for my poetry volumes and it seemed like a good idea. So in April – for National Poetry Month I will be releasing omnibus editions of my poetry volumes.

Announcement: release date upcoming

We finally got the release date for Serena’s Chasing Ghosts !

It’s available for preorder now but it is going to release June 21st.

She spent quite a while chasing her ghosts and herself in this volume of poetry. I think it’s a good volume.

Doing it slightly different

Normally, if I set up the link for a book…It is at least completely written. This time I am starting that process early. Queer Verbage, at the time of this post is 10 poems away from being done…But I wanted to secure the April release date. The publishing schedule fills up so fast…I wanted to be sure when this would release. And considering I have been fixated on this volume…I do not see myself having issues writing 10 poems in nearly four months.

Announcing Serena’s Next Volume

So Serena’s Gathered Bones just got finished being written…link coming soon. I am hoping for a February release…

Her next poetry Volume will be Titled Chasing Ghosts.

Time to pick.

So I am at the 10 poems away mark on Uncanny Valley.

I usually wait until I am closer… but I am doing 2 separate pad challenges… so I think that I should have the next one ready.

Cover art is subjective

If you have been reading my blog for any amount of time, you know I love doing cover art.

Canva is a tool. Not my only tool. But one that I use often.

I usually don’t use the template option. I feel like I’m more creative and can come up with something else.

That being said… the above cover was only slightly modified from the template option.

That template inspired me.

Then I wrote the volume, published it, and found out that the image has inspired many people. It has been used for several books.

Sigh.

So I revamped the cover. I gave it my own flair. And I feel like it fits better. I have already updated most of the ebook locations. And I will be doing the same thing for the print and remaining ebook sellers later today. It should have been more like this to start with.

I have really no excuses. Inspiration does not always equate to me thinking things through.

The link is the same.

The only thing that is changing is the cover is getting a little bit better.

The link for Day. The link for Night.

Evolving poetry volumes

So I am done with the writing on Muse’s Masterpiece.

I will start Echoes tomorrow.

That being said… when I asked for a help to pick the next volume, I think that I miss-spoke. I always start with the idea that the volume is unthemed. (Unless I have a theme in mind) it evolves every time to bear a little bit of a theme.

I don’t do it on purpose.

I really don’t.

There is always some that don’t fit in the end exactly, but I don’t feel bad about it as it was not supposed to be a themed book to start with.

All of that being said… Muse’s Masterpiece seems to be mostly about answering the call of the creative muse.

Muse’s Masterpiece is scheduled for publishing in November (Link when I get it). And I will be writing on Echoes into the Void starting tomorrow. Maybe this one will not gather a theme on me.
