Random rant about writing

   The other day I was in a chat room trying to clear my head since I was having a hard time with a scene in my W.I.P I thought chatting with some of my online friends might help. But a total butt head came in the chat room and started going off on the fact I am not published and I need to shut up and go write. When I asked what does it matter to him if I am published or not he went off on the fact he has been published hundreds of times and it's not hard. I asked him what he published he informed me he writes patents, technical text for patents. I inform him I write novel length manuscripts and it's hard to get published unless you self publish. Apparently that just upset him and he kept going off on me to the point everyone else started defending me. Then the butt head starting getting mad they were defending me. At this point nearly everyone blocked him so we would not have to deal with his drama.

  The reason I am telling you all this is if you write anything and you get published please do not bash anyone who is trying very hard to get published. Yes in some industries it's easier then other to get published. If you are being bashed for what ever reason do not give up on your dreams they are worth fight for. Please believe in yourself and don't let butt heads discourage you. A good friend of mine told me "the reason he was bashing me is because he is jelous of my talent" I think that is some really good advice and I think this goes for anything not just writing.

Well it's getting late I have to be up early
Happy reading
Happy writing

April so far

      April so far is going well; I have been getting some writing done. I also have been trying to do more to promote my books. I have also done one event so far this month (April 13th), I have another one this coming weekend (April 21st). I sold seven books at this last event two sets of all three books that are currently out, and one of the first book (New Life By The Full Moon).      I have been working on book four of the Ann Smith series which I believe is the last book of the series. I have also been working on rewriting my vampire book Nirvash, a vampire's tale. along with that book I am writing a companion book about Lovebug, the vampire kitten's life.       I have been doing the normal promoting stuff, like scheduling posts on my social medias. I have also started a reading group but it's not going well so far. But I am hopeful it will get better. I am looking into getting some other kinds of swag to possible help get the ...

This month is hard.

    I am having a rough month, the only event I had this month was on the 3rd. it did not go as planned, it was a slow event. No one really showed up to it, I did sell 2 books that day. I have been trying to write more, but it isn't going as well as I would like but I am getting words on paper so to speak. I am also dealing with some health issues; I will be OK I just need to get through this.         But I am still moving forward with my writing, scheduling events I am taking part of and promoting my books, events. I know this is not the most thrilling information, but this is my life. I write this blog to let people who want to do anything creative as more than a hobby that sometime life can effect what you are doing more than you could ever think possible. But I do not give up on my dreams. life can be a pain some time, but it doesn't mean you stop. I will get back to writing happy reading happy writing

May

  So far May is going well, my first event this month was on the 4th, it went well I sold 11 books and got to talk to interesting people. my next event is on May18th, it is taking place in Maryville IL. I am doing this event for the first time; I am hoping it is a good event for me.     I have been working on redoing my vampire book which was pulled from print years ago the title is still Nirvash, A Vampire's Tale. I finished up doing the self-edit and adding some details all on paper. I need transcribe it to the document on my laptop. I am going to try and get it out by the end of the year so i can possibly get Lovebug's life story out the following year.   I don't have a whole lot more to say at this time. I hope you all have a great day happy reading  happy writing
