Don't Forget Your Squirt Gun...


I've become my own worst enemy. I've started sucking the joy out of my writing by over analyzing every aspect of my WIP. I need to relax and remember that I'm a writer because I enjoy writing. It's the one aspect in my life that I have full reign. I can allow my characters to do things that I would never attempt, and I can travel anywhere I want to right from the comfort of my own desk chair.




Writing doesn't have t be a chore. It deserves to be done correctly, but there's no 9-5 rules, and no boss standing over your shoulder telling you to remember to stay within the guidelines of the policies and procedures of the company. Forget that. I'm the CEO of this company, I make and break all the rules. I can bring a squirt gun to work if I want to, and I can take more than 30 minutes for lunch without getting yelled at for returning too late.


I send out all the memos on changes in policy, and I don't make policies I can't tolerate. My newest memo was issued today.


Note to self...write something fantastic, while having fun, so I can get paid.

The Awe Factor

Have you ever wanted to create an awe moment in your latest WIP? Do you want your readers to remember your book long after they've closed the cover?

I'm on a quest to create the awe factor in my WIP.

I strive to enthrall my readers, and give them the desire to always want more. I feel the only way to do this, is to write from my heart. I take life experiences that I feel connects with my readers, and I bring it alive with words on the page.

I simply want to give the reader a gift of a lasting memory.
