Woo, revisiting the topic, especially now that I have a book out, and more coming out, that will feature trigger warnings. I already wrote about this but I don’t mind writing again about it. It’s a good topic. Since I’m an indie publisher/writer, I designed my own content warning page. I try to keep it... Continue Reading →
I talk about how I actively look for BIPoC reviewers. I wanted to share some info dump pages that showcases at least two hundred Black Booktubers, Bookstagramers and more. Through these lists, I also have found Melanin Library, an online library resource that shows countless books written by Black authors. They’re listed by genre also!... Continue Reading →
I always think it’s a little weird for me to send in my works to the LCCN/CIP department at the Library of Congress. LCCN stands for “Library of Congress Control Number”. CIP stands for “Cataloging in Publication”. What it is (pulled from the website): “The Cataloging in Publication (CIP) Program creates bibliographic records for forthcoming... Continue Reading →
I am borrowing this from Dean Wesley Smith. He talks about “The Magical Bakery” as it pertains to putting out your work, copyrights and licensing. It’s super informative and I strongly recommend everyone read it but some parts can get a little confusing for someone super brand new. So instead of a pie shop, how... Continue Reading →
I learned I hit all the pins to join SFWA (by the way, thank you everyone who has bought a copy of Dreamer (and In Search of Amika!)) … and I’m really not sure why I would want to. SFWA stands for Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, a long-standing organization for spec fic... Continue Reading →
I’m looking at potential reviewers to approach for future works and one thing I have noticed about myself (that I already knew all along): I prefer to seek out BIPoC reviewers only. Reason? I want my works to have a fair review, be it positive or negative. I personally do not believe that is really... Continue Reading →
I have been amassing an insane amount of inks recently. I think I’m done with my ink kick, I have more ink than I think I’ll probably be writing with … well, I come up with ideas regularly so I doubt that, but I definitely have a lot of ink to last me for the... Continue Reading →
I got an email inviting me to try the beta testing of the Google AI audiobook service. It basically converts your ebooks you have uploaded on Google Books as a Publisher into an audiobook. They have many different voices to chose from, women and men, different accents/nationalities, etc. By the way, through the nature of... Continue Reading →
I got a new pen. I originally used the Bic Atlantis fine point for the longest time (mainly because it flowed well and I had the squishy grip version) – but then the supply chain shake-up occurred. I know that the pandemic has definitely struck the supply chain in all sorts of odd ways but... Continue Reading →
I am actually quite happy to showcase this playlist as I have been thinking on it for a while. Dreamer is very music based - as in, one of the primary settings is in a music store named YinYue: Music Under the Moon, countless music acts and genres are mentioned throughout the book, etc etc -...
