I have a Patreon that, frankly, I don’t use. I started it a while ago because I figured that was what I had to do as a writer in this new digital age. To be obscenely honest, I don’t think I could keep up with a Patreon. I thought it would be great because I... Continue Reading →
Herbin Ballpoint Fountain Pen & Edelstein Onyx Ink | Kinetics Audiobook is nearly done!
First, the Kinetics audiobook is now done and edited. It should be out and available on all audiobook sites on February 11, 2023. Sorry it took forever but it is here! You can listen to the audiobook sample on the “Published Works” page. Now, about pens. I got another pen – yes, I know, I... Continue Reading →
Much Ado About E-Notes
It's another "Much Ado" post! I guess I do these *shrug*. I have mentioned on this blog that I do hand edits after I type up my works. I print out my work double-space (which is usually a big stack of paper), sit down somewhere comfy and go over my work with a pen. Then... Continue Reading →
Braille! … Eventually.
I do eventually plan to have all my works available in Braille. Hopefully within 10 years. I simply want my works to be very accessible, no matter who is consuming it. My work is already available in audio, e-readers can make text massive and my books do exist as ebooks, For me, the final frontier... Continue Reading →
Digital Access, Physical Accrual
Probably a very bland title. Meh The world is a lot more of a digital and interconnected place. When it comes to publishing stuff, I still have the mindset that it is still 1995. I was born in '87 and wanted to be a published writer since I was 10 so that's most likely why.... Continue Reading →
Glass Dip Pen!
I got a glass dip pen, partly because of the new upcoming book that’s coming out after Kinetics, partly because I always wanted a glass dip pen. They’re pretty! Mah Glass Dip Pen! With Cap! (That Doesn't Post)! I remember staring at more traditional glass dip pens in Barnes & Nobles when I was a... Continue Reading →
Trigger Warnings/Content Warnings in Books
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 →
Black BookTubers, Bookstagrammers and more!
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 →
CIP, Cataloging-In-Publication, LCCN, Library of Congress – I worked there, let me tell you how things work”
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 →
The Magical Ice Cream Store – Borrowed from Dean Wesley Smith
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 →
