What I didn’t do

Posted on May 1, 2016 by L. Jacob

I had hoped to have the second novel done by yesterday and off to the editor. No such luck. My time has been distracted by work, gaming, and other methods of procrastination. I’m making some life changes, like I’m avoiding … Continue reading →

Hello, Mary Sue…

Posted on December 18, 2015 by L. Jacob

I’m so proud of myself, writing this great romance story. It’s not original, still following a template, but it’s a great idea. Then I took the Mary Sue test. Oh, dear. The male lead is a definite Mary Sue, but the … Continue reading →
