Posted on March 19, 2017 by L. Jacob

Grim is at the editor’s. A few common errors were found in the sample that was sent to me, things that are common for pantsers, like description before the subject instead of after, and use of flat words instead of … Continue reading →

Decisions, decisions

Posted on March 5, 2017 by L. Jacob

Posted on February 19, 2017 by L. Jacob

So I was struggling with Scorpio. No offense, but I’ve never had good luck with Scorpios, either as friends or in a relationship. The story I first wrote was the “origin” story. It wasn’t that great, and it was way … Continue reading →

Struggling vs worthlessness

Posted on January 15, 2017 by L. Jacob

Amazing how depressed you can feel if you can’t see. I’m still stuck at home. You would think that I would write more. Nope. It seems the more time I have to write, the less I do write. Water is up … Continue reading →

My son asked me recently what I listen to when I write. It depends on the mood. And where I am. If I’m alone, and downstairs in my writing cellar with my Mac, I don’t usually listen to anything. However, if … Continue reading →
