The Passion is Gone

Posted on December 4, 2016 by L. Jacob

Saturday was my last appearance for the year, and there’s one thing I learned. I need a better pitch. My pitch leaves too much to the imagination. I need to tell the plot of my novel in one sentence. But … Continue reading →

Music or No Music?

Posted on November 27, 2016 by L. Jacob

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 →

The Market

Posted on September 11, 2016 by L. Jacob

Went yesterday to an Author Meet & Greet in Narragansett. I had the best table–right at the door. I sold nothing. All around me, (memoir, children’s books) they sold at least 2 copies. I sold nothing. I’m still depressed over … Continue reading →

The Day Job

Posted on August 28, 2016 by L. Jacob
