If I created a donation page, who would be willing to donate $2-3 to help a family I know have a fantastic Christmas? No, not my family. I try not to ask for money like this for myself. Probably why my recent gofundme did so badly.
If I get enough interest, I'll set something up.

If I created a phone wallpaper from your book, #authors, to sell in my digital shop, what would you think?
1. No, I would not use the cover. Advertising only, not in things I actually sell
2. I'd use a quote from your book, most likely, and colors inspired by the cover.

Ok, so. Back in 2002, my honors English class had us do, as a MAJOR part of the grade, a thesis on whatever topic we wanted. As a pretentious nerd, I decided, initially, to do mine on ‘how a story is written’. One of the first parts of this project was to assemble primary sources. 1/?

PSA: You can expect more reviews of Ted Dekker books, because I just found out that he's actually independently published. Ted Dekker is such an amazing author, and I can't wait to share his books!
Here's one #bookreview I wrote a while back for Thr3e:

I'm excited to read these! If I remember correctly, book one in this series won a Picky Bookworm Award a couple years ago. I'll have to double check, but if you enjoy historical fiction, you should check these out!

I've been organizing my kindle and finding full series to make sure I can buy them all eventually, and know what I'm realizing?
Most of my books (probably 98% of them) are part of a series, and I own way more indie books than I thought. I'm such a happy girl!

I can pick a new book fairly easily, and almost never read the same book twice.
Yet, picking a new TV show is anxiety inducing, and I can usually be found watching the same shows over and over.
Anyone else do this?

I didn't schedule anyone for today's #podcast, because I was going to be out of the house. Now that those plans have been cancelled (bursitis in my shoulder has me under the weather) I'm at a loss with what to do with the rest of my day. At least I have time to edit!

Fact about me:
I love reading book reviews, even if they're about a book I'm never gonna read. I love seeing all the various opinions out there.
Your turn! And go!

Looked up "affordable book editing" on Google, and no wonder self published authors avoid editing! Even after raising my rates next month, I'll still be at about half market rate. I'm fine with that, though, because I'd rather be affordable than not.

My friend is designing some new candle labels for me, and I'm so excited! I've spent so long trying to find ones I love, and I have really struggled with them. So I'm thrilled Kylee is willing and able to help me out! I'm so excited to see the final version!
