A Writer's Life

The writer's four essentials:

A cup of coffee

A notepad

A laptop

Music

A good pen used to be on my list, but I have found that when a writer discovers an idea, she will use anything within reach to write it down.

Pen, pencil, marker, sharpie, colored pencil... it doesn't matter.

I am such a writer.

Here's a free tip, my fellow writers. Some people don't think you need a notebook; you can just use a laptop, tablet, phone, etc. I disagree. When the effort to form the words becomes a grind, try using good old-fashioned paper. Trust me, it helps.

Adding coffee is always a good thing! 😉

Now, don't get me wrong. Paper is not a cure-all for writer's block.

But there are times when it's just better.

Oh, here's another freebie for ya! If you're writing on paper, but your brain is moving

faster than you can write by hand, switch to a laptop.

I believe most of us can type faster than we can write. Just a thought.

Anyway, onto the reason for this post!

I've published my first work!

It's just a short story that I wrote nearly a year ago in the space of about two weeks.

Here's a peek at the back cover...

And the front cover...

It is available as an ebook and a paperback on Amazon.

I've got two different novels in the making and ideas for three or four more, as well a sequel to this short story that I'm working on. To be honest, I've got so many ideas that sometimes my brain doesn't know which one to work on. 🤪 Any of you writers have the same issue??

Please tell me I'm not the only weird one. 😋

"Contortion" is only six chapters, seventy-some pages long, but it's so fun!

It's clean, it's action-packed. How can you go wrong?

But, I'll let you decide. 😊

Check it out, peoples!
