Creativity needs to be feed and sometimes I step away in order for me to "recharge my creative batteries" -- so to speak. I give myself 10 minutes to two hours breaks in order to physically refresh myself. It allows me to mentally check out. Many times I'll go for a walk or swim, and that takes care of it. Usually, when I come back from the breaks, the answer quickly comes to me and I'm ready to write again. (less)

How Long Does it Take to Design a Book?

I'm so glad that you asked.

I'm sitting here working on Iona Fay & the Fire Keepers (The Adventures of Iona Fay, book II) and have barely slept more than a couple hours each night for two weeks. I can say that creating a book is a full-time job. If you're like me, and your self-publishing while working another job during the day, then it's important to carve out dedicated time to focus on designin Read more of this blog post »
