A Writer’s Life

“I acknowledge that I am a settler. I stand in solidarity with the Indigenous Communities of the land now called, Canada. I recognize my role as an individual in the work of reconciliation with Indigenous People. I commit to doing the work and learning more.” — On Canada Project

This past week, the remains of 215 children have been discovered at a residential school site in Kamloops, British Columbia.

When the news broke, it shook me. Hard. I had to read the headlines several times.

But . . . Despite my initial shock, the articles rang terribly true.

And the worst part is, atrocities like this still happen to Indigenous People today.

In Nova Scotia, just last summer and fall, non-Indigenous fishermen destroyed Mi’kmaq fishing property and livelihoods.

Despite being one of the most water-rich nations in the world, the Canadian government has failed to provide First Nations communities with clean drinking water.

And let’s not forget about the continuously rising number of missing and murdered Indigenous girls and women.

Feeling uncomfortable?

Good.

We settlers must take responsibility for the role we play in Canada’s colonization.

The best way to do this is simple.

Learn the truth.

Here’s how.

Read About Indigenous Communities

The number of fantastic indigenous authors out there is incredible!

So show your support. Choose a few great reads from the many lists available online.

With Raven Reads, you get indigenous books delivered right to your door every month.

I recently purchased, From the Ashes: My Story of Being Metis, Homeless, and Finding My Way by, Jesse Thistle. I also grabbed Five Little Indians: A Novel by, Michelle Good. 

I’ll discuss both on my Recommended Reads, so stay tuned!

Volunteer

Becoming a volunteer is the perfect way to show your support for Indigenous communities.

And you’re in luck.

Many organizations across Canada offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities.

Here are a few examples:

True North Aid is dedicated to supporting Indigenous communities throughout Northern Canada.

On Canada Project formed at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. This organization aims to educate people about social inequities.

First Nations Child & Family Caring Society works to ensure the safety and wellbeing of First Nations youth across Canada.

Listen & Learn

The government of Canada needs to step up. Flying the flag at half-mast just isn’t enough to make up for thousands of stolen and murdered children.

So if there’s anything you can learn from this it’s not to bury your head in the sand.

Acknowledge these horrible crimes.

Listen, learn, and don’t rely on Indigenous People to do the work for you.

We can do so much better than that.

Hey friends, it’s time to get involved! If you know of any great resources that I missed, please share them in the comments. I know I still have a lot to learn and appreciate the constructive dialogue that comes my way. 

Who doesn’t love great, recommended reads?

I sure as heck do!

It’s why I started my Recommended Reads Series, where I read a book and let you know what I liked (or didn’t like). Most importantly, I let you know whether or not I think you should read it too.

So if you too love recommended reads, here are my top 5 . . . so far!

1. Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, Gail Honeyman

“These days, loneliness is the new cancer—a shameful, embarrassing thing, brought upon yourself in some obscure way. A fearful, incurable thing, so horrifying that you dare not mention it; other people don’t want to hear the word spoken aloud for fear that they might too be afflicted, or that it might tempt fate into visiting a similar horror upon them.”
― Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

Through this book’s protagonist, Eleanor, Honeyman brilliantly explores an often ignored issue: profound loneliness.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, touches on so many of the mental health issues that lie behind why someone might shun social experiences. It confronts our inability to see that sometimes simple steps are all it takes to make a change and that anyone can change when given the chance.

This book is equal parts funny and serious, plus there’s a twist near the end, which makes it one great recommended read.

2. The City We Became, N.K. Jemisin

“Nothing human beings do is set in stone–and even stone changes, anyway. We can change, too, anything about ourselves that we want to. We just have to want to. People who say change is impossible are usually pretty happy with things just as they are.”
― N.K. Jemisin, The City We Became

The moment I read the blurb for The City We Became, I knew I had to add it to my recommended reads.

At its core, this novel (the first in the Great City Series) tries to answer a question: what if a city had a soul?

In The City We Became, the soul of New York exists in the form of a young man, who falls into a magical coma. This awakens the boroughs of the city of New York– 5 people– who must band together to stop an evil force (Lovecraft) from destroying everything.

What makes N.K. Jemisin incredible is how she incorporates the fantastic with real-world issues to bluntly tell it like it is. It’s an ultimately refreshing perspective in a predominantly white, and male-dominated genre.

If you’re looking for the future of fantasy, check out The City We Became.

It doesn’t disappoint.

3. The Nightingale, Kristin Hannah

“If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is this: In love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are.” ― Kristin Hannah, The Nightingale

When I asked for recommended reads, the book that got everyone excited was The Nightingale, by Kristen Hannah.

These can help them in igniting cheap viagra sales the passion as well performance in bed. Effectiveness: Effectiveness is the most important factor considered buy viagra without rx by every patient. The symptoms of this condition are quite similar as that of a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) with the exception of there cipla generic viagra is no presence of bacterial disease.

The moment I picked it up, I knew I would love it too.

The Nightingale is set in German-occupied France during World War 2. It tells the story of two sisters and the things they both need to do to survive.

I’m a sucker for stories about sisters. So this novel caught me straight in the feels, several times.

It’s a spellbinding read that shows the heartbreaking reality and impact of war. But it also doesn’t forget the joy, hope, and love that manages to find its way through even the direst of circumstances.

4. The Lost Man, Jane Harper

“They lived in a land of extremes in more ways than one. People were either completely fine, or very not.”
― Jane Harper, The Lost Man

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy The Lost Man as much as I did. As you can tell from this list, my favorite reads tend to veer toward fantasy or historical fiction.

The Lost Man is neither.

Set in the Australian Outback, this recommended read unravels the complex story of one family and the dark secrets that can pass from one generation to the next.

If you love a read steeped in tension and mystery, this book is for you.

5. The Way of Kings, Brandon Sanderson

“A man’s emotions are what define him, and control is the hallmark of true strength. To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.”
― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

Brandon Sanderson is one of my favorite fantasy writers. I don’t think I’m alone in saying this, I know he tops the list for many avid readers.

The Way of Kings is the first book in a planned 10 book series. It’s an epic fantasy with a fantastic cast.

I can’t get over Sanderson’s magical prose. Just when you think his characters can’t give you any more, you turn the page to reveal the most epic battle scene (etc.) you’ve ever read.

This recommended read is a hefty, beast of a book. However, the moment you dig in, the lure of what might happen next will keep you reading for hours.

Well, there you have it! The top 5 recommended reads I’ve loved . . . so far!

Curious to learn more about Recommended Reads? Check out my Recommended Read Series on Instagram or Facebook.

Get involved! Got a book you think I should read? Let me know in the comments.

. . . And don’t miss out! Give this related post a read, The Yellow Chair: An Origin Story.

When I decided to become an indie author, I became obsessed with “doing it right”.

I scoured Google for articles, signed up for lectures, and tried to apply all of the things to my author platform.

I soon found myself drowning in a list of “do’s” and “don’t’s” that made my writing completely inauthentic.

To get back on track I focused on keeping things simple. I whittled down my list to 5 pieces of writing advice.

Ready to find out what they are?

Let’s go!

1. Know Your Weakness

Writer or not, everyone has a hole in their game.

It’s the one thing that you know you need to work on, the one thing that you struggle to get just right.

One of my weaknesses is description.

Every first draft I write is literally missing description of any kind. You’ll get some good dialogue, but will you have any idea what the characters look like?

Nope.

For whatever reason, writing description is difficult for me. I’ve learned to be okay with it, in fact, I’ve even made it part of my drafting process (hello round 3!).

You likely already know what your weakness is as a writer—even if you don’t want to admit it aloud.

I’m here to tell you that it’s time.

Don’t be scared! Identify and own it, because you’ll never improve on what you refuse to admit is true.

2. Pay Your Dues

When we pick up a book, we don’t often think about how much work went into every single word that appears on every page.

What we don’t see, is that the author has 13 other novels under their belt. They’ve been rejected by agents, publishers, editors, and more, at least 100 times.

To get where you want to go in the writing world, you need to put in the work. You need to write, re-write, and get rejected.

Just like every writer that came before us, we all need to pay our dues.

3. What Else You Got?

Finished a novel-length work? You are an incredible human being!

Wrote a short story and it won an award? Let us high five from a distance.

Now that we’ve celebrated your hard-earned, well-deserved win (which is important!) take a breath and tell me: what’s next?

It’s a good question, especially in this day and age of instant gratification.

If you’re seeking an agent, they’re going to want to know if you’ve got anything else they can pitch. After all, their job and goal are to get you published.

If you’re an indie author, your super fans will want to devour everything they can get their hands on.

Make sure you can deliver.

4. Keep Going!

I remember sitting in a session with Susanna Kearsley at the Surrey International Writer’s Conference (SIWC).

During the Q&A portion of the session, she said something that turned the flicker of hope I carried into a bright, burning flame.
appalachianmagazine.com cialis order on line However, overdose with such medicines can increase the risk of cardiovascular problem. This condition may even affect your urethra. tadalafil canadian pharmacy According viagra pill uk sale to the survey, lots of main gaining the benefits of this drug and get success in having satisfactory sexual life, you may be disappointed knowing about some sexual problem that silently enters the life. Being a teacher comes with a lot of soft tabs viagra interest towards the medicine Kamagra.

Kearsley stated that everyone she knew who wanted to be an author became one eventually. They sign that agent, they publish, and they see success.

But the writers she knew who didn’t make it?

They just quit too soon.

So, you (yes YOU!) need to know your weakness and pay your dues. You need to write, submit, and get rejected.

Quit now, and you’ll never get where you want to go.

Don’t quit too soon. Keep going.

5. It’s Never too Late

“. . . But I’ll never finish a novel. So why bother trying?”

It might surprise you to learn just how many people say this after telling me they’ve got a great story idea, or that they’ve always wanted to be a writer.

Back in 2018, I attended the Henley Literary Festival. I randomly picked a few author interviews I thought might be interesting.

This is how I discovered, Anne Youngson.

Youngson is in her 70’s. She had signed an agent and published her debut novel (Meet Me at the Museum) while also earning a Masters’s Degree.

When asked how it felt to be a published author at 70, she mentioned how it hadn’t been her intention to write or finish a book.

She wrote because it brought her pleasure.

Youngson takes a different approach to life. She mentioned that if she wanted to become a pilot, she would just jump in and learn, without worrying about whether or not she would ever earn her license.

Why should writing be any different?

Don’t talk yourself out of doing the thing before you start. Just start!

It’s never too late.

The Right Writing Advice

Overwhelming myself with writing advice turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

I wanted other writers to tell me that there was a magic formula to success.

I learned that no amount of research would ever unearth a secret writing hack. The most important thing to discover as a writer is what will work for you.

(That, and like most situations, less is always more!)

Get involved! What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever received? Let me know in the comments below.

Want to know a secret?

When I first started writing more seriously, I didn’t think I needed creative support.

I thought that being a professional writer meant I had to work out all the details on my own.

That’s right.

Everything from the plot to editing needed to be done by me– and only me.  

Seeking out support felt like declaring to the world that as a writer, I was a fraud. That I couldn’t come up with my own ideas or properly commit them to paper.

Creative Support

I have no idea why I wanted to make my writing journey so much harder than it needed to be. 

I do, however, remember the exact moment I realized just how wrong I was about the value of creative support. 

Years ago, over dinner, my late husband asked how my first novel was coming along. He saw how hesitant I was to talk about my plot issues.

When I explained why he gave me a strange look.

“I’m more than happy to give you suggestions,” he told me. “You’re the one who needs to do all the work to reach the finish line.”

I realized that accepting and seeking out creative support simply means that you’re open to feedback and ideas that have the potential to make your writing stronger. 

Creative support takes nothing away from you as an author.

It makes you better at your craft. After all, you’re the one logging all those writing hours.

Find Your Writing People

It’s easy to find writing people.

It’s a hell of a lot harder to find your writing people. 

Your writing people help to make up your community of creative support.

Just like making new friends, it requires time, effort, and the willingness to develop that spark of connection. And don’t forget, your writing people are people you’ll want to support too!

In my experience, you’ll need creative support people who fill the roles of Plot Person, Beta Reader, and Editing Guru.

Plot Person

Whether you’re writing a short story, novella, or novel, you need a compelling storyline. 

This is where a Plot Person can help.

A Plot Person is someone you can talk to about, well, the plot of whatever it is you’re writing. When you stumble over a writing roadblock, a Plot Person will help you work out a solution.

How to Find a Plot Person

Look to your inner circle. 

Quite likely, whether you’ve just started writing, or have been writing for years, there’s someone in your life who loves to sit and listen to you talk through your ideas.

And, quite likely, you’ve opened up to this person because they’re great at problem-solving. They help point your story in the right direction. 

Beta Readers

When you’ve taken your work as far as you can, it’s time to get some feedback from your Beta Readers.

Beta Readers are made up of a lucky group of folks who get to read what you’ve written– before anyone else!
It boosts sperm quantity and helps to impregnate http://djpaulkom.tv/dj-paul-hosts-sexy-stripper-party-see-the-explicit-pics/ cheap viagra your lady naturally and parent a child. Find a Reliable Online Pharmacy There are lots and lots of medicines which can show erectile dysfunction as a result of anxiety, performance pressure and nervousness in men.So, first visit the doctor prescription cialis as you face the truth and find out ways to overcome masturbation effects. Although an argument could be made that there are thousands of casualties every year because of urological problems, hospitals are required to be purchase levitra well-equipped and modern. This medication is taken viagra store usa one hour before implication act, it acts by expanding the impacts of a substance called nitric oxide.

You can learn so much from your Beta Readers. All you need to do is give them direction.

In other words: what do you want your Beta Readers to focus on?

Are you looking for general feedback? Overall impressions? Character development? Emotional impact? Inconsistencies?

Giving your Beta Reader guidance will help to shape the way they read your work and the conversation you have with them afterward.

How to Find Beta Readers

I found my beta readers by attending writing conferences, courses, and workshops.

Keep in mind, these are all great places to find Plot People and Editing Gurus too.

While living in England I also started a writing group, which offers critique and writing sessions, not to mention book share evenings. (For those interested, Caversham Writers continues to meet online at least once a week thanks to four incredible human beings and writers who run each session!).

The people I’ve met through these different writing channels are some of my favorite people in the world. They’re extremely generous with their time and offer me invaluable creative support and encouragement.

They make me a better writer. And that, my friends, is exactly what you need from your Beta Readers.

Editing Gurus

When it comes to novel-length projects finding the right Editing Guru is an important writing person to add to your community.

While editing is part of my everyday writing life, I want my work to read as clearly as possible before hitting publish.

Sometimes using spell check and editing software just doesn’t catch ’em all.

This is why I bow before my Editing Gurus. These writing people make my life so much better by tearing my writing apart.

And I sincerely love them for it.

How to Find an Editing Guru

If you’re on the traditional publishing track, your publisher will find an Editing Guru for you. However, if you’re looking to self-publish, it’s best to hire someone who offers professional editing services.

Word of mouth is a great way to find a good Editing Guru. Ask your writer friends if they know someone. Contacting local universities and colleges that offer editing programs is also a great way to find an editor.

Here’s how I found my Editing Gurus.

I discovered Kirkus Reviews after reading APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur– How to Publish a Book by, Guy Kawasaki and Shawn Welch.

I found Nita Helping Hand through my Cover Designer, who I found out about through a fellow horror author and friend.

Embrace that Creative Support Network

Finding your writing people, your Plot Person, Beta Readers, and Editing Gurus is challenging.

However, once you find your writing community, you’ll see how quickly your list of go-to writing people will grow.

If there’s one thing in my writing journey that I’ve learned, it’s that creative support never equals failure.

Constructive criticism and pointers are just suggestions for you to take into consideration.

You, the writer, still need to put in the hard work. But it’s nice to know that while writing is solitary work, you don’t need to slug through it alone.

Want to see some direct results of creative support? Check out The Book of Eve Series. Writing these books was made so much easier because of my writing people. <3

. . . And don’t forget!

Eve’s Return (Book One of the Book of Eve Series) is currently FREE in ebook format on both Amazon and Kobo. 

When life throws something like a pandemic in your face, it’s normal not to notice powerful lessons through the trauma.

Instead, we often end up focusing on the things that make us feel like we’re in control again.

The problem is, trying to control everything only highlights the brain fog, exhaustion, and stress.

Being creative becomes impossible.

If you’re feeling stuck and can’t figure out how to move forward or how to move on, don’t worry.

You’re not alone. 

Here are 3 powerful lessons about control, writing, and how to let go. 

Lesson 1: The Only Thing You Can Control is How You React.   

When I was young, my parents took me to feed squirrels in a local park. From the moment my parents gave me some peanuts, I had the attention of several chipmunks. 

I really loved me a chipmunk back then. They made fantastic Rescue Rangers. 

But I digress. 

I’m not sure when the plan started to formulate in my young mind. The more I thought about it though, the more I knew: I wanted to catch one. 

I’d take it home, let it sleep on my pillow, and feed it as many peanuts as it could stuff into its tiny cheeks. 

I will tell you that I did manage to catch a chipmunk. I will also tell you that the chipmunk was not at all happy about the situation.

It fought hard for freedom.  

At that moment, I had to make a choice: squeeze it to death or let it go.

I let the chipmunk go.

It never came back. In fact, none of the chipmunks came back.

I knew I had ruined something special but couldn’t, for the life of me, understand what had gone wrong. 

It never crossed my mind that instead of just sitting back and appreciating the moment, I completely changed the outcome by trying to control it. 

I’d like to tell you the lesson stuck, but it’s taken an embarrassingly long time to realize that control is an illusion. 

The only thing you have control over in this life is how you react to the situation. 

Choose your reaction wisely.

Lesson 2: You Can’t Write Under the Influence of Control

When the lockdowns started, lots of people (myself included) declared they were going to really get creative. 

In market, you have several options for getting intimate sildenafil generico viagra with your partner. You may also want to tadalafil buy cheap save money while buying medicines is to buy generic drugs. Activity: cheap viagra australia It is the sort of a bubbling container that melts instantly in the glass water. How can you take purchase cialis http://icks.org/n/bbs/content.php?co_id=SPRING_SUMMER_2002? The technique to look at cialis is normally oral, approximately 60 minutes before sexual intimacy.
We had the time! Nothing could stop us! We were going to deliver the best darn *insert writing thing* that the world had ever seen!…

… But that isn’t what happened. (Well. It did for the lovely Taylor Swift, but definitely not for me.)

The brain fog, exhaustion, and stress that come with a pandemic are real. And when the words won’t come, it’s easy to fall into the habit of trying to force something (anything!!) onto the page.

Trying to control the creative process is like trying to catching a chipmunk.  

You focus on a terrible idea. You then hammer away at the keyboard, only to realize you’re actually squeezing the life out of the words on the page. At the end of the day, you end up wondering if you’ll write anything remotely publishable ever again.

You can’t write under the influence of control. It doesn’t work.

So, what do you do? How do you start writing again?

The answer’s simple. 

You let the writing go. 

Lesson 3: Letting Go will Move Your Writing Forward

The only thing you have control over is how you react to a situation. You also can’t write when under the influence of control. As a result, forcing yourself to write or be creative is only going to end one way.

If you’re me, it’s at the bottom of a pint of vanilla ice cream (which definitely has its pros and cons).

Letting go seems counterintuitive, but if you can move past the fear or discomfort, it’s incredibly freeing.

In fact, according to Psychologists, holding onto things can leave you feeling stuck. Letting go instead of holding on, is how you gain control over the situation. 

Letting go will move your writing forward. It will move everything in your life, forward. 

So if you let go of the idea that you have to be creative during a pandemic, or that you have to be the next Stephen King, you actually give yourself the mental space to achieve those goals.

Sit back. Appreciate the moment. The words will eventually follow.

And if that doesn’t help? Just remember this simple phrase:

Let the chipmunk go.

Happy New Year friends!

Phew. I have to say, 2018 felt like a total whirlwind. In between moving to the UK and trying to write (and finish) a novel, I can’t believe my head hasn’t spun right off my neck. This isn’t to say it wasn’t an incredible year, because holy smokes I’ve had a blast diving into travel and all the opportunities that come with moving to another country. What I’ve come to realize however, is that this whole work/life balance thing needs my complete attention and an incredible amount of planning to pull off. It certainly became a prominent theme, one that made me completely reevaluate how I view the concept of happiness.

What Makes You Happy?

Since the husband and I made the big move, we’ve been given the opportunity to make some changes. It means I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the things that make me happy. Inevitably, this also means that I’ve put in some serious thought into what makes me unhappy. Overall, I discovered I’m pretty darn content, but toward the end of the year I noticed a huge red flag.

Facebook makes me miserable.

Even though I’ve identified the problem, I’m still conflicted about writing the words down. On one hand, social media really does help me to reach a broader audience and keep in touch with family and friends. I’ve found wonderful communities of likeminded individuals and folks who really enjoy reading what I write. On the other hand when I scroll through updates it triggers a kind of pressure that ends up making my chest feel all kinds of uncomfortably tight.

For some reason, Facebook makes me feel like I can’t keep up. With what? I’m not exactly sure. All I know is that I feel like I need to post and like and comment and engage and . . . it’s not making me happy.

You might get an incredible amount of joy from Facebook and I think that’s great. For whatever reason, my brain is taking what I view and is processing it in a different way. I mean, I can’t ignore the results– deleting the app from my phone has already done wonders for my mental health.

Moving Forward . . .

In 2019 I still plan on using Instagram (which automatically posts on my Facebook author page) because I really enjoy the platform. As you likely noticed, I’ll also update my author page with writerly news. I will engage with those who comment and am still using Facebook Messenger. What this really means is: if you want to share something with me, or want me to share some of your good news, reaching out to me directly is the best way to go.

At the end of the day, I need to take care of how a particular thing makes me feel. Sometimes that means taking a step back. So, this isn’t to say I’ll never use the site again. Reducing my Facebook consumption is just one of the ways I plan to better manage my happiness in 2019.

The Novel Update

For those of you on the edge of your seats, waiting for news of Book 3, I’ve got you covered! My goal was to finish working through two thirds of the book. January’s plan is to finish the last third. Then, of course, I will need to do a few more edits (because a writer’s work is never done) to stay on track for our spring release. In the upcoming months I’ll be sharing the title, cover and blurb, so be sure to check back here for more info!

It’s been so wonderful to hear such positive feedback regarding these updated covers. Again, I can’t thank Kelly (from KAM Designs) enough for bringing a fresh spin to the Book of Eve Series. I’ve shared the new cover for Eve’s Return, and figured it’s about time to share the new cover for No Escape.

Here she is (squee!!):

For those of you who haven’t yet picked up a copy, you can grab one on Amazon (both ebook or paperback) or Kobo. Want to know what you’re in for with Book 2?

Here’s the blurb:

Jordan Andrews is back in the highly anticipated sequel to Eve’s Return, Book 1 of the Book of Eve Series!

Steal a mysterious book. Pay the ultimate price. It’s a lesson Jordan just can’t accept. With Greg facing life behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit, she vows to get him the help he needs—no matter the cost.

The only reliable ‘person’ Greg trusts is, The Voice he hears in his head. When he ends up in Rawridge Prison however, even The Voice can’t provide the answers he needs to clear his name. Now, Greg must find the courage to navigate the unknown, or spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Still reeling from the car accident, Owen discovers Levi hasn’t exactly left town. Faced with an impossible ultimatum he must learn to trust Levi, or lose everyone he’s ever loved. Forever.

No Escape (Book 2 of the Book of Eve Series) is a thrilling, action packed dark fantasy. Never predictable, this book explores elements of Christian mythology in new and unexpected ways.

Wishing you all the best for the year ahead!

As always, thanks for reading.
