“I am artiste, I cannot work in these conditions” (spoken with a heavy accent, I don’t know which one) i also do not recall the movie this quote originally came from.   But- there is also another good one: don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good.  or something like that. Mostly, it means,…

For those of you who haven’t been following this series, I’ve gotten mentally sidetracked the past few weeks with my current kickstarter campaign. It just ended and did fairly well given it is only my second time. And a quick thank you to everyone who supported that. But running the campaign definitely took up a…

So, I spent countless hours working and reworking the Kickstarter campaign for Lost Mage. When I did Winter Mage, I was brand new to the platform and stumbling my way through the expectations as well as the technical aspects of creating and launching a campaign.   So this time, I had a nightmare trying to…

Okay- so I read LoTR when I was about twelve. That was the first reading. I read those books cover to cover and circled right back to book 1 again when I would finish. I was reading the series when most other kids were reading the Little House books (explains a lot about why I…

So, I’ve learned that I should never trust my own eyes, especially when I have stared at something for too long. I know this with editing, and I rely on my beta readers with more trust than I would give my mother:) I did NOT follow my own wisdom when I finished the kickstarter special…
