Announcement Time!




Welcome back, y'all!

So, I have several quick announcements. Here we go!

  • As you may have noticed, I've switched my posting days - weekly posts every Thursday, posts on some Mondays. I think Thursday posts will be a lot more manageable for me than Tuesday posts.
  • I'm starting a new ongoing blog series called "Indie Author Spotlights." As of right now, my plans are to do a quick interview and guest post with the author on a Monday. Then, that Thursday, I would give my review of some/all of their stories (depending on how many they have and I've read). I have a list of authors to contact (or that I've already contacted) personally. However, if you would like to participate in a spotlight, let me know! Here's a Google Form with much more info and the sign-up form!
  • The King's Daughters' Writing Camp is hosting a Mini Camp! Sign up opens on January 18th, Camp starts on January 20th, Camp ends on January 27th, and the "gates close" on January 30th. You can read more about it here. I know I'm really looking forward to this, and I hope you will join us!

And . . . I'll have a very special post about my novel, Like a Warrior, coming up next week! Stay tuned for it!

Love,

How's your 2021 going? Are you excited about any of these announcements?

      It's a lot of fun, Kiara!! It's a bunch of Christian women and girls who have an online "camp" (an online platform to chat and discuss stories) to encourage each other on with our writing. You can read more about the entire thing here: https://kingsdaughterswritingcamp.blogspot.com/p/welcome-center.html , and find details about the Mini-Camp that's starting soon by looking at the blog post here: https://kingsdaughterswritingcamp.blogspot.com/2020/12/new-mini-camp.html# . I hope that helps!!! Let me know if you decide to join! 😄

Fonts & Titles: Book Cover Design Crash Course - Part 1

Welcome to day one in my new three-part series!  For three Tuesdays in a row, I want to share some tips about the incredible art of designing book covers. I've spent hours and hours researching, observing, critiquing, experimenting with, stressing over, and having fun with book cover design. And I'm still not tired of it. Matter of fact, I spent hours yesterday making sample covers for this blog post, knowing full and well that there wasn't even a story to go with any of them. However, for a lot of y'all, stressing for hours over the perfect book cover probably  isn't  your idea of fun.  But that doesn't mean you get to skip doing it. I know that a lot of people will tell you that you should always  hire a professional to create your cover. And I'm not saying that isn't a good idea.  But I know that professional book covers are expensive, and that a lot of indie authors don't have a couple hundred dollars lying around to buy one. So, hopefully, I can...

Ramblings

Well, I've been busy and distracted lately and forgot to write a blog post earlier. *hides* But - here I am now! Mind if I ramble for a bit? Thanks. Let me warn you - this post may seem . . . different. And I have a reason for that. See, I know I haven't been very . . . honest with y'all. I tried to make my blogging style what was expected and normal. But I'm not expected or normal. And so I'm going to try to be more honest. Maybe that means stating things bluntly. Maybe that means not getting excited like I "should." Maybe that means being sporadic or over-organized. But I'm trying to be me, not who I thought I should be. (And, heads up, that means I probably won't be using exclamation marks or emojis like I used to . . . I can explain that later. But call it an INTJ thing.) As several of you probably know, the email delivery service on Blogger will be discontinuing - I haven't looked into it yet and don't know how big of a deal it is. But...

February 2021: Wrap Up//Writing Update

Is it just me, or did February slip right by us? Like - shouldn't it still be January? 🤨 Anyway, I did get a lot of stuff done in February, short as it seemed. Started back my old routine of getting up before 6am to go sit on the porch and drink my cup of coffee. Did my first "rant-y" blog post. Had an amazing guest post by author Kellyn Roth. Got to do an interview with my friend Ellen Senechal - and she even shared an excerpt from her devotional! Made good progress on finding a routine for life, now that I'm balancing college, work, writing, and my personal life. Pushed harder on running, and got my fastest time in a while. Had an amazing surprise Barnes & Noble trip (supposedly me, my mama, and my sister were going clothes shopping - but the bookstore was only a few doors down from the clothes store, so I left them to clothes shop while I hunted for book bargains 😆). Discovered a new classic author that I already love - Agatha Christie. 🤩 (Not that Hercule P...
