Article about Lucid Dreaming

Lucid Dreaming Ah, how cute. I entered my bedroom, stepping over my dog Bina, all snuggled up under her favorite blanket. But as I continued walking through the room I spotted something that was as confusing as it was adorable. Another Bina…same dog, same blanket. Same peaceful expression as she slept there on the floor. As I struggled to understand this odd development, this sudden appearance of a doppelganger dog, the impossibility of the situation triggered the question…am I dreaming… Continue

Self Publishing Secrets

The publishing process can be a rough ride. After a million rejections, you eventually land a contract. You receive the lowest royalty rate going -- and the Editor from Hell. Months later and your manuscript looks nothing like the original -- and you're still waiting to see a single dime. ... * Well, what if you could cut out ALL of that hassle? * YOU CAN -- when you decide to self-publish! And that's why I'm writing today. I want to tell you about the best and most up-to-date guide availabl… Continue

If you're a writer, I'm willing to bet my bottom dollar that at some point you've stumbled upon the dreaded Writer's Block.

If you're a writer, I'm willing to bet my bottom dollar that at some point you've stumbled upon the dreaded Writer's Block. It's the point at which your ideas DRY UP. You can't imagine how your story should continue. You aren't able to turn on your creative spark. You're lost for inspiration. You feel like you're in limbo. You feel STUCK. As a writer, I personally find this the worst feeling in the world. I feel trapped. I know I have a huge hurdle to jump over, but have absolutely no idea ho… Continue

Five-figure royalty ADVANCE...Before you've written even a WORD of your book

The publishing process is a NIGHTMARE. You spend years perfecting your manuscript. You take months researching the best agents and publishers in town. You blast out your manuscripts - only to receive a handful of pre-printed rejection slips in return. So, you get more desperate - and start sending out manuscripts a dozen at a time. More and more. Nobody is interested. You're FRUSTRATED. And ANGRY. And... GRRR! But it doesn't have to be that way. Can you imagine landing yourself a HUGE publ… Continue

Tips for Plotting Your Novel - Part 1: Percolate Your Ideas

Fiction authors are often asked, “How do you come up with your novel plots? Where do you find those ideas?” As a Canadian suspense author, I am often asked these questions, and my answers will usually include something about letting ideas percolate and ferment. I know―it sounds like I’m brewing coffee and making homemade wine, but in reality I’m creating what I hope will be a fast-paced suspense novel that will be enjoyed by readers worldwide. I think that percolating a novel plot is the perfec… Continue

Hot Trends, Hot Markets - Social Networking and How Authors Can Use Them to the Fullest Potential

In July I presented on a panel at the 2008 CanWrite! Conference in Edmonton, Alberta. The topic of my panel was Hot Trends, Hot Markets, and it was the only panel that ran separately as a main feature. As an author, I looked at this topic from the perspective of aspiring and published authors. As someone who's been nicknamed "Shameless Promoter" because I promote my books with everything I've got, utilizing everything I can think of or learn about, I want to share what I've learned. This inform… Continue

Wow, Golly and Gee Wiz

Holly Cow what a great network of which to me a member. I only just joined yesterday and already I've picked up tons of good information on how to promote a book. For me the information is simply invaluable because it comes from direct experience and not simply theory. Self promotion can be a tough job. This is something which which I am very familiar. In the early 90's I was the owner operator of a small Canadian import / export and distribution company. I sourced products overseas which I imp… Continue

Great Place to Be

Writing is by nature a solitary profession and more than occasionally frustrating. This is especially true when it comes to marketing yourself as a writer, pitching a book proposal or article or promoting something you've already published. A network like this is a great place for writers to hang out and exchange information, tips and generally rub elbows with other writers. I's often said that misery loves company but, just being part of a supportive network might in fact make one somewhat les… Continue
