October is bearing down upon us. This has always been my favorite month of the year. I would happily trade January or August for an extra October. It’s also always been my best month for sales. This is probably because I have a few paranormal titles in my catalog.

I plan to hit it hard in October. I have a few guest posts that will appear, and you may find some new blogs to follow at the host sites. I still have time to write a couple more if you know of an October event that I should participate in.

There are also a couple of blog tours via my Story Empire crowd. We’ll be giving away prizes and hope to make a big splash. Follow Story Empire to keep up with what’s going on over there.

I intended to make the tips & tricks part of this into a…

It is stupid o’clock and I can’t sleep. The throat still feels like I’m swallowing red-hot golf balls and my ears as if they have been skewered. After ten days, it should have cleared. So much for the early night. In spite of the chill of autumn, I have already thrown off the covers in my sleep, so I decide to give it up as a bad job and get up. Maybe a hot drink and some painkillers will help…

I flick the kettle on and wander through to greet the dog. Regardless of the ludicrous time, she still wants to go out into the garden. I wander out there with her to cool off and look at the sky.

Meerkat agreed to do a follow up post about stuff we writer types can do to avoid getting a less than stellar review from a reviewer.

1 – Spelling errors, grammar errors, typos, etc.

I know these are perhaps the least important for some people to check and I don’t mind the very odd typo (I’m guilty of them myself) but if every page of a book has typos and…

Every great dream begins with a dreamer.
Always remember,
you have within you the strength,
the patience, and the passion
to reach for the stars

​I’ve been feeling very emotional lately. I’m not 100% what’s bringing it on. Or maybe I do but don’t want to admit it to myself or anyone else for that matter. So I’m really trying hard to go by my quote this week.

‘Don’t let yesterday take up to much of today”

It proves to be a difficult one for me at the moment. I find myself worrying about the smallest of things. Then getting angry with myself for having these feelings. I really need to find a way to get over things and try not to sweat the small stuff.
