Time to check your neighbour’s rice bowl to see if they have enough to eat…
I want to talk to you all about a woman in the Phillipines who works to feed the kids in her area EVERY Sunday. I’ve sent her money in the past for the meals. I’ve become a patreon for her efforts. I would like to ask for you all to consider donating to her cause if you are contemplating making a charitable donation this year or want to a patreon to follow.
She’s posted an update on IMGUR of today’s meal and as you can see, she’s working to better the area…and conditions of those around her.
Her name is Jenny Remiendo and the area she is working in actually is near where Scarlet from the McGinnis series comes from.
A dollar a month will go a long way where she lives and I look forward to helping her provide another 80 Sundays worth of meals to the kids in her area.
Heh….
‘Cause I love this character, this boy and this show.
Deadly Cute.
Seriously. Like Deadly.

In no particular order….
Writing
Just remember, not everyone is a speed demon of a writer. No matter how long it takes you to go the course, keep at it. We’ll be cheering you on to the end!
Brain Zipper
Just wrote a long post then said, dude… too fucking much. So in a nutshell….
What I’ve noticed in all of this is that I’m getting grumpier and more bitey. So, since that’s really not someplace I want to live, I’m going to make a few final decisions regarding how to deal with others around me and well, how I go forward.
What I need to do is get some happy again. Because that’s been stolen from me. Or rather I’ve let other people steal it from me and continue to do so.
So going forward, I’m going to be reaching for a bit more happy and focus on wording more. Possibly with a bit more chocolate and whiskey. Definitely with more ice cream. I will continue to share things I find interesting and most of all, share authors I find and enjoy reading.
Because that’s another part of being an AUTHOR, it’s discovering stories that enchant and entertain and making sure the people around you know about them!
I’m that one friend with their Brain Zipper that’s down. 😀
So… One of the Five is on her way home…
Dropped Tamm off at the airport and she’s now partially into her 10 hour flight back home to the UK. Well longer considering she’s got to get to Belfast. I’ll be falling back into a normal writing schedule and hopefully my brain will cooperate. I could use a nap.
There’s a lot of stories I want to write. I mean there’s just ideas everywhere and I’d love to do them all. Sadly, not enough time and are there enough words?
I hope you all are doing okay. I’ll be trying to get back here more often. Watching a bit of Guy’s Grocery Games and should really catch up on Supernatural. I don’t want it to end but… sadly it will. Can’t wait for the new season of The Boys and well…. mostly get caught up in writing.
I also just had some tacos so I’m brain dead. mmmm tacos.
Blergh… Authoring. The flip side of Writing.
The problem with switching over to the “AUTHOR” part of this writing gig is trying to decide who to ask to host a blog tour, especially one that reboots an older series like Cole and Jae.
After a lot of consideration, I’m going to look at first asking blogs who reviewed Hellion, my last book, especially release day reviews. Regardless of rating, I think reviewing an author’s book on a site is a show of support.
I will NEVER ask a review site to curate a rating for me. I find that as offensive as click-farming and page-stacking a KU book.
Digging at stuff like this… business stuff… is probably the worst part about writing. Authoring is a different kind of animal from sitting in front of a keyboard and creating a story. It’s about marketing and branding as well as audience outreach, making sure you find the readers who would like a particular book.
So, the edits are finalized and early ARCs will be going out soon. February is coming up and I do have a serialized story in mind for this tour. Because the boys are married and it wouldn’t be fair not to show that day.
Right?
** That probably came out sounding odder than I intended. I’m not humaning today. I have a list of reviewers I ping for early ARCs and that’s the list I draw from for blog tours as well. Since Back in Black is… writing in the same headspace as Hellion, it makes sense it would line up with those blogs.
A brief peek at the Autistic Spectrum Brain
Man, the street walk is exactly right. And don’t give me shit about the “gender” thing 😀 . I didn’t do the film and it’s for kids. They probably just went default.
