Book design: Under Shōko's Bed

I needed a book designer. I wanted a beautiful book, even if it made the likelihood of a profit an even further reach.

National Novel Writing Month 2020 III

My NaNoWriMo novel is 91,700 words, quite a bit more than my 75,000-word goal. But there are still places that need filling out and the novel is terribly disjointed. Still, I think I have some solid content to work with.

National Novel Writing Month 2020

Six of my novels have a male protagonist, and they are quite similar, all nice guys. I wanted to stretch and write a curmudgeon.

There was one speaker whose presentation was so good that I took notes, Steven Wolfson, a screenwriter and teacher, who talked about Cinematic Storytelling.

I thought I sent Tricia Callahan a clean manuscript, but it turned out I had not learned the meaning of thorough.
