Here's Why I think people buy #coffee over #indie #books and #stories. #iamwriting #iamreading #freelancerlife
Let’s face it. Any of us who have been in the indie publishing world long enough come across a meme or a saying about people who would instead buy a four dollar cup of coffee instead of an indie book. It’s a strange disconnect that does not seem to make… -
Hey Fudge Fans. I did an episode on Damage Factors that'll drop on Monday. I'm thinking up some show ideas and I could use a bit of feedback. I was thinking I could discuss adapting Fiction and other RPGs to Fudge, but would that be alienating to those who are unfamiliar with those materials? Also, how necessary are basic How-To shows on fudge? My target audience is generally folks who already kinda know what fudge is, but does there need to be some intro episodes to help build the fandom? Thanks Guys. I also got a call in number for the show, and got it listed in everything. Have a look http://plusorminus.capheind.com/

One way that I personally like the way it was handled in our 118 is that the Federation doesn't have a currency per se, they follow pretty much the idea of energy being used as a way of buying and selling. The base idea though is that they do track the value of the "currency" so that other cultures who have not shed their money systems are able to convert their currency into something that can be used to "buy" things in the Federation while the Federation citizens can convert the value out of Federation energy credits into a currency of value to the culture that functions with money. In essence, 10,000 credits for a starfighter would be a measurement of how much energy credits it would take to build one. It's a measurement, not a coin. That way it meets the "no money" idea but still has a way to make cultures like Ferengi still function and exist and willing to work with the Federation politically. https://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=Currency

Alpha Minor (2018) - A Review of the new Harriet Walsh Novel by @spacejock. #new #scifi #ebook
Science fiction is beautiful in how many times you can see something familiar, but it is fresh and new. This was the case when I got to read Simon Hayne’s soon to be released Alpha Minor, the second book in his new Harriet Walsh series. -

Was talking to @Journeyofword about writing software. Here's why I like using @spacejock 's #writing #program! #iamwriting #indieauthor #freelancerlife
Just a little while ago I was talking to my best friend Jessica Werner about the software that we use to write our novels. If you have been in the writing world long enough, you know there are quite a lot of options out there ranging from the simple pen… -
Yeah. There is a limit to #creativity. #iwaswriting #freelancerlife #indieauthor
I had a strange and ill feeling when I finished The Bastion at the Edge of the Universe, and I did not like what it boded. I remember putting together the last of the Ebook, staring at the screen as it uploaded to Draft2Digital and said to myself. “I’m… -
Just releases my #new #scifi #ebook Bastion at the Edge of the Universe. Come join Ethan Hawke on his #adventure in this #new book!
Gosh, I love to write. I also know that I’m stating the obvious but as I sit back and look at the new novella I release, I can’t say that I don’t enjoy the satisfaction of going from 0 to complete. There is just something about seeing my work out there… -
Announcing the release of my #new #ebook Ashwood Fals: Benjamin based in @Journeyofword 's world!! #new #story
As you all know, I love to write. Last year though, if you asked me what my favorite story to write it would have been the Ashwood Falls: Benjamin story. Honestly, I just adored writing Isabelle and Aoibheann in the story and I’m really satisfied with how… -

Have a #new #book schedule. Here is the 2018 one for you all. #iamwriting #indieauthor #freelancerlife
Done. After going through everything that survived and what I want to do, I’ve finally got my new release schedule put together. Here is what I plan to do for the next six months. -
Authors, you may have experienced this but nothing flares my irritation than someone who says “Oh, a writer? It’s pretty easy, I just don’t have time to do it.” or it’s variations. Am I about to rant? More than likely. I find it very interesting how many…

Data backup day. What do I find? My hard drive is dead. #iwaswriting #totalloss #furious
For years I have always heard stories about backing up your work and making sure that it is in a safe place and it is something I have practice for quite awhile. The part that hurts in ways is that the day you get on to do your regularly scheduled back up… -
I'm done with @Smashwords. Let me tell you why they've earned my ire. #indieauthor #freelancelife #iwaswriting #indiepub
My new book Jassik Creed & The Meek Prince will be the last book I will be uploading to Smashwords.com. This tickled the back of my mind for a while, but after several infuriating attempts to get my book on to their market, I’m fed up with them and will… -

I don’t know about you, but there are a few projects that I have had for so long, you wonder if you’ll ever get them completed. Jassik Creed & The Meek Prince was one such book that started in 2010 after the release of the first book Mermaids of Emerald… -

I'm not a #Successful #Author and That's okay. #musing #iamwriting #freelancelife #indieauthor
By most standards, I am not a successful writer. That sounds like a depressing way to start an author blog but bear with me to the end. Why we write is very important and it has been something I have worked through for the past few weeks. I know what I… -
