I have this week yet another post from Christopher Haymon of Adulting Digest. This time, the subject is how we as creative types can maintain a professional attitude and approach without allowing our creativity–the thing that leads us in this direction to begin with–get lost in the shuffle. Hopefully you all find it helpful andContinue reading “How to Manage a Business without Losing Your Creative Spark”

Pages in the Park
Just a quick reminder that I will be at Memorial Station in Belton, Missouri next Sunday from 1 to 4 for the first ever Pages in the Park event. If you happen to be in the south KC area, feel free to stop on by and get a signed book by yours truly!
Plans for August
July was a very long, crowded month. But despite seemingly constant activity, it didn’t see much visible progress. Work on the Knights of Aralia project stalled due to having to split my attention too many ways, and nor did I finish typing up another manuscript.

For those fortunate enough to still have their moms, remember to tell her how much you appreciate her. For those less fortunate, let us take a moment to reflect on all the wonderful memories.
Plans for May
April was an extremely busy month. Between my last-minute acceptance as a vendor at a local craft show (less than two weeks after returning from Dallas) to fantastic progress on several projects, I would say it was overall a great success. And perhaps the biggest achievement of all? Yes, I finally did it: after 5Continue reading “Plans for May”
