And this place could do with a dusting off and re-invigoration. Some thoughts on that here: https://www.mostlylies.com/latest/ — no promises. I’m not much of a New Years resolution person 🙂

I looked over at The Self Pub Hub, only to realize it’s almost been a year since I updated it. What?! It caught me off guard, clearly. My fiction efforts slowed down in September 2018 as I prepared for bigger life shifts and forays into the publishing side of things… […]

Back when I started this project, I’d not sold anything, so we were at $0.00/day. Then I checked in a few months later, after a spattering of friends and family sales to clock in at $0.08/day. Based on eBook royalties, a writer’s function with Wattpad, and estimated hard copy revenues, […]

The idea (not necessarily the site), turned one on July 31st, 2018. On that day, I took stock of some of my writing stats with a plan to revisit them and explore the delta one year later. I missed the mark on doing that on exactly July 31, but having […]

Another near blogless month blasted by, dang! Nevertheless, cool things abound. First and foremost, a new project. Well, sort of new. I forget if I alluded to the horror publishing company I was looking into fostering… if not, well, it has a name and a small initial crew of excited […]

Preposterous! I am still chiseling away at the dream, albeit the regular blogging habit has fallen off. Important habits, however, have not! They include: Writing every day Velocity had slowed, and I’ve been counting things like Instagram related copy towards the count on the slowest days, but I’ve been making […]

For the entirety of the year thus far, my total word count has tracked above the daily goal. Today I am still “in the black,” but by less than a day’s breadth. This is a superficial observation, because my only true goal is to write at least once every day… […]

It’s been awhile since I’ve written in public, and even longer since at a bustling bar! While there is loudness and joviality all around, it’s still possible to lose oneself in the story, which I find endlessly interesting. The April slowdown continues, but it’s not been crushing or anything like […]

Last post, I had mentioned a hopeful surge in early April writing output. But as the cards were dealt, turns out I’m in another mini drought (only 1,300 words or so in the past 8 days). This was due to a combo of a busy weekend, a busy workweek, multiple […]

The back half of March was relatively weak on the fiction front, wherein I only made my daily word goal twice between March 14th and 31st (total words were over 6,100 though, thanks to the Write Every Day discipline). But since Monday, I got over a story hump and have […]
