Catching up…

Well, I’ve phased out of the non-fiction ghostwriting and ebook coaching. Woohoo!

But it’s been more difficult transitioning from non-fiction writing to fiction writing than I anticipated. Sure, I’ve got plenty of crazy fiction ideas rattling around in the noggin. But the constraints of non-fiction writing have these invisible shackles on me. It’s been tough shaking them off and really writing freely…as fiction really NEEDS to be written.

My solution? Read plenty of fiction. Immerse myself in it. And it’s helped. I’ve read murder mysteries, chick lit, literary fiction, you name it. And I’ll keep on reading it as I keep on working on my writing.

My current project is Woof! And it’s involved a fair amount of research. And I’m not a huge fan of research. But in the end, it will help the book…because if I don’t know what the hell I’m writing about, then the whole book will ring false. And we can’t have that, now can we?? ;)

Another fun thing I want to share is a new book – 199 Internet-Based Businesses You Can Start with Less Than $1000 – and yours truly is featured in it. Well, my ebook coaching & ghostwriting biz is featured. You can check it out on pages 182-183. The book is great for anyone looking into home business…plenty of informational nuggets in there and case studies.

    Hey Tina :)
    wow, you’re just a freakin’ rock star now aren’t you?? books and blogs and all that cool stuff.

    Was laughing about your comments re; fiction writing too, I can’t remember who said it, but yeah, fiction is way harder, you have to make it make sense. Where as everyone knows that real life doesn’t ever make sense. What’s up with that?

    Oh, and let me know what kind of research you need, I’m pretty sure I still owe you big for some previous projects, I’d be happy to help you out, you know, between all the other stuff I’m supposed to be doing ;)

    Keep on rocking it :)
