While I love to write my fiction on spec (translation: work on my manuscripts which are currently unagented), Momma's gotta pay some bills. So from time to time I take an editing gig. I'm not the stuffy, Professor Tina says "this is the grammatically correct way to write or take a hike" kind of editing ...
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 ...
Have you ever heard the saying "You know more than you think you know?" I sure hope you have! For many of us, it's true! We have information locked inside us that others would LOVE to have! Many home biz owners are stumped for what they should write about, what they could possibly put into an ebook to ...
Ooh, ooh!! Ultra excited here!! My Flip camera arrived and I put it to use! After trying to mess around with my pricey HD cameras with no luck (okay, so perhaps some of the issue is operator error...I'll take some blame here...) I picked up a great deal on a Flip and you know what? I ...

Oh, technology. On Friday I wrote up an ultra-cool post to you, bragging about working poolside at the Westin La Paloma in Tucson all day (Oh, I could get used to such work environments, dangerous!!!). But then the laptop battery died...ugh...obviously, I had been working too long and sucked the laptop dry. But more ...
Uh, almost. I think pretty much everyone has a book in them. The difference between an ebook and a book-book? Well, ebooks are better suited for non-fiction. And maybe not everyone has a non-fiction book in them. But most business owners and entrepreneurs have an ebook just simmering inside...
You've written your ebook. You're sending out free copies. You're using it as marketing material. Or maybe you're selling 'em and making cash hand over fist. It doesn't really matter WHAT you are doing with your ebook - the fact remains that you should keep in mind that updating your ebook can be a great way ...
As a writer, I sometimes get requests to re-write material. It may be the client's own work.
