Many humans are afraid of making choices - and I don't blame them. I sometimes freeze up over some simple choice and can't decide in the least what I want. When it comes to writing, making choices can be really easy, or absolutely terrifying.
The Domino Effect (And What It Has to do with Your Writing)
Do you ever think of the long list of things you need to do before you book will be done, and get a feeling of overwhelm? You're not alone, my friend; when it comes to writing (and publishing, if that's what you choose to do) there's a long to-do list before it's complete.

Seeing it on paper shows me that there really isn't as much as I think there is, and gets it out of my head. Thoughts that are running on repeat - and in circles - can really make it seem that there's way more than there is. But when you want it finished by a certain point, how do you figure out what you need to do? And in what order? That's where the domino effect comes in.

And suddenly, I found that I wanted to do it. I mean, it's Christmas. It's books. It's great. So... um... sorry, celebration. *cough cough*

How Similar are All My Books?
We just finished a super epic series on how to keep a reader interested (you can check out the last post here, which includes links to all previous posts) and I thought it would be fun to do a post that's more fun-sey.
