Twitter's #DVpit
Amazing agent Beth Phelan from The Bent Agency created a new event on Twitter about a year or two ago named: #DVpit. Its main focus is to aim for diverse authors with their own voices to pitch diverse books. The publishing industry is in a desperate need for change and I am all for it. Agents are all for it, and even successful authors have shown their suppor...

Great News!
Yesterday was perfect. No seriously, I know nothing is perfect, but yesterday was indeed perfect. I was on my way to Twitter to participate in the #PitMad event and right before heading there, I decided to check my email and boy was I surprised. Like super surprised. Read on...

Starting a New Novel
So, I am starting a new novel. This will actually be novel number three, and I couldn't be more excited. Most of my stories come from visions, in dreams, at the park, etc. They just hit me, like the first time you had a crush on a boy or a girl, or like the time you tried the best pizza ever, or the love you get when you found an amazing TV show, movie, and all that sweet jazz...

Hold's Head Down in Shame
Remember that confession about querying from the other day? Well, two things, an agent sparked interest right afterwards, but she wasn't passionate enough to take it on. And two, the submission guidelines: yes, I messed up on them. A lot of them and boy am I shamed...

The Querying Process
Sighs. Well, I am in the middle of querying and it sucks. So far I've written two novels. One about witches, my baby, and the other about a girl who lost her parents and has to go live in a world of magic with her estranged aunt. And yet--none of these have been picked up. I'd be lying if I say I didn't have a dream agent, I do, and she's denied to work with me twice. I didn't even get a no, she just...

We Are Moving!
Sorry I haven't been here in a while. Life happened, people happened, and my move is happening. We are moving. We've been living here at our current apartment for over ten years and its time. Time to move on, time to take control of our lives and time for something new. It's going to be more expensive, that I have to admit. But where we live at now is entirely dangerous. It's gotten worse over the...

Has Job Hunting Become Too Much Paperwork?
When my dad got out of an unfortunate situation, he went out job hunting. At first, he didn't talk about it much, he just said he applied where he could and kept it moving. Well, after several week's of him still asking us for money and all of us noticing that he didn't find a job yet--the truth finally came out.
He said, and I quote: Too much paperwork!
I thought he was being ridiculous. I...

Confession Time: Stepping Back and Regrouping
So, my father died in 2013 and ever since then I felt like my life has been spinning out of control. I am at a new age, I am 35 and the things I used to enjoy are no longer enjoyable. And I am talking about food and certain people's company.
I started a journey back in 2010--to lose weight and keep it off. I was able to drop 60 pounds and never thought I'd see that fat person again. I was probably...

Fantasy Novel's Not Selling Well
So the above title is true, according to Publisher's Weekly, there haven't been any good sells on fantasy books in a really long time. *Looks at collection and wonders why*
The question is, where does that leave us fantasy writers looking for representation? Well, we could just stop writing fantasy and jump to what's selling right? But what good would that do, you're nine times out of ten going...
