Hey all! It's been a long time since I've signed in, but life has been crazy! 
          
          The biggest news is that Hubris is going to be officially published this year! It was picked up by a publishing company and will hopefully be released in December. I have also had to split Nemesis into two books (it clocked in at 170k words, and that's before building up the last chapters). It is now Peripeteia, followed by Nemesis. 
          
          This is the big news I've been working on. I'm so excited to be moving forward with this!

Hello Sarah

Hey, all!
          
          The first three chapters of Catharsis are officially up!
          
          Thanks for reading!

Hi, guys!
          I have a huuuuuuuge favor to ask if you were a Hubris reader! It seems that Amazon has finally figured out I'm not paying people big money to review my book and is allowing the reviews of non-verified readers. If you read Hubris, I would love some feedback via Amazon!
          Also, if you WANT to read Hubris, it's only .99 cents right now, which is as low as I am allowed to make it. If you do read it, please, please, please leave a review, no matter what you thought of it. Reviews help me grow as an author, and I really appreciate them.

          Thanks for reading, guys!

Hi, guys,
          
          First, I come back after an extended break, and Wattpad has changed everything! I'm pretty excited about the coin thing, and will be investing as soon as I have money.
          
          Speaking of supporting authors, there is a new Twitter challenge called #indiecember that works like a sort of indie-author bingo. The link is https://twitter.com/_Megan_Tennant/status/1064709583971672064?s=19
          
          This is a great challenge for indie authors, obviously. I would like to get together a large list of books and descriptions for people to choose from. If you have a book on Amazon that you would like to have listed for this challenge, leave a comment below!!!

So I've been thinking about creating a website solely dedicated to selling indie/self-published authors. I think that competing with Kindle's market is easy to drown out authors. I'm exactly sure how it would look exactly right now--it would have to be based on authors having a "page" that can accept payments, list works, and be customizable for the authors, themselves (to adjust prices for promotions, set up pre-sales events, etc). Even if everybody got a Wordpress site and we somehow linked everything through the main Wordpress hub at first. I'm also trying to figure out how to do quality checks for works, as well. (Maybe have a communal Grammarly membership for registered authors?)
          
          Any suggestions?

Trying out that tap thing, which is such a new obsession of mine, I contributed!

Writing Nemesis:
          
          Me (6 months ago): "I'm going to set this big meeting of various countries' military leaders in Belarus for a VERY IMPORTANT REASON that I'm NOT GOING TO WRITE DOWN."
          
          Me (Yesterday): "Belarus? Why Belarus? Where was I going with this? There was a really important reason for Belarus. What was the reason? I should spend time searching really random phrases on Google to figure out what my train of thought was...."
          
          Me (Today): Minsk is so pretty, I want to go to Minsk, I had no idea Minsk was this pretty, I have no idea why I set this in Belarus, but Minsk is so damned pretty. How much is it to stay in Minsk . . . ?"
           #WriterProblems

Hey, guys. Computer issues lately. I've been having a problem where my computer freezes a couple of times in an hour--sometimes even a couple of times in the timespan of 15 minutes. Does anybody else have this issue with an Asus computer?
          
          The good news is that I have taken to handwriting the chapters and have about three of them to give you as soon as I type them up (most likely this weekend).
          
          In the meantime, this is my new kitten, Balthazar. I named him after my favourite angel on Supernatural, but he's a an evil, entitled, attention-seeking, violent psychopath, so Lucifer was probably a better name. Live and learn, I guess.
