Ok… We will be sharing Meet the Author posts for Through the Sunshine starting later today… We still wanted to do the regular posts as well though.
Teaser Tuesday is where you show us what you are working on! Comment some of your newest W. I. P. Or even a bit of a blurb. Don’t have something that you want to share? Then point to another indie to boost their work. Be sure to look through the comments and boost up the ones posted!
Today is the deadline Through the Sunshine. I plan to take the weekend for Cyn and I to go through the entries. Monday there will be a post that will reveal the authors and story titles accepted. We are going to start sharing bios and spotlighting authors after that. We are looking for a June release.
Okay! Whew, we made it to Friday. Got a social media link to share? Or even better, want to share a link to another indie? Let’s lift each other up! Sharing is caring! And be sure to look into any links that are in the comments before you.
This looks like an entrance from the faerie realm. Does it inspire you? Write a poem about it and send it to us. We will feature it on our social media. Write a story and we may use it in Through the Sunshine – our upcoming anthology. Deadline was extended til Feb 14th at midnight!
Enjoy coming up with something and let us see what you got!
Happy Writing!
Yesterday, we did a book announcement for a indie author. She is not one of the authors that works for us, but we promote all Indies! Today, we thought that you would want to meet the author.
Cait Marie is a Coffee House Writer who also is one of the ones running Functionally Fictional. She has her own blog. The book we told you about is the first of a series of YA books she is publishing.
We asked her how long she has been creative. She responded “I started writing in 2015, but I’ve been creative in other ways (mostly art) my whole life.”
She is one that also supports Indie authors on her Functionally Fiction blog. It features new books and book reviews. It’s fairly awesome.
We asked her how she deals with writer’s block… To be told that she doesn’t really suffer from writer’s block per se. It’s more that she has some days that she just can’t/don’t want to write. She is working on more consistent writing habits. For example, she is trying to write for an hour at least four days a week. Shek joined a group that does writing sprints four nights a week, which is helping a lot.
She has two cats… Koda and Azriel. They are obnoxious, but She loves them. We would love to see them. 👀👀
When asked what she does with her time… “Most of my time goes to reading and writing, but I also love creating spreads in my bullet journal, painting, listening to music, going to concerts, and watching movies and TV.” That sounds like a lot of creativity to us.
We also asked about what got her writing. “I started writing one day partially out of boredom and partially because a book I read didn’t go exactly how I wanted it to. I decided to write my own book so I could include anything I wanted, but I had no idea at the time that I would end up here. I only wrote academically before that and hated it. However, I have always loved reading. My love of books is really what got me where I am today. It’s why I started Functionally Fictional, which led to me becoming involved in the book community.” We are glad she did.
It’s that time again!
Tell us about your work in progress! Or something that you have published! Or link to some one else’s great writing to help us see them!
Give us a teaser and links to find you!
