As of Monday, I have two book tours running. Ack! One for my first novel She, and one for my latest book Concussion Is Brain Injury. “Loved the forest scene. Was dark and eerie. Felt like you were right there in the car with them.” (Melody Armstrong on Goodreads) The one for She has been…

Orangeberry Virtual Book Tour for She, Week Two
My novel She continues to make its merry way around the world, hopping onto first American then UK blogs. This past week, it appeared on Brainy Book Reads, eInk Reviews, and High Class Books. All three posted a Book Feature; Brainy Book Reads and High Class Books an interview with me; and eInk Reviews my…
An Author Interview on Blog-A-Licious Authors and a #TwitterView
My Orangeberry blog tour continues. This weekend is a quickie author interview, my second one, and a #TwitterView, round 2. But just because the events are the same genre, doesn’t mean the questions and answers are the same! Blog-A-Licious Authors asks such questions as, “What genre are you most comfortable writing?” Regular readers of my…
#TwitterView with @ShireenJ on Writing and She
After Orangeberry’s Twitter Blast comes the #TwitterView, short for a Twitter interview. I’ve never done one before. But it’s not so hard — well, except for fitting in a complete reply between Twitter handles and hashtags. Hashtags are those snippets of text denoting an event or topic that start with the pound key symbol #.…

Camp NaNoWriMo: The First Days
I am once again blogging at Google + on my writing experience during a NaNoWriMo event, this time Camp NaNoWriMo. I’ve never participated in Camp NaNo before, and it’s different from the November event fer sure. It’s casual and uses camping motifs. I’m not posting every day like I did before, but here are the…
Getting Down to Revising Time and Space, my Third NaNoWriMo Novel
After my first NaNoWriMo, I took only a couple of days off and then got right into revising my novel, while I could still remember it. After my second, I didn’t. Big mistake. Between the inevitable loss of motivation, impetus, and memory issues, revising Aban’s Accension became difficult and almost didn’t happen. And so for…
Mental Work Up + Exercise Staying the Same = Energy Way, Way Down with Brain Injury
I learned a valuable lesson this NaNoWriMo. As some of you many know, I began my own self-devised hypothalamus treatment in 2010 to try and address a variety of organic problems that resulted from a traumatic brain injury in 2000. One of the nice side benefits was my exercise tolerance slowly improved. Then this past…
The Final Few Days of NaNoWriMo 2011
The final week of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) was difficult. I’d get back to my outline, only to go meh and deviate again. Plus once I won NaNoWriMo on the 24th — reached 50,000 words — I really, really, really wanted to finish my novel Time and Space so I could rest, see how…
