Summer is approaching, and its time for me to start setting some writing goals. Of the four major books I want to publish this year, I have published one so far. June is the mid-point of the year, when I begin to assess how much progress I’ve made. Since I made the move from NY to VA, and landed a decent (but utterly boring) day job, I have a hard time finding time to write. With June approaching, I need to get my ass in gear, and crank out some books.
So,do any of my fellow writers out there have this problem? Is your day job sucking up more of your time than you would like it to? Do you find it hard to make time for your writing? Please share your thoughts in the comment section below!
When you’re a writer, you may find yourself incorporating the things that inspire you, into your writing. For instance, Our Lady of Righteous Rage is filled with the things I love: punk … Continue reading Japan’s Influence in “Fortune’s Wing”

Spring has officially sprung! The sun is shining, flowers are in bloom, and temperatures are finally above 50 degrees. This month, Woolaston Entertainment is celebrating Our Lady of Righteous Rage. The next book in the series, Rock N Role Model, will be available towards the middle of the month. To celebrate, I’m going to post blogs devoted to the series. Plus, guest blogger Ebunnygirl will share why she loves the series so much. So, check back often, and I’ll keep you posted! 🙂
Like most responsible adults, I do my best to manage my finances by making smart choices when it comes to spending money. If I don’t really need something, I think twice about purchasing it. Of course, you have to have a little bit of fun every now and then, right? If we didn’t have fun, life would be boring!
I was poking around on Hot Topic’s website, just to see if there was anything new that might catch my eye. I came across a Green Day t-shirt. Now, I don’t need a Green Day shirt, but I wanted a Green Day shirt, and this one looked pretty sweet: Billie Joe, Tre Cool and Mike, in black and white, from 1986. A good year. I was 4. Anyway…
Anyone who knows me, knows I have a TON of band tees. I mean, a TON. It’s borderline ridiculous. But I’m into music, and I’m into bands, so it just makes sense. I have 50 Green Day shirts already! (Okay, not 50, more like 6 or 7) I didn’t need another one. But, what the hell, right? So, I ordered it, and I patiently await it’s arrival in the mail.
Life is short. Enjoy it while you can. Buy stuff you don’t really need.
Happy Saturday, everyone! I wanted to share a piece of good news. I started my Books For Books Campaign at the very end of February, in order to increase sales for my website, and make donations to organizations in need. So far, it’s been one sale here, one sale there. It’s slow going, but it is only the beginning of March, so I decided to remain hopeful. But you know how it goes: you try something new, you go into it with high expectations, and when it doesn’t go as planned, you feel a little let down. Then, a customer reached out to me on Facebook’s Messenger. She asked about some of my books, and we talked about writing and publishing. I figured, maybe she’ll order a book, and I can match the order with a donation. The following morning, I checked my email, and received an unexpected surprise.
She had placed a $100 order! She order ALL of my bundles, and two copies of The Witch of Fulton Lane. I was completely shocked. I contacted her to make sure the order was correct (and it was). I thanked her for the order, and I let her know her books would be in the mail by Monday. Even now, I’m still in shock.
My first major order!
This order isn’t just a boost for Woolaston Entertainment. It helped me regain my confidence as a writer and a business woman (just in time for International Women’s Day, which is even more awesome!) Plus, I will match the order by donating books to the organizations I selected.
To my customer: I promised not to mention you by name in my posts, but I have to thank you again for your support. I greatly appreciate it 🙂
Even when things look dark, and you feel like what you’re doing is pointless and you feel like saying, “Forget it. I’m done. I give up”, you have to keep going. Sometimes it takes a long while to get to where you want to be, but you will eventually get there.
I’m still matching purchases through my Books For Books Campaign: I will donate a book for every book that is purchased.
