Aspiring Authors Take Note!

If one of your New Year's Resolutions is to self-publish your book, take a look at this article from GalleyCat, a MediaBistro site all about the publishing industry. 

Self-publishing has come a long way from pop-novel fanfic made real, and many many authors have had great success with it. But the last thing anyone wants after pouring their love, ink, and soul into a work of literature is to pour more money into it that you won't get back. The key is to do your research in order to avoid scams and make the most cost-effective decisions for your opus.

December Goodies for the Nice List

Happy December! 

Even though Fall is my favorite season for Nature's beautiful colors and mild temperature (not to mention breaking out all my cute autumn clothes!), I really love this time of year. Replacing the fall foliage are houses and trees adorned with bright and colorful lights and other festive decorations (some more tasteful than others). 

Though a fragrant wintergreen wreath is a classic, why not try something new and make this beautiful upcycled book wreath! I love how the artists starts the tutorial with "Find a mass market paperback no one will miss..." Even though I have a new appreciation for the mass market novels my office publishes, they aren't called mass market for nothing :P
