ANNOUNCEMENT INCOMING!🎉 I'm thrilled to finally be fulfilling a long-held dream: I'm going to be officially launching a freelance fiction editing/critiquing business in the very near future! I'll be sharing more information over the next few days!

One of my main goals as an editor is to offer services and rates ideal for #indieauthors. What would the ideal editing experience look like for you as an indie author?

Wearing a cloak when you're healthy makes you feel like a dragon, or maybe a mysterious scholar. Wearing a cloak when you're sick makes you feel like a shriveled hunchback ensconced in a certified Harbinger of Doom shroud.

"Men will tell you the Sea is not to be trusted. I am not fickle, but I am dangerous. Those who walk my paths take their lives in their hands because I am under the control of none save One. Tell me, what use is trust in something that can be bent to your will?" #MondayFic

Tomorrow's my editing business launch (aka Website Reveal!) I figure I ought to reveal my business name today since I apparently haven't done that yet. I believe great storytelling is a powerful force for good. My business shall henceforth be referred to as IMPACT FICTION.

Something to consider before killing off a redemption arc character right after/as he is redeeming himself (aside from how you’ll make me cry 😂): think of all the DRAMA you miss out on! - Conflict between who he was/is still tempted to be and who he is now/is still trying to be

I've got a "business" account. It sounds very serious, but all it really means is that I'll be doing fun stuff more regularly. If you like discussions about story theory, meaningful book recommendations, and self-editing tips, my alter-ego has got you covered.

I've started an Instagram account for my editing business! If you're part of the #bookstagram community, I'd love to swap stories and share writing discussions with you there! instagram.com/impact_fiction/

WRITERS: for those who have self-published or who are working towards that goal, what are some resources that have helped you in the process? *bonus: what are some general things that someone considering self-pub should know?

Today I'm thankful that God's imagination is broader than mine. What are you thankful for?

Happy book birthday to Sing to Me of Rain by E.B. Dawson! This story is as just as refreshing as it looks. If you love well-written child characters, found-family traveling parties, tough questions, and thoughtful conversations, this story is your friend. #mermay
