She’s Baaaack …

Written by Nina on January 18, 2013 - 16 Comments
Categories: goals, Personal

Whew, life has been throwing me some interesting curve balls as of late and truthfully … I haven’t handled them well. Just about 2 1/2 years ago Mr. Nina was downsized from a job he’d had for over 20 years. Despite the blow to his ego, the change had been one that needed to happen. [...]

Do You Want Fries With That?

Written by Nina on August 20, 2012 - 4 Comments
Categories: goals, Ramblings, Writing

Over the years I’ve had numerous jobs. And when I say numerous … I mean like over 50. Really. I’m the female version of George Plimpton. (Only he was into sports. And a writer. And he made TONS of money … but you know… kinda like him.) Anyway, I started working when I was 15 at [...]

Ringing in the New Year with New Goals

Written by Nina on January 4, 2012 - 4 Comments
Categories: Curiosity, goals, Life Observations, Personal

*Nina slides in breathless* I know I’m very late getting back to my blog after the holidays. It just seems I’m having a hard time rolling into 2012. I don’t have any more excuses reasons than any other woman who has a family and holiday responsibilities. Yep, Mr. Nina and I managed to have a wonderful [...]

Just a Little Update

Written by Nina on December 21, 2011 - 2 Comments
Categories: goals, Kindle, Marketing, Self-Publishing, Writing

With so many authors jumping into the self-publishing pond, I thought I’d share my experience. First of all, let me just say, if you weren’t already aware … I found the trek from writer to publisher to be a very steep climb. We’re talking ice crampons, ropes and pick axes (can you tell I’m doing [...]

The Bumpy Road to Publication

Written by Nina on October 17, 2011 - 26 Comments
Categories: E-Books, goals, Opinions

There are so many choices for new authors who want to see their book in the hands of a smiling reader. The road to publication no longer follows a straight path to NY. It is often a twisting maze of luck and perseverence. With new publishing houses popping up every day and other publishers imploding, [...]

A Month of Sundays

Written by Nina on February 6, 2011 - 4 Comments
Categories: elloras cave, Excerpts, eye candy, goals, Personal, Shifting Bonds

Since time flies so quickly I’ve decided to take time the first Sunday of every month and sort of “assess” where the last month has taken me both professionally and personally. That way, when the year is over, I won’t wonder if I actually managed to accomplish anything. I’ll know I’ve actually enjoyed the year! [...]

Categories: Family, goals, Life Observations

Whew! I love the holiday season. i really enjoy spending time with my family. But I gotta tell you, by the time New Year’s is over and the Christmas decorations packed away for another year … I’m ready to collapse! Of course this year was even crazier with Mr. Nina being several states away, our [...]

Afraid? Who Me?

Written by Nina on December 1, 2010 - 18 Comments
Categories: Curiosity, goals, Writing

Okay, I’m just going to come right out and say it … I’m a scaredy cat. Flat out, yellow bellied wuss of the nth degree. And yes, that includes horror movies and ghost stories. But that’s not the fear I’m chatting about today. I’m talking about the fear of failure. Now don’t get me wrong [...]

And Just a Little Update

Categories: goals, Personal, Ramblings

What am I up to? Hmmm … my first answer is, not much, but then I wonder why my day at the computer starts at 9ish in the morning and ends well after 10. Must mean up doing something. *g* Let’s see if I can catch you up a little. First and foremost I’m working [...]

I Can't Chew it All!

Written by Nina on January 26, 2009 - 10 Comments
Categories: goals, Writing

*deep calming breath* Really, I feel like I’m treading through molasses and not getting anywhere … fast! I know I’m not any different than every other writer out there trying to balance their real life with the world their building in their books. But sometimes life stuff just tumbles on top of itself and I [...]
