31 Days of Author Madness: J. M. Butler

March 3, 2018, Author: Kristin Jacques

The Fiver 1. What is your writing process? My writing process varies a lot, but at a minimum it involves putting words into some sort of document. Sometimes I act out scenes before I draft them, other times I brew a nice cup of tea and curl up with a book that I love. Other […]

31 Days of Author Madness: Angela B.M. Guajardo

March 2, 2018, Author: Kristin Jacques

The Fiver 1. What is your writing process? Oh, goodness. Brainstorm, write notes in tiny, scratchy handwriting that grows progressively smaller as ideas pop up faster and faster. Then there’s a point where I have to yell at one cat or another to stop chewing on the spiral binding, or stop trying to eat my […]

31 Days of Author Madness: Leigh W. Stuart

March 1, 2018, Author: Kristin Jacques

The Fiver 1. What is your writing process? My process is currently up in the air, but I’ve always flirted with some form or other of outlining. Sometimes, I’ll jot a couple pages of notes, other times, I’ll fill half a notebook of chapter/scenes to do. No matter what, though, I always know the ending […]

February Blues

February 14, 2018, Author: Kristin Jacques

This month started with such promise …. Until I became a flu-ridden, wheezing, clammy mouth breather. Welcome to the wonders of Winter, where your children are walking petri dishes and life likes to taken sudden unexpected pivots into waiting ditches. I’ve spent the last solid week and a half laid under hard, first […]

Bear With Me Now…

January 20, 2018, Author: Kristin Jacques

Our apartment is currently undergoing an infestation. The bears….the bears are everywhere…. Let’s give this some context amirite? So, my six year old has a snatching problem. He likes to hold little objects in his hands, and often, they make their way into his pockets. This started, full force, this school year, and (thankfully) […]

What’s In A Year?

January 10, 2018, Author: Kristin Jacques

I have big writing plans for this year. Big, glorious plans. I always start the year with big plans and when December inevitably rolls around I look back on my year of plans and laugh and laugh and laugh before I roll in a sobbing ball for a few hours. I think most writers plan […]

Fav Reads of 2017

December 30, 2017, Author: Kristin Jacques

Somehow I read about 53 books this year. I know, shocker. Actually, this is about average for me. I do heavy reading in spurts, and usually I read to escape/ rest my brain. I also reread a lot, either because my sieve like memory forgets things or because I loved the story so much I […]

2018 Writing Plans: How we gonna torture ourselves this year?

December 19, 2017, Author: Kristin Jacques

The Year is Ending 2017 is rapidly winding down. (Good riddance. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.) In the spirit of the approaching New Year, it is time to set impossibly lofty writing goals for myself that I can weep over when next December rolls around. This year, I totally […]

December 14, 2017, Author: Kristin Jacques

I can’t support this tweet enough. The holiday season can be tight for many reasons. Unexpected expenses pop up, you always seem to spend more than you mean to, and something in the house always seems to sputter out. The spirit of generosity is a beautiful thing, but generosity does not have to mean […]
