Doing What Brings Joy

Posted on September 11, 2022July 11, 2022 by Andy

It less than a week ago when I posted about being stuck. My new project was giving me fits. It wasn’t “writer’s block”. Personally I thing the whole writer’s block idea is a bunch of crap. That doesn’t mean writing something can’t be a chore. It’s just harder to write when the inspiration isn’t there….

Stuck Sucks! and No It’s Not “Writer’s Block”

Posted on July 6, 2022 by Andy

Truth be told, I want to get on with writing this morning but I’m a bit stuck on my current project. As I mentioned before it is a new genre – for me anyway, I’m sure someone has written something similar before. I’ve been plugging along on it for a while now. That’s the key…

Writing – When To Bring in the Betas

Posted on June 25, 2022 by Andy

I am posting this mostly for my own information. At this point I am working on a new project. It is in the beginning stages so I have no idea when I will get to the point where I can reveal any details but I absolutely want to involve some beta readers. If you don’t…

My First Goodreads Review and My Response

Posted on June 20, 2022June 20, 2022 by Andy

UPDATE: Both the review and my reply are gone! Imagine that. Maybe two hours after I publish my reply, they decided to pull the review. Huh. I’m leaving this post.   My first goodreads review is posted below. She wasn’t exactly kind. I debated as to whether to respond. Goodreads recommends against it. Still, it…

June 9 – Where Do I Go From Here?

Posted on June 9, 2022 by Andy

I actually started a similar post a few days ago. That one may never see the light of day. A great deal of my writing ends up in my own personal Twilight Zone. Once I get it out, I have no need to share it. None of that is intentional. It just is. So here…

Articles on Substack

Posted on June 7, 2022 by Andy

On Saturday, June 4, I posted my first article on Substack. Oh the mental gymnastics I put myself through! Okay, yeah, so much drama, but really it caused me a bit of consternation. I’ve been mulling over this idea for a few days or so now. At first I’d thought to deploy Substack to promote…

Spreading My Wings

Posted on May 29, 2022May 24, 2022 by Andy

During the past couple of weeks, I’ve been checking out various outlets for my works. Some of  you already know about my woes with hubpages. While that post says “finale”, I’m still sparring with at least one member of the hp “team”. At this point it’s just the principle of the thing. They keep wanting…

Hubpages Finale

Posted on May 6, 2022May 6, 2022 by Andy

So at least I can say the “Hub Pages Team” responded in a timely manner. Good on them. Here is what they had to say…   Hello, While we do not allow for self-promotion, you can add a link to your personal blog in your bio which readers can then click on. You can find…

Hubpages Woes

Posted on May 4, 2022 by Andy

Don’t ask what I really wanted to title this post. And yes I am steaming. After posting my sixth exclusive article on hubpages I get this email:   A link to your Hub: What I Learned Selling Final Expense Insurance Dear AndrewHavens, We wanted to let you know that What I Learned Selling Final Expense…

WOW! I Thought I Posted This…

Posted on May 2, 2022May 2, 2022 by Andy

This may be a big yawn to you but I’m happy. I just checked on goodreads and found I had another four-star rating. This makes 2/2 and they are both FOUR stars! That is four out of five. To me, this is far better than a 5/5 rating. Why? Because it tells me whoever posted…
