About the Science: The Island Experiment

On December 21, 2019December 20, 2019 By Erica RueIn Blog, Kepos ChroniclesLeave a comment

I have to say, nature is even wilder than the imagination. I really enjoyed dreaming up creatures to inhabit the island, but real life had plenty of inspiration for me to draw from. If you haven’t read the book yet, be warned that there are spoilers below! Grab a copy of The Island Experiment (Kepos …

Nanowrimo Bujo: My Novel Bullet Journal

On October 30, 2019October 30, 2019 By Erica RueIn Blog1 Comment

I’m super excited to share this because I think it will help me write faster and more consistently. I might end up completely wrong about this, but either way, it’s going to be a fun experiment. I’m going to participate in nanowrimo this year. Despite having a bunch of publishing tasks for The Island Experiment …

Plotting Tip: Pen and Paper

On October 27, 2019October 28, 2019 By Erica RueIn BlogLeave a comment

I took an unintentionally long hiatus from my blog posts during October. A combination of being sick all month, not sleeping because my son’s also been sick, and a hard deadline of getting The Island Experiment (Kepos Chronicles, Book 3) to my wonderful editor, I’ve been at capacity. Now that the book is off my …

How to Sew a Simple Fabric Bookmark

On September 15, 2019 By Erica RueIn BlogLeave a comment

I bought my first (and only) sewing machine on a whim. It was a Black Friday deal on Amazon in 2015. I’d always wanted to be able to sew, and my mom had helped me make a few things in the past, but really, it was wishful thinking. I had no immediate plans to sew …

Try New Things

On August 25, 2019 By Erica RueIn BlogLeave a comment

Today's a short post because I spent my blog post writing time messing around with GIMP. For those who don't know, GIMP functions a lot like Photoshop, but it's free. I have no regrets. As an indie author, I'm used to doing a lot of things myself. I don't have a publisher to do editing, …

Ghostwriting: Should you sign your name?

On July 14, 2019 By Erica RueIn BlogLeave a comment

Today’s post might be a bit controversial. It about ghostwriting, and whether it’s a good thing. In my opinion, it depends, though I’m wary of the practice. When I think of ghostwriters, typically, I think of celebrities (or sometimes non-celebrities) who have a personal story or memoir to share, or an expert in a certain …

Writers Are Readers: Beach Week Edition

On June 23, 2019 By Erica RueIn BlogLeave a comment

I am sitting on a comfy couch in the top floor of a beach house, enjoying the chunk of time that exists between my son’s bedtime and my own. I’ve only been here a day, but I’m already diving into my beach reading. Some people might like to read one book at a time, but …

Six Tips for Book Signings

On April 28, 2019April 28, 2019 By Erica RueIn Blog2 Comments

Yesterday I was with my writing group, The Hourlings, selling our books at Manassas Reads. I’m going to share a few things that I learned. This is not an exhaustive list, but it's a start based on my experience yesterday. 1. Prepare for the elements. We were selling under a covered pavilion, so we had …
