Scribe Hive Authors’ Blog
Welcome to the shared blog of the Scribe Hive authors. We’re glad you are here.
The Perfect Con for Me
How did I cure my imposter syndrome slash writer’s block? I attended a Fantasy Writer’s Conference held in Nashville Tennessee called UTOPiAcon. Sadly, it is the last year for this brilliant team to get together, and while I regret my late entrance to the event, I...
What’s your truth?
What is your Truth, with a capital T? Your big ultimate Truth? It is important to know this, as it relates to your Trust Pillar. (See my last blog post.) This brings me into a lot of questions I get. Was Magdalene a priestess of Isis? Did she come here from a far off...
Nashville or Bust
Just over a year and a half ago we formed a writing group. Writing refugees from another. Within a month or two we were on a mission to help each other through the Self Publishing process, support each other in completing our projects, surviving the editing stage, and...
A Brave New Con
A few of us Scribe Hivers are going to be at UtopiaCon in Nashville later this month, June 21-22. Please join us there!! This is, literally, my first rodeo as an author and I’m a little bit panicked. I’ve been to cons in my far distant youth, but the culture has...
Millstones & Milestones
Life is fleeting. We all know this. One moment, you’re bringing your children to their first day at school. Blink … and the next moment your children are learning to spread their wings. Graduating school. Their courage inspires you. You wonder at the ease with which...
So I’ve been thinking…
Why bother? I get at least 15 emails a day telling me how to write stories, how to publish, how to ‘sell yourself’, how to get a web presence… Seriously. This publishing and selling stories thing is a mind blower. I am going to be 68 in a week, I don’t have time to...
About Comfort
How important is it? We hear a lot about comfort. We all want a comfortable bed and comfortable shoes. We want to spend time with the people who already know and "get" us, and who we know and "get". We tend towards tasks, goals, activities that we already enjoy and...
Life’s Paradox
I want to talk about a paradox. The paradox of life to be exact. We come into life with awe and amazement. Or, dread and “oh crap what did I get myself into!” As a mother of two, I have seen this look on each of my child's faces. I laugh to myself knowing all too well...
Goals…
I apologize. Too long between blog posts. To be honest I have “just published not sure what to do next” syndrome. This issue? I am an introvert and marketing my book terrifies me. I’ve done a few small ads on Meta. I need to do live feeds on FB, my website blog and...
Breaking The ‘Rules’
So, here I sit, day 5 editing my first draft. Before it’s even finished. Yeah, that’s right, I’m a badass rule breaker. They, whoever they are, say when you’re writing your first draft you should just ‘vomit’ on the page. Gross, I know. But their point is to just get...
The Best Plans
You may remember that I am on a road trip with my love and two dogs. The reasons for the trip included a niece's wedding, attempted book tour, and a general itch to travel and be out of our cozy (read: small) house. The first part of the journey included exploring...
Relaunches & New editions
The pandemic months and years were a time of solitude and awakening for me. I worked online with my spiritual teacher, Kathleen Milner, and upgraded my spiritual attunements. It was a time of contemplation and meditation for me. Like the world, I went still. My...
