Promo…ugh…

Posted by Kim Law Feb 11 2013, 12:01 am in Facebook, goodreads, promo, social media, Twitter

Book promo…author promo…just jab a needle in my eye and make it stop OK, maybe it’s not quite that bad, but promo is a necessary evil, right? We all have to do it! And who of use really likes it? I would venture to guess, very few of us. So…since it’s likely very few people’s [...]

Ruby Release: SUGAR SPRINGS

Posted by Kim Law Jan 2 2013, 12:01 am in contemporary, new releases, Ruby Release, small-town

Welcome to Sugar Springs! My second book, SUGAR SPRINGS, released over the holidays, and though it was a bit overwhelming to have a book release on the same day that I was at my family’s house celebrating Christmas and opening presents, I did manage to enjoy both events!

Happy Wednesday everyone, and have I got a treat for you! A few years ago I had the pleasure of meeting today’s guest and spending the weekend with her. And let me just say, she is FABULOUS! And she’s also highly motivating. It was purely due to her that I finally figured out how to [...]

What Makes a Scene?

Posted by Kim Law Aug 20 2012, 12:01 am

I’m back at it again, here to show my crazy analytical side. Today I have a spreadsheet I often use for scene creation. Not for every scene, mind you, and I don’t always fill out all details. But it is always my backup plan when the scene I’m working on just isn’t coming together or [...]

Posted by Kim Law Jun 20 2012, 12:01 am

Two Birds, One Stone…The Treadmill Desk

Posted by Kim Law Apr 11 2012, 12:01 am

Sitting too long raises death risk. Yep, got my attention too! Even scarier, sitting is so detrimental, its effects are almost impossible to exercise away. The percent rises about twice as much for women than it does for men. And the least active women in the study who also reported the highest amount of sitting [...]

Reading Your Manuscript Out Loud

Posted by Kim Law Feb 20 2012, 12:01 am

In preparing for today’s blog (and while working through edits lately), I decided to pull out a post I did a while ago on reading your manuscript out loud. Time often gets short for edits, and reading out loud is not a fast experience, but one I continue to highly encourage. It’s potentially a matter between having [...]
