Musing Monday: What’s in a name?

So it’s come to my attention that someone is publishing short erotic stories on Amazon, BN.com, etc. using the name “Megan Harten.” This person doesn’t seem to have a website or anything else using this name — like, you know, if it was a real person using a real name. The publisher’s listed as Kay [...]

In which Megan is incensed and procrastinating…

So. What fuckery is THIS? Let me say, first of all, that I’ve been using the Kindle self-publishing program for a few years now. My experience with self-publishing has been fine. I prefer traditional publishing in which I get paid money up front, sometimes before I’ve written the book, but I also do like that [...]

Why I don’t have a “For Writers” section on my website.

Well, because frankly, I can’t learn you nothin’ on how to write. I can’t teach you how to write. I can’t teach you how to get published. I can’t teach you how to get an agent. I can’t teach you anything. You can either write, or you can’t. Oh, sure, you can get better over [...]

I am replete with ennui

This is supposed to be a “work” week. I am actually at the beach for week number two, the first being “vacation” — in which I actually wrote! But what can I say, strike when the iron’s hot or whatever. I was inspired. But now, here I am, and I’m supposed to be working because [...]

By any other name…

I’ve been thinking about something. Names for characters. The last book I finished was erotic fiction for Spice; now I’ve flipped to a book I wrote a few months ago which is…honestly, not sure what it is. Suspense-ish. And after that, I’m going to write my second book for MIRA, which is also not erotic [...]

I don’t review books.

I read books. I love many of them. Some of them I do not love. Some of them I don’t finish. Some of them I tear up and put through a shredder because they are so awful. But I don’t review them. Why? Because I write books. And while I am a reader too, the [...]

This is what it looks like when authors cry…

…the writing has been brutal.

It shouldn’t be so hard, should it?!

I hate to exercise. I’m basically a couch slug. (You can ask my dad, he’ll agree.) It’s not that I don’t like doing “stuff” — I like walking TO places. I don’t like to hike, but if I have someplace to get to, sure, I’ll walk. I don’t like walking aimlessly, I guess. I have [...]

Writing Life

Not gonna complain. I get to wear sweatpants to “work.” And drink coffee all day and never leave my house. I get to listen to my music really loud and dance around when I want to. I can take a smoke break whenever  I need one (I don’t smoke) and I don’t have anyone hovering [...]

Abducted.

So, last night I went to bed late-ish, but not too late. I must’ve fallen asleep pretty hard, because I dreamed right away. I won’t get into the details, but it involved one word being repeated over and over. I dreamed about a sewer, too, and something scary, and woke unexpectedly. Which was fine, except [...]
