Too many plates

4/2/2020

Comments

 
I have a problem. And while to some this may not sound like a problem, it's definitely a problem for me. Because here's the thing: I have too many ideas. 
Like I said, some of you might not see why that's a bad thing, but let me tell you. If I could stick with just one, I probably wouldn't be sitting here writing a blog post because I would be too busy working on said idea and creating the next story. The problem is I have so many ideas that all want my full attention that I can't focus on just one, so I'm not really getting anything done. Wanna know all my projects that are floating around in my head right now?
  • Book 4 of the Simple Love series
  • A Robin Hood retelling that is just way too much fun
  • A superhero/X-men type sci-fi that is far more action-based than what I usually write
  • A Pride and Prejudice adaptation that again is way too much fun
  • A western with a female outlaw and a clumsy bounty hunter who has no clue what he's doing
  • A gazillion short stories about the Simple Love boys who all think they need to tell their own stories
  • A time travel romance
  • The first of a spin-off series from the Simple Love Stories
  • A Mulan retelling with a murderous twist
  • And so many more
This is why it's a problem, not a blessing, because all of these things are far too intriguing for me to put them on the back-burner, which means I feel like I'm trying to cook a dozen dishes on one single flame and expecting everything to come out perfectly cooked.
Somebody send help!
Or maybe just tell me to close my eyes and point, and stick with that until it's actually finished. Pin the plotline on the story, anyone?
Needless to say, there's plenty more coming, and as soon as I can actually sit myself down to work on something, I'll have the next book out there in the world for me to grin at because I made a thing and it's pretty.

Are you a multi-tasker or a one-at-a-time kinda person? Let me know down in the comments!

Who doesn't love free stuff? 
I know I sure love it. And the beautiful thing about the writing community is how much authors are willing to help each other along. So I've joined up with some fellow billionaire romance writers, since they clearly know what's up, and now there are a whole bunch of stories you can get for free! How cool is that?

​The best part--they're all clean! You won't have to worry about stuff being there that you don't want to be reading.

Check out the link below

This promotion is good from February 16th to March 4th, so make sure you get your free stories before it's too late!

But that's not all! There's also this big group of romances that'll be free from now until March 1st:

An out of place millennial

You know what's hard? Technology. Technology is hard. And yes, I was born deep in the heart of millennial territory, and yes, if made to choose a label, that is what I would pick. But when it comes to technology and computers and figuring out all of this fancy stuff (like websites and blogs and newsletters), I am completely at a loss. I barely know how to use Instagram, and that's supposed to be easy!

But I'm doing my very best, and in the weirdest way I feel like I'm an old dog being taught new tricks.

I'm not old. I promise. Or maybe I am. Age is relative, after all.

So with every passing day as I step deeper into this book world, I'm having to learn new things, and it's a little bit terrifying and overwhelming and exciting, and I'm probably going to do many things wrong. That's just how it goes when you don't take to the tech world super easily. I never did like my STEM classes, which is how I ended up a writer instead of a veterinarian which was my plan for an embarrassingly long time.

So bear with me, friends. We'll get there together. Now if someone could just show me how to use those silly little filters on my Insta story...

A little about me...

Hey! I'm Dana. I've been telling stories my whole life (even if I was my only audience sometimes), and there's something about writing and giving life to characters that gives ME life, so it's not something I will ever stop doing.

I have a BA in Creative Writing from Southern Utah University, and I am where I am because of professors there who helped me expand my potential when it came to writing and editing.

If I'm not writing (which is almost constantly, sometimes even while I'm doing other things), I'm often outside. I was raised to enjoy camping, hiking, backpacking, whitewater rafting, and even just sitting out in the fresh air, and I've had many a story idea while out in the wilderness.
If I'm not writing or outside, I'm baking, and I've always thought owning a bakery would be fun (until I realize that wouldn't leave any time for writing). So I bake for myself and my roommate, and I'm honestly surprised neither of us has gotten fat yet.
​

I'm a firm believer that everyone has a story inside them, and no matter how you share that story with the world, it's one that is worth telling.
