Today’s #AuthorAugust22 asked: Scheduled writing time or whenever the muse strikes?
I have a schedule like this: Get words down during the day, using whatever time I can, and I usually have a good chunk of time in the morning. When I came back to writing, I’d get up at 5 am each day and get words down (I don’t think you have to get up early to write; this is what helped me add another ball into the air…it’s about making it a priority, not about tormenting yourself) anyways… that’s a writing schedule. Still, I am on the hunt for some tool that’d make my life easier, to schedule posts and NL swaps.
Because I need a new system, and I think when I mentioned this before, people thought I was joking. I’m not. I have missed two social media things, and I missed sharing Loren Beeson’s newest release, not once but twice in my newsletter! How crummy is that? My sincere apologies to Loren. One More Kiss: A Fake Dating Age Gap is available on Kindle and KU. I can’t wait to read it!
So, I need some tool…is it a physical planner? A physical calendar? I don’t know; I need to be visual that sorts out things like FB parties and NL swaps because my system right now is horrible. I draft it in my Gmail and tried to connect to my Google Calendar, but that hasn’t worked with high success. Stuff like this is how my disabled self shows up, too, because adding things to a schedule and a system is all kind of murky until I figure out a way to add the ball in; like, I did with making writing a priority. I know that having something on my phone doesn’t work – it’s too easily ignored and I put my phone on silent a lot, unless I’m out with the cubs or something. Open to ideas, friends.
This Feature Friday is One More Kiss: A Fake Dating Age-Gap Romance, Topica Bay #1, check it out!

I’m homeless in paradise.
What’s a girl to do when her stepfather cuts her off from the family finances?
Accept an offer to room with a sexy—albeit grumpy—divorcé, of course. Damon Carlisle just might have it all. He’s a senior developer of one of the hottest dating apps in the country for starters, and he’s got that whole twelve-years-older-than-me, broody-loner thing going for him. But going through a breakup means I’m in need of a solo vacation, and I won’t be giving in to temptation where Damon’s concerned. This heart of mine is closed for the summer, and no amount of fake dating is going to fix it.
When it rains, it pours.
Not always a bad thing, right? I’m on a two-week beach vacation—away from my cheating ex-wife—and soaking up the sun. Bonus, I’m set to accept an award for the countless hours and dedication I’ve given to my team. But while I should be elated… I feel utterly empty.
When Kate dances her way into what’s supposed to be my chance at a little R & R, something dormant inside my soul awakens. Having fun with her isn’t part of our agreement, and kissing her certainly isn’t either. But I can’t help myself. I can’t get enough of Miss Katelynn Harris, and she just might ruin me.
**One More Kiss is a full-length standalone summer romance and can be enjoyed in any reading order.
