Does your title feed curiosity?
Originally posted on Jean's Writing:
Do you need to change the title? Connecting with readers is our goal as writers. So what comes first? The cover or the title? A cover draws the eye to a book, but a title should tweak a reader’s curiosity enough to open that book. I can’t thank everyone enough for their feedback on…
Do you need to start over?
Originally posted on Jean's Writing:
Or maybe you need a jump-start? Here lately, my writing resembled a stalled car with a dead battery. After finishing a couple of projects, I can’t seem to revive a WIP I’d put on a back burner. Seems as if the life support I’ve had this particular WIP is failing. So, I’m toying with pulling the…
Do you have a monster holding you back?
Originally posted on Jean's Writing:
Okay, I’ll fess up! Number two is my biggest issue. I’m so bad at having a dozen tabs open. After checking my emails, I leap from article to article and before I know it the morning is gone. One glance at the clock and I want to kick myself. There…
Please give me your input!

I’m getting close. But I sure could use some feedback. Should I pick one of these or find someone to do a professional cover. Think I’m about ready to do the self-publish route. Please give me your thought! I need some input. Take Our Poll As ever, thanks so…
Writing: Learning the Craft Never Ends
Originally posted on MARSocial Author Business Enhancement Horror Post:
I have always said this and meant it. Yet even knowing this to be true, I still am surprised at learning more lessons! The more we write, the more we learn. It sounds simplistic but it isn’t. Currently, I am writing my fifth novel which begins…
Do you need new ideas?
Originally posted on Jean's Writing:
Sometimes I think we all get stuck for an idea to move us on to a new project or power through a WIP. We all have favorite books. No matter the genre. Books that speak to us and stay with us long after the words “the end.” This is…
Do we ever stop learning?
Originally posted on Jean's Writing:
I don’t think so, not if we want to be good at our craft. That’s why I link back to so many different writers and blogger here at Jean’s Writing. Because I’m still learning. Right along with you. And I want to learn from the best. There is a world-wide…
Do you need a pro or can you DIY?
Originally posted on Jean's Writing:
I’ve read good and bad about both. But there must be a good way to DIY. As a writer, unless we’ve hit the NYT Best Seller list on our first time at bat, we need an affordable good book cover. So how can I do that? One thing I…
Are you sounding like the Little Engine?
Originally posted on Jean's Writing:
“I think I can, I think I can.” That’s been my mantra for so long and yet I feel as though I’m writing in circles. One of my WIP, the story that started it all, is going nowhere. I have so many starts, middles and endings, I can’t make…
Do you want to connect with writers’ groups?
Originally posted on Jean's Writing:
There are a lot of good groups on Facebook. Keeping up with the helpful groups is so important. I can’t tell you how much I learn from other writers and groups such as the one Kelly Gurnett was so kind to put together in one place. A quick reference such…
