WRITER WEDNESDAY: How to Find A Cover Artist [CC]
Hello, Writer, and welcome back to my life.
It's Writer Wednesday, the day where I give you my tips and advice on the art and the business of writing, and tell you how I do what I do as an indie author.
Today's question comes to us from patron Kristen Stevens, who asks:
How do you find a cover artist that you like?
That's it. That's the question.

VLOG: Don’t Feel Guilty for Being Here
Hello Rebel, and welcome back to my life.
So I took off most of March and half of April to spend time with family. And while I was gone, my YouTube channel passed the 4,000 subscriber mark!
You know what we do when we hit those subscriber milestones. It's time to PARTY!
Just kidding. It's time to take an honest look at our relationship with this platform and envision what it holds for our future.

WRITER WEDNESDAY: How to Get Amazon Reviews
Hello, Writer, and welcome back to my life.
It's Writer Wednesday, the day where I give you my tips and advice on the art and the business of writing, and tell you how I do what I do as an indie author.
Writer Wednesday (and all my videos) are supported by my patrons on Patreon, so if you want to toss me some cash for the advice...do that here.
Today's question comes from patron Ryan Starbloak, who asks:
How do you get more Amazon reviews? It can be very tough when you're first starting out. You ask people, and a very small tiny percentage of them actually do it. Some people will accept a book for review and post review on their blog, not on Amazon. How do you deal with all this stuff?

I Just Kind of Love Comics [CC]
Hello, Rebel, and welcome back to my life. Today I want to talk to you about comics. Comics are something that I love kind of unconditionally, with my whole soul, and I’ve been thinking a lot about why that is. If I happen to go to a comic store or a convention where comics are […]

Is Fast Writing Good Writing?
Hello, Writer, and welcome back to my life. Second Writer Wednesday today! (Catching up on a backlog).
Today's question comes to us from patron @SamReevesArt, who asks:
At what point did you realize that writing quickly could produce good stories, and what triggered that trust?
Warning up front: this answer is inevitably a bit of a ramble. I've been thinking about this a lot.
I've gone through many evolutions in my thoughts and thinking about what makes good writing, and how speed of writing plays into good writing.

Today's question comes to us from patron Kristen Stevens, who asks: "How do you find an editor that you trust?"
Simple question, not the simplest answer in the universe.

Black Panther Is, Like, Important
Hello, Rebel, and welcome back to my life.
On Friday, Meghan and I ran to the theater and saw Black Panther, as did, it seems, just about everyone, considering how many box office records the movie is smashing.

Advice on Getting a Vasectomy
I went to Planned Parenthood and got the old snip-snip a few days ago! They were so helpful and accommodating and they gave me lots of consultation beforehand. But there was still a lot of stuff I wish I knew going into it. Here's my top advice if you, too, are getting a vasectomy.
