5/19/25 It's An Author's Life

I am writing this post as we prepare for a severe weather day today. Hopefully, it will wait until after school is out and the kids are home safe and sound. The prediction is tornadoes and hail up to softball size that could start after 2:00 p.m. (CST). Right now, the humidity is so thick out there that you could cut it with a knife.

I am late in posting as this morning I attended an award ceremony at the high school. My youngest granddaughter received an award for English II! I am so proud of her and all her accomplishments recognized or not.

As for last week, I attended the monthly CROW lunch and meeting in Edmond on Saturday.  Cameron Sutter, the creator of Plottr, did a presentation on the software. It is a tool authors can use to keep their stories organized, especially good to use as a series bible. Cameron also said it is good for both plotters and pantsers (which is what I pretty much am). There is also another tool called StorySnap, which when you upload your completed manuscript it will sort out all the beats, etc., and the results can be downloaded to either Plottr or as a Word document. I’m on the fence as to how it would work for me, but I might try the 30 day free trial to plan my next book.

That’s it for now. Have a great week!

I can never thank you enough for continuing to read these snippets into my life as an author. I hope I haven’t bored you too much with them. ðŸ˜Š After all, others’ lives are never as glamorous as we may think.

May your Kindle or bookshelf overflow with great books to read!
