Office Warrior Connection - June is for Bullet Journaling
The Office Warrior Connection is where authors and office warriors can go to find tips and tricks for using Microsoft OneNote and other software. Learn how to use OneNote to set up an editing notebook and take your novel from a rough draft to a polished diamond. In May I published a post every day offering a strategy each day that can be used to finish a novel and prepare it for sharing with the world. In June, I am sharing ways to create an electronic bullet journal. I provide instructions and thoughts about how you might adapt the ideas to make them your own, and I've shared all my OneNote templates so you can download them to get started.

Andrew and Evan are teen conspiracy theorists looking for adventure. They would like nothing more than to confirm the no-fly zone near their New Mexico homes is another alien cover-up by the government and not some guy in a tin-foil hat. Sneaking in to have a little look around a secret biome where deadly crops are being engineered might not be the best idea they've had all summer.
Dr. Carrel, an employee of the bioscience company that owns the dome, has stolen documents that could reveal the vegetables being created will have deadly ramifications around the world. Carrel is en route to the desert facility to warn the unwitting scientists they aren't creating a better bio-fuel or corn to feed the masses. But if the scientists stop working, it will cost billions of dollars, and the company won't let that happen.
After Andrew and Evan sneak past an electric fence and a helicopter armed with soldiers toting mean-looking guns, they unknowingly cross paths with Carrel. Carrel covertly passes the memory card holding the information that can expose the company, and when Andrew is mistaken for being a cohort of Carrel's, he gets shot by security.
The fate of millions rests on the hands of two teens who don't even know they have a part to play. They're going to have to fight through their pain and fear to make their way to the dome, or all of humanity is going to pay the price.

Word for Writers: Headers and Footers (Released June, 2018)
Word for Writers: Headers and Footers is now available for download! It is currently available at Smashwords.
Indie authors often struggle with the production side of creating their books. I wrote this guide for the Indie Author community that I am so proud to be a part of after responding to a plea for help from a struggling writer. The book provides support on Microsoft Word's tools for creating headers and footers for print copy production. It will help you take the guesswork out of adding page numbers and page titles.
Emerging authors on a budget can watch for another guide coming soon about using Microsoft OneNote for plotting and keeping story notes about characters, scene, and more.
Is there something you struggle with when using Word or OneNote? Drop me a line! I'm happy to help if I'm able.

Short stories and other random musings
Not only do I work on short stories during Camp NaNoWriMo, but I also try to write something at least once a month the rest of the year. For camp, you get to decide the word count and challenge yourself to write all month, shooting for your daily word count so I get anywhere from 6-8 done, along with editing whatever current novel I have in progress. My stories here are not edited, so don't be too critical! The following are out for publication, but you can read the start of each story here.
