Rolling Along in 2015

Hi folks,

I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything. My apologies for that, life got in the way of my writing--2nd job, family illnesses and downright winter blues. Yep, all of that since November. But with the start of a new year, January saw relief from much of that. The family is doing well, and my writing has picked back up, along with getting back on schedule with my writing group.

One of the ladies in my writing group told me about a lady she knows who does great graphics and especially book covers. I hope to get in contact with her for some work. I'm writing Part 1 of a science fiction novel, which my writing group says is one of my best writings to date. Whew! Love to hear that; it means I'm learning, applying what I learn, which means I'm growing as a writer. Pray it continues.

I hope everyone else if having a great start to the new year. Look forward in 2015 to seeing more issues of  #Hoodratzinspace, the comic book series I wrote with the Erik Reeves (see his work @ErikReevesart) and a lot of short stories and poems on tumblr. Stay tuned.

Fall is Almost Here and Hoodratz In Space #3 begins Production

Cooler temps. Color-rich leaves. Football games and comic books!

Early this year, Hoodratz In Space Issue 2 came out and delighted fans with its vivid artwork and moving story line. With the beginning of Fall, comic book artist Erik Reeves has begun work on Hoodratz In Space Issue 3. This third installment will be action packed, getting into the heart of the story with the girls making their way in space to find the leader of the Aocks!

To get caught up, visit my website, www.jackiecannon.com, to purchase Issues 1 and 2 of Hoodratz In Space.


Also in the works, my horror short story, which I'll soon preview here on my blog. 

Stay tuned.

Finding out how to write when "life" takes over

When "life" takes over, it's difficult to keep your mind focused on writing. And when you do sit down to write, it's hard to get the flow going because your mind is running 90 mph thinking of all the stuff you have to remember to do. So, how to get the flow going?

For me, it takes having something peaceful, calming to look at. The calendars in my writing room contain island, beach and mountain images. Heck, even my desktop scene often flows between river scenes, lakes, white-sand beaches and snow-capped mountains; anything to help slow the flow of head traffic in my mind so I can focus on the one scene that I want to complete for that writing session.

Typically, I stare at the painting, get that image firmly in mind, then close my eyes and count backward from twenty to one (starting at ten just isn't long enough for me!). And I focus on the numbers, picturing then in mind too as I count down. Then, I open my eyes, read the last paragraph of the copy that comes before where I need to start writing and force the fingers to start tapping. When my life is that harried at that point in time, hey, I'm happy if I've done six sentences! At least I wrote that day and put something down on paper. For me, that is a sense of accomplishment. What's yours?
