ISBN Changes
Or…The Dragon wants you to know about the new ISBN for Choices Meant for Gods

At the turn of the year, ISBNs (the numbers used to track books) went from ten digits to thirteen. So! If you possess an original bookmark for Choices Meant for Gods with original artwork by Megan Kissinger, it will list the ten-digit ISBN 1-59507-165-2. That has changed.

The new ISBN for Choices Meant for Gods is as follows:

978-1-59507-165-1

Write it down. Take it with you to Barnes & Noble, Borders, Hastings, Mina Hemingway’s Florida Book Store, The Harry Potter Book Spot, The Children of Hurin Shop Here for Books Store, or wherever you like to look for great fantasy books, and see if the manager can find Sandy Lender’s Choices Meant for Gods yet! Or you could save the gas money and call instead…

We’re still looking at the actual release in March or April, but a pre-order is never a bad thing! Surely you want to be the first on your block to read about Nigel and Chariss and the prophecy that throws them into turmoil in Southeast Onweald!

“Some days, you just want the dragon to win.”

J.K. Rowling has Writer’s Block??
Or…what’s your muse up to?

Look, if 2.9 million copies of Choices Meant for Gods were guaranteed to fly off the shelves the way 2.9 million copies of Harry Potter are supposed to fly off the shelves this July, you can best bet there would be no problem with writer’s block in my writing den. Dude. I have no problem with writer’s block on a bad day. I can’t imagine it descending upon me when I’ve just been listed as one of the wealthiest women in the world—that would be up there with the Waltons and the Queen of England.

So. The topic of this article is “what’s up with your muse” because I’m curious about this. How many writers out there struggle to get started writing each day? How many of you find it difficult to come up with a new idea or a new plotline or a new character? How many of you, seriously, ever suffer from writer’s block?

See…I never do. Maybe it’s the pictures of John Taylor in all his hotness plastered around my writing den that keep the creativity stoked. Maybe it’s the pictures of dragons. Maybe it’s the candles I light when I want to work on the medieval-themed stories. Oh, wait. I may have just stumbled upon it. The medieval-themed stories versus the regular-ol’-fantasy stories versus the vampire stories versus the paranormal romance stories (oh, yeah, for some reason, my face-to-face visit with my muse on December 15 struck the paranormal romance chord in my brain and I wrote one of those novels…now I can’t stop) versus flash fiction stories versus stories for eBooks that my online writers group puts together from time to time versus…

Do you see where I’m going with this? I don’t have time for writer’s block.

So tell me if there really are “real people” like you and me who suffer from this. And what do you do to overcome it? Because, hey, I could post an article about tickling the muse tomorrow if we need to. I mean, the idea of throwing John Taylor to the floor here in the den and tickling him is fabulous. And, with that thought in mind, I feel the need to go write…
