Genny: The Future of Reading (Because Kids Don’t Read Anymore)

Let’s talk about attention spans. Or rather, the lack of them.

If you have kids, teenagers, or have simply observed humanity lately, you’ll notice one thing—reading isn’t what it used to be. My stepchildren, for example, are smart, creative, and full of energy… but hand them a book, and suddenly it’s too long, too slow, or competing with the infinite entertainment buffet that is YouTube, TikTok, and gaming.

And honestly? I get it.

Books demand time. They require focus. And in a world where everything is instant, expecting someone to sit down and commit to a full-length novel can feel like asking them to climb a mountain—without Wi-Fi.

So, as an author, I started wondering: What if books could adapt?

That’s how Genny was born.

We created a novel that’s both short and long. A story that lets you decide how much you want to read. If you’re here for the quick version? Boom—short chapters that give you the core of the story. Want to dive deeper? Great—keep reading for the full experience. The choice is yours.

It’s a new kind of reading. One that works for those of us who love books and those who think they don’t have time for them. Because the truth is, storytelling isn’t dying—how we consume it is just changing.

Genny isn’t about replacing traditional books. It’s about giving readers options. Because in the end, it’s not about how long a book is—it’s about whether someone actually finishes it.

So, whether you’re a lifelong book lover or someone who wants to read but struggles to find the time (or attention span), welcome to the future of storytelling.

Because books should fit into our lives—not the other way around.

Between the Lines: A Self-Published Author's Escape

So, here I am. A self-published author, diving into the wild world of blogging because sometimes, you just want to write something that isn’t your book. You know, something that doesn’t require intense plotting, character arcs, or the soul-crushing realization that you’ve written yourself into a corner… again. Don’t get me wrong—I love writing books. I love creating worlds, torturing my characters (and, let’s be honest, myself), and chasing that elusive “perfect” draft. But being a self-published author? That’s a whole different beast. Because guess what? You don’t just write the book. You are the writer, the editor, the marketer, the social media guru, the accountant, the graphic designer, and occasionally, the person questioning every life choice that led to this moment. Oh, and let’s not forget that life doesn’t pause for you to craft your literary masterpiece. No, life is there, waving its arms frantically in the background like an over-caffeinated stage mom. There are kids demandi...

Editing: Or How to Hate Your Own Words in Five Easy Steps

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of finishing a first draft. You sit back, exhausted but proud, thinking, Yes. I have written a book. I am unstoppable. Then, you start editing.

If you’re new to this emotional rollercoaster, don’t worry. I’ve outlined the five simple steps to completely hating your own writing. Step 1: The Re-Read (A.K.A. The "Who Wrote This Garbage?" Phase) You open your draft, expecting brilliance. Instead, you find: A scene you swore was amazing but now reads like a bad soap opera. The same word repeated 47 times on one page  ( Why do my characters constantly ‘sigh’? Are they asthmatic? ). A plot hole so big you could drive a truck through it. You start questioning everything. Did I really write this? Was I drunk ? Should I just delete the entire thing and move ...
