I survived

After putting off all writing for three days to sit through the mega-storm… I was a tad disappointed to just have an ordinary story. As weird as that sounds. Anti-climax is a thing, and it can be just as annoying in real life as it is in fiction. As for me, I’m getting the back […]

It’s that time again…

All around me, my fellow writers are prepping for NaNoWriMo. And while I adore NaNo, I haven’t done it for a few years. I’m pretty good about pushing myself by myself. I don’t affirmation to write anymore. But then I started thinking about how great it would be to get ahead on my Chelsea Childling […]

It’s the first Monday of the month!

Yes, it’s that time again. Chelsea Time! At noon today, you can read the next chapter in my ongoing flash series about a totally normal, non-magically enhanced human, who is learning to hunt and fight monsters. But other than that? Nope, not much. The webcomic is still on hiatus (Miss Ashley Jane got a paying gig!) […]

I have no idea what this blog post will be about

Yes,  I am writing, and reading for my betas, and being a full-time mom. So I should have lots to talk about right? Well… I am writing, but I’m drafting and editing doorstoppers.  Long, detailed, slow paced novels full of twists and turns and characters that most people haven’t read, and which I haven’t published. […]

Hmmm…

So the betas are all over Red Witch, and a few are even combing The Haven again. But these are dense books that require concentration… and Red Witch is still finding it’s way, and that’s a long complicated process that will take years to finish… In other words,  I’m bored. This isn’t to knock my […]

Reawakening

It happened slowly, and then all at once. One day I was lamenting relearning to slow my prose, and the next I had a list of fifteen names for background characters that I knew I would maybe use two of during the actual writing. It sounds ridiculous, but everybody who writes an epic has those […]

The thing about wolves…

While very few people have read my first novel  (I pulled it down for editing… Kate is not an editor, as my long time readers know very, very well), most people who read this blog are at least passingly familiar with my shorts, novellas, and webcomic.   I have a few themes that all unite […]

Hey Monday

Spent the weekend being beachy. As in, I went to the beach.   Unfortunately, my super-sensitive baby skin is my undoing. I’m having a nasty reaction to the sand lice bites. My feet are swollen, red, and itchy. And I don’t handle anti-histamines well. So, I’m going to finish writing the next Chelsea Childling story, […]
