Getting in the mood

Pulling ahead of my professional obligations ahead of an incoming ‘blizzard’ means I have some time to work on my novel this weekend. While snow might be coming for me, the cold definitely is. So I’ve Audra’s Pandora station running while I get to work on Red Witch. I’m hoping to finish this chapter today, and […]

Collaboration!

Met with Miss Ashley today regarding our comics. Yes, plural, we’re planning on a second one. One of the shorts I keep mentioning is for her, regarding her original characters, world, and story. We spent some time today discussing characters, story philosophy, and symbolism. All of which we need to be on the same page […]

So today…

I had a sick baby to take care of. Not the ten year old is baby, or really needed more than water, lunch, and the occasional snuggle. But between that and cleaning to move… well, all my inspiration and drive was shot. Hopefully, tomorrow I can get more writing done… or tonight…  

I did it!

Determined to finish my short story today, I didn’t allow myself to mess around much with the internet. Which was great, because I got my story done. But Chelsea is back for February. I also found a notebook with the beginning of a story. I think I may type it out and finish it this […]

No new comic today

Ashley is in the middle of moving and without internet until Wednesday. As for me? I’m just puttering around, working on a little bit of everything. It feels nice not to have a deadline after two years of publishing every month. Granted, I have a deadline for next month, but the story only needs to […]

One down, six to go… ok, maybe seven

I sat down yesterday with a clear game plan: Finish my critiques for the anthology I write for, and get to work on a short story for a friend. But, the last story for the anthology is still down, and my friend got the approval for her new apartment, meaning she’s far too busy to […]

Almost

Almost a week past my due date, but I’m nearly caught up on my professional obligations. And it’ll be just in time to start publishing… Now the good news is that once I am caught up, I’m caught up. Well, I mean there’s always the next Chelsea Childling story. But there’s always the next Chelsea […]

So I forgot my blog yesterday

Doing a daily writing blog means doing it daily. Occasionally, I do my blog the night before, but I try very hard not to give into that temptation. Writing for a living is a marathon, not a sprint. Writing a daily blog means writing daily, and it’s a good habit to be in. But yesterday, […]

So much going on today!

First off, Uncommon Animals, the web comic, back up! And the first comic of the year in a doozy. Secondly, I want to give a shout out to my editor, Ash Litton. For those paying attention, yes, this the same Ash who got a mention at the beginning of Cease. In addition to making my stuff look good, […]

Goodbye throat junk

I’ve spent the last two days in bed with a sore throat, headache, and upset stomach, sucking down hot honey and lemon juice while hoping the pressure in my ears would go away. Woke today with a tickle, but the headache and pukey feelings are gone, and I can swallow without gagging. So I’m back on […]
