We are live, people! Jeff Hanson is not quite the average high school senior. He’s a hedge doctor, a witch called to heal people using herbs. His green touch not only grows plants, but enhances their magical and mystical properties. Jeff spends more time patching up monster hunters than he does in classes. But when […]
It’s also about fifty percent of writing. I’m stuck. Not horribly stuck, but stuck. Edie figured out a plot point that I wasn’t ready to deal with yet. I have to find a way to incorporate it, without sending the Red Witch careening off into the woods. I have to deal with the Trojan. He […]
I’m getting mad. I’m getting so mad, and my husband sighs. “Who’s pissing you off today?” “Somebody who should know better.” I stare at my screen, disgusted. “She’s so smart, but she’s trying to sell me on the idea that somehow women are more precious than men.” The eyebrows go up, and he smiles. “You know you […]
Still scratchy-voiced, but not sick. At least, I don’t have the hang dog, just let me go back to bed feelings of yesterday. I chugged some nyquil and went to bed early last night. Time damn well spent. Today, I’m alredy nose deep in Red Witch. Having issues because Edie is smart. And the problem with […]
Yeah, I took the weekend off. I didn’t even boot up Scrivener. All just to hang out with my husband, and kids. My repayment for this is to lose my voice, and feel like I should still be in bed.. *grumblegrumble* So, I’m heading back to sleep. Not sure if/when I’ll be getting writing done […]
Memorial Day is coming up, and I’m trying to focus on the Red Witch. Which is hard, because it’s finally sunny and warm, again. I did manage to finish the first story in the sequel to Hedge Doctor this week. And more than a few chapters of Red Witch. I’m quickly approaching the last of […]
Why did I have to check my watch? Because I’m still not sure which century I’m in. Hell, most days, I think reality should come with an asterisk. Today’s topic, feminism, and why I might be giving up on the human race. I’m a feminist. I make no bones about it. I don’t hate men, I just […]
Yup, we had to postpone the release of the webcomic. Miss Ashley’s other commitments reared their ugly head. We could likely have gotten it out on time, but I’d rather have less stress than meet a deadline we set for ourselves. We set an arbitrary date, so we can change it, arbitrarily Anywho, besides Miss Ashley […]
Even as I prep to release Hedge Doctor: Prom and am polishing Last Call, I’m drafting my second novel, The Red Witch. Today, I’m a little frustrated. It’s a pacing issue. My novels all play with narrative structure. While I kept my shorts and novellas straight forward (For the most part. Talasam and Hunted Down both […]
Tiny bit of shock as of last night. One of my dedicated betas finished Last Call. I was expecting a lot more pacing issues and whatnot, but basically, nope. So I’m staring at this critique, and I’m about to reread the others (because, Huh? Really?), but I actually may be done with the plotting and […]
