I’ve been sleeping a lot lately. Not sure why. Last night I zonked out at 8:30, slept 11 hours, and woke up exhausted today. So needless to say, writing has been slow. A little here and there, but mostly, it’s me aimlessly rereading for word choice. I’m gonna blame the weather, as well as the […]
Check out the main IWSG blog! As for me, I want to talk about reviews. I’ve been self-publishing for over a year, and I’m just starting to get reviews. Oh, I’ve had a few, friends and family who support my work, but strangers… yeah, there’s been a dearth. Which is another topic, all together. But […]
One of the silliest adages spouted at writers: Write what you know. If I did that I’d be writing about living in the country, doing community theater, and being a mom. Since I don’t like literary fiction… But seriously, I write about werewolves and witches, and I don’t mean pagans. So writing what I ‘know’ […]
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 […]
