This week, one of my writing groups got into a discussion about traditional, stable families. You know, the Reeds, or hell, even the Ramanos. Since I tend to write about found family, most of my characters aren’t particularly fond of their families. I wondered if I could write the other kind. Then I remembered that I […]
Brownie is due to Amazon tomorrow. I’ll be listening to it (Text to Voice is a godsend!) and live tweeting at 1PM. I can’t believe I’m already turning in the sixth Monsters of Pittsburgh story. This series has flown by. For those who have been waiting for it, the Omnibus Edition for Monsters of Pittsburgh […]
I’m writing this blog a little early because I’m about to quit for the day. It’s been one of those days when I open Scrivener and just flip between stories, reading bits and pieces. I’m not actually getting any work done though. I feel like a hall full of mousetraps set with ping pong balls. […]
With my two flash stories written for next month, I’m back to finishing up Mina and Matty’s last story. And I have a few options. One of them involves wrapping up everything neatly with a bow, and probably possibly hitting the ‘Overkill’ button. The other leaves a few loose ends that likely only I will notice. I […]
Got my flash for Valentine’s Day written. Got some critiques for friends done (still not caught up, but a ton closer than I was). Figured out why I’m not liking the ending to the last Mina and Matty story (continuity snarl!). I feel like my brain is functioning again. Hopefully, this lasts for a while. […]
Me and Sisyphus, I tell you. It’s the bitch of living with depression. Sometimes, you can see it. You know you’re being a useless lump and there’s nothing you can do about it. I’ve always had a rough time during the winter. With my father passing away this fall, I kind of knew this would happen. […]
The wind is blowing and the snow is coming down, and I’m getting caught up. Slowly but surely. Went through my crits yesterday, even gave a few in return. I’m hoping to get more done this weekend, but who knows. I also need to proofread Brownie. I’m pretty stoked about this one. It’s another of […]
Yes, please, please, please, if you are at all curious about this sign up for my newsletter! The first Chelsea Childling story comes out tomorrow. The newsletter is just a bimonthly publication, once on Publishing Day and two weeks later for a Chelsea story (a flash fiction series only available on my newsletter!) As for me… I […]
This is my free flash series, and it’s only available through my new newsletter, which is bi-monthly. The first story comes out on Friday, so sign up to read about Chelsea and Jackson. Moving on. I’m writing, just not what I want to be. In my defense, I do have a few (flash) projects that need to […]
… on Friday. Yes, this Friday begins my flash series: Here’s the kicker, though, it’s only available on my newsletter. Sign up and get monthly free stories.
