Wait? It’s what time
Vacation is a dangerous thing. I’m sleeping way too much. And I have all kinds of administrative stuff to do for my stories, but I’m not. I am, however, getting some writing done. And making cookies. *shrugs* It’s the holidays.

The New Year cometh
Oof, I can’t believe how fast and yet how slow this week has gone. Being Santa’s amazon is exhausting. What I haven’t been doing is writing. Yes, I’ve turned nocturnal because of this. I did luckily have a breakthrough last night. Matty and Mina finally got their act together. I’m not saying I’ll finish before […]
#Saturday Scenes
A little something I wrote for a friend: It had to be the most boring party ever. The guys huddled around the beer pong table, congratulating themselves on trick shots, mostly peacocking for the nearly identical blondes, who stood in a giggling group, feigning disinterest. Chelsea tried to push away the negativity. Four months ago, […]
So yesterday
I lamented that my friends probably wouldn’t have the time to help me get Humans ready for publication. Holy crap was I wrong. No less than seven people stepped up and read through the story, Typos were caught, emotion miscues recued, and most importantly, I know that newbies can pick this up and follow along. I’ll […]
Of course…
So here I am, trying to do all that last minute Christmas stuff, and in the middle of it, I decide to revamp Humans just a few days before it’s due to Amazon. I sent out the word, begging my friends to give it a once over. I’m hoping people have the time, but I’m […]
#SaturdayScenes
Holiday edition! I don’t have much written for Christmas, but I do have this scene from Hunter’s Moon. *** Sonja folded another thermal shirt and placed it in her bag, but her eyes kept stealing towards her phone. Troy still hadn’t gotten back to her. “I brought you some coffee.” Rick’s voice bustled with false […]
Thought to text
I needs it. So bad. With Humans getting ready for publication, I’m already turning to the last two Monsters of Pittsburgh stories. Brownie is fine. It’ll need the grammar checks, but its in good shape. Werewolves though. I had a brilliant idea, wrote it out around Halloween, but somehow it didn’t save. So I’m going […]
Listening Party!
Well for me. Yes, tomorrow, I’ll be listening to Humans, the fifth Monsters of Pittsburgh story. This is one of the longer ones, So I’m expecting this to be an all day event. Look for my comments on Twitter starting around 11 AM (@EdiesHaven). I wish I had a set time, but my youngest has […]
Still troping
So, I was trying to prove a point, that even if you don’t know about tropes, you still use them. And I went over a friend’s chapter, literally listing tropes as I went. Now people are asking me to do their chapters, with discussion of the tropes in question. Which is surprisingly exhausting, as well […]
Still talking about Tropes
One of my writing groups is still talking about tropes. Mostly because I can’t shut up about them. The main question is what is a trope (as opposed to a cliche or an archetype)? The best way I can describe it is an element of storytelling. It’s the little building blocks of character, plot, back […]
