Almost didn’t think I was going to get to this today. I am wretchedly ill, so forgive the typos. They’ll be worse than usual. Today’s subject, what if nobody actually likes my work. Which is stupid considering I just got my first royalty check from Amazon. But nobody has bought a story in a few […]
I’ve expressed my love for the Nanowrimo many a time, but this writing challenge is, well, right up my alley. (Yes I did debate the pun and nearly typed ‘write up my alley’.) No, I will not be writing a novel in a single day. I will hopefully be part of a team of people, […]
For the last two years, mornings have been my writing time. I was super stoked when my youngest switched from afternoon to morning sessions this year. To me that meant super quiet time, just me and coffee. I figured I’d spend his afternoon nap getting the house in order. Unfortunately, he had other ideas. Once […]
It’s that day of the week again. In honor of getting Sheepsquatch to Amazon ahead of schedule, here a scene from my upcoming novella: Matty left her to stand guard at the entrance. The store room didn’t have a door. After all, the demon hunter’s bar wasn’t a clinic. Mina smiled at his back. Modesty […]
Finishing off Sheepsquatch this morning. I was exhausted last night, and not up for editing. But at 9:30, I’ll be finishing off my text to speech session, before uploading the final product to Amazon. The release date is October 8, but you can pre-order now.
Today at 1 PM EST, I’ll be listening to Sheepsquatch for errors and live tweeting (@EdiesHaven). The text to speech function is HILARIOUS when you write Urban Fantasy, so I’ll be entertained to no end. Hopefully, I’ll be entertaining to other people as well.
I wish I had more to say about my writing today. That’s the real problem with the daily writing blog, not every day is exciting. Especially not when I’m editing. I’m mostly picking apart sentences and debating word choice. Making sure POV is consistent and makes sense. Nothing that really changes the plot or is […]
Yeah, I’ve been staring at the screen for a few moments, trying to think of something to write. Things are pretty quiet here. The kids are at school. Sheepsquatch is more or less ready to go. I’ll listen to it the audio tomorrow (and I’ll live tweet it), but really that’s for my peace […]
This… just this. The concept blew my mind this weekend. To me there’s a lot of truth here. At least, how I see my writing. Okay, stop, back up and explain. I’ve now written 15 stories with Matty, Mina, Rick, and Sam. Most of my editing is explaining actions and reactions to readers. Occasionally, even […]
This weeks offering is from Succubus: “So, what do we do?” She paused. “No idea just yet. Usually by now Matty tells me what to attack.” Rick snorted as the thralled waitress hurried to an area roped off by velvet. He pointed to a man with a crew cut, dressed in black sitting by […]
