I’ve spent the last two months convincing myself that I had time. I was a little nervous about the final story for Uncommon Animals, Hunter’s Moon. My faithful betas had read it and loved it, pointing out some missteps, but I knew it wasn’t ready. It needed more eyes. The problem with writing a series […]
Publishing Day! What were you thinking? Anyway, this month’s offering is The Hunt at the Haunt. When a demon gets into the bar, Rita has no choice but to call Mina. Can she fight without her partner there to plan it and can she trust the demon hunters not to turn on her while she […]
Apparently, I AM supposed to be a part of this. I got tagged by not just Ripley Nox, but Jesse Pearle and Gina Drayer. Sorry ladies, my head has been directly up my ass the last few weeks. So without further making of excuses, I shall Blog Hop! 1) What am I working on? Lots […]
This has been a day for short stories and fight scenes. First off, I am about to have Sam and Dean fight a wendigo. The story I’m publishing on Thursday, The Hunt at the Haunt, is also a short story. And this morning, I got a great critique on another short, although the fight scene […]
The best part of being organized and ahead of schedule. When something trips me up, be it second degree burns from my wrist to shoulder or going toe to toe with my depression, I can keep plowing ahead. How far ahead am I this month? I just have to upload the text Wednesday. The cover […]
Still not up to my usual daily word count, but I made progress on that parody. Unfortunately, I had a massive time slip due to my being depressed. It just occurred to me this morning that I publish in four days and I don’t have a blurb for the next story. I’ll get it done […]
So I had everything ready for my daughter’s birthday yesterday but slept until well after seven today. Oh well. I also got some writing done and some critiquing. The parody goes slowly. Mostly because my Sam and Dean are nothing like Supernatural Sam and Dean. But I more or less have a direction to in, […]
I still have that drag ass, don’t wanna do anything, feeling of ennui. I’m sore, mostly between my shoulder blades. It’s where I carry my tension. And I’m forcing myself to move beyond it. It’s a struggle I am very familiar with. I want to sleep. I can drink twice my normal amount of coffee […]
Another day went by without me getting any worthwhile writing done. Or proofreading the upcoming story. Today I had to drag myself out of bed and barely got the kids to school on time, let alone in time for second breakfast. As I trudged back to my house, I had to concede that I’m depressed. […]
Sat down last night to proofread and nope… I also didn’t get any writing done. Instead I played Civilization V and passed out early. Part of this, I know, is seasonal allergies. The vast majority of it though is me forcing myself to get up at 5:30. Why? Because I’m more productive if I have 30 […]
