Got some real work done on one of my shorts yesterday, and then I realized that I needed more action. So I sat down last night to tear it apart and add in an action sequence. I then promptly started working on a scene for the finale of second series. Yes, I even procrastinate very short […]
So yesterday, I wanted to work on those two short stories. I fiddled around half-heartedly, got a few sentences down. Mostly I obsessed over my book covers, before settling down to watch some Supernatural with my husband. So imagine my surprise when I glance at down at the clock and see that its one in the […]
I’m pretty proud of myself. I not only got my short story polished up for May 1st, I also got some structural work done on the latest novella. The ending lacked punch and I knew it. This week I need to start working on my cover. I think I’ll be updating all of them… again. […]
I gave myself a tiny break to celebrate my fifth wedding anniversary, but that’s over now. Today’s checklist includes finishing the copy editing on the short that’s getting released on May 1st and getting the latest novella ready for beta reader consumption. Then I need to get to work on the cover. Since switching to amazon’s […]
I have dish towel brain this morning. Damp, twisted, and smells a little funky, but I did finish my first draft of the novella. And promptly realized that the time frame was off, and I really needed to expand a few of the ending scenes, and… I opened scrivener and promptly fell asleep on the […]

I almost forgot. It’s the first Wednesday of the month, time for me to air my insecurities. The thing that’s been creeping me out lately, is how far on the backburner my novels are. I love my world, and I love writing in it. I know I need an editor for the first, and it’ll […]
Publishing day came and went, and I sold one copy. Feeling grisham, baby, feeling grisham. And with the new month comes the new story, and the great circle of publishing starts anew. I have a bit of a jump start on this one. I’ve already read it out loud to the husband, and it’s been picked […]
And, of course, I just didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. It’s nearly warm and very sunny out. Laying there, listening to birds and the fan was too nice. But eventually the real world calls, especially on publishing day. This month’s offering is Hunted Down. The fifth of seven stories set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. […]
Yes, tomorrow Hunted Down is being published. I woke up to a hour and half delay of school, and was thrilled. A no-rush morning to get all my social media out of the way and proofread one last time. But then I saw a critique of a rough draft and that obviously takes precedent. Once I […]
