I finished up the second to last novella for the second series of werewolf stories and turned to the two shorts that I wanted to write. I wrote maybe 25 words the last three days. More annoyed with myself than anything, I turned to pinterest, trying to something. And I found this! That’s my brownie! […]
This humorous short still has me stumped. I have half of one good gag and that’s it. Sometimes I forget that humor is harder that dramedy. Seriously, I like to think that all my stories are funny. But there’s a difference between witty dialogue and a funny story. I’m running scenarios in my head and sooner […]
My husband and former co-author admits that he kind of likes it when I get writer’s block. The whole house gets very, very clean. I’m still stuck on that short. I had a few scenarios to try for the fight scene, but none of them really worked for me. Nothing excited me. Part of why […]
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 set out to finish my latest work in progress last night. It’s just a fight scene. It’ll be utterly terrible for the first three revisions, and then it might be ok until I get a better idea. But I need to get something on paper if I want to fix it. I ended up […]
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 […]
