I have tried reading the entire manuscript out loud to the husband. I have tried not thinking about it. I have tried walking and dancing for inspiration. I have even tried switching up my writing music. But three weeks later, I kind of have to admit that my mind is not on the Red Witch, […]
Chelsea Childling is back today! Sonja is making some rather uncomfortable waves for Chelsea and Amber. Their fledgling relationship can handle reavers, but can it handle doubt? Yes, our favorite redhead is once again getting into hot water as she learns how to hunt monsters! There’s still time to sign up today for […]
There should be Chelsea today, but it’s a holiday and I’m lazy. So next Monday you can have your Chelsea.
Assuming an equal length to the last draft, I am now 2/3 of the way done with this draft. However, this is also the section of the book that needs the most work. Not only do I have to expand the fight scenes, but all those “little” changes have come due. The ending needs to […]
My monthly series is out today. This month, Chelsea learns how to fight a giant, and that her girlfriend has some apprehension about the new hunter in town. It seems that Sonja isn’t as cool as she seems. And to my readers, yes, *that* Sonja.

Wherein Kate laments how hard writing is… some more.
And I have been writing. It’s just that this is a fight scene, and one I am rewriting from a new character’s POV. So I’m not just fixing up the fight, but rewriting big chunks of it because Barb wouldn’t know what a trained warrior would. It’s exhausting, mentally. It’s one thing to switch POV between characters with […]
Yes, it’s the first Monday of the month, and that means Chelsea! Last month started the new cycle, so the adventure is just ramping up. Sorry, I love Chelsea. She has never ceased to surprise me, even if I did create her. Good characters do what you want, great characters do what *they* want. Chelsea has […]
I got over that one chapter, but ran smack into the exposition chapter. And I don’t mind the expo chapter. I actually like them, reading and writing. But this is the… fourth version of this I’ve written this year. Little changes in the timeline (and more than one HUGE change in the timeline) makes for big changes […]
