Bits and pieces

That’s what writing novels feels like to me these days. I do remember this feeling. Without a deadline to push me, I tend towards a paragraph and a chapter there. It’s almost lazy writing… although not lazy writing. It also means lots of rereading. So I sit down, read the last few paragraphs, get the shape […]

How many times can I use that word?

Read Last Call: Culmination to my husband last night. And there were a few passages that felt like I was talking about Kuzco’s poison. It happens. But other than that, the piece feels good. Mina and Matty are almost ready for their next adventure. Once I get through a little cutting and word choicing. Which […]

Still here, still working

It’s the same old, same old. Just me plugging away. Ahead on Chelsea stories, got a chapter of the Red Witch done, working on the web comic, proofreading Culmination… So I’m busy, and I’ll talk to ya’ll, tomorrow.

New Comic!!!

Miss Ashley has internet this week, and so we have a new comic! Okay, enough gushing. Okay, I swear, I’m done. I’m just very excited about these next few comics. Mina is changing for the first time, and that’s… it’s just awesome. Ashley is doing such a great job with it. But, I have to […]

Getting in the mood

Pulling ahead of my professional obligations ahead of an incoming ‘blizzard’ means I have some time to work on my novel this weekend. While snow might be coming for me, the cold definitely is. So I’ve Audra’s Pandora station running while I get to work on Red Witch. I’m hoping to finish this chapter today, and […]

Collaboration!

Met with Miss Ashley today regarding our comics. Yes, plural, we’re planning on a second one. One of the shorts I keep mentioning is for her, regarding her original characters, world, and story. We spent some time today discussing characters, story philosophy, and symbolism. All of which we need to be on the same page […]

So today…

I had a sick baby to take care of. Not the ten year old is baby, or really needed more than water, lunch, and the occasional snuggle. But between that and cleaning to move… well, all my inspiration and drive was shot. Hopefully, tomorrow I can get more writing done… or tonight…  

I did it!

Determined to finish my short story today, I didn’t allow myself to mess around much with the internet. Which was great, because I got my story done. But Chelsea is back for February. I also found a notebook with the beginning of a story. I think I may type it out and finish it this […]

No new comic today

Ashley is in the middle of moving and without internet until Wednesday. As for me? I’m just puttering around, working on a little bit of everything. It feels nice not to have a deadline after two years of publishing every month. Granted, I have a deadline for next month, but the story only needs to […]

One down, six to go… ok, maybe seven

I sat down yesterday with a clear game plan: Finish my critiques for the anthology I write for, and get to work on a short story for a friend. But, the last story for the anthology is still down, and my friend got the approval for her new apartment, meaning she’s far too busy to […]
