Yesterday I got a little ranty on Love Triangles, but what I realized that I have a lot more to say about them.. Well, specifically, I pointed out subversions without first giving examples. ***WARNING WARNING: The following rant contains links to TVtropes.org. Time sucks can and will ensue.*** See, for years, I truly disliked Love Triangles as […]
With me not writing, having a daily writing blog has been… difficult. So today, I thought I’d rant about one of the most abused plot devices of all time: The Love Triangle. Often, but not always, Love Triangles are used in the place of an actual plot. While I agree that there’s inherent tension in […]
Not for another series. But I am writing for the Bowman’s Inn again. I had an idea for an unconventional love story (as if I know any other kind.) As usual when I’m not sure if what I’ve thought up is workable, I talked to the husband about it. He saw potential in the idea, which […]
I’m not sure when or how the term cheesecake was coined for fan service in webcomics, or why it’s a Christmas tradition to serve up such cheesecake… but Uncommon Animals is all about the Christmas Cheesecake until we come back on January 4th. As for me, well, my job didn’t quite work out. I liked the […]
You can find the rest of the folks hopping over here. As for my hop. I’m gonna finish the scene I started last week. *** As the woman-thing reached for her, Mina jammed her taser into the oncoming arm. The metal and plastic crunched and a jolt of electricity shot through Mina as pieces of […]
Still trying to find a decent time to do some writing. I had a few hours last night and worked on the Red Witch, but forgot to do this blog. On the plus side, I’ve been writing Red Witch, and it feels pretty good. Hopefully, once the holidays are over (and my kids’ play), I’ll […]
It’s been my refrain for the last few weeks as I prep for my new job. Admittedly, there’s less pressure these days. After Last Call, I am taking a bit of a publishing hiatus (minus my flash story for my newsletter). I’m a little burnt out on the publishing once a month gig. So my projects […]
Probably the last one of the year, but NEW COMIC TODAY!! Also, please, please, please, check out Miss Ashely on facebook. She’s not only responsible for our amazing comic, she also does portraits, book covers, icons for websites, logos, social media banners, etc, etc. Also, today is Publishing Day! Last Call: Cease is live. You can read […]
Another Saturday, another scene! The other people participating in the hop can be found here! This week’s scene is from Last Call: Cease, the second story in the final Mina and Matty series. *** Gradually, she became aware of her chin slamming into something hard. Mina blinked the snowflakes off her eyelashes and lifted her […]
While I don’t have a problem working third shift, I do have rearrange my whole life: when I clean, when I sleep, and when I write. Specifically, when I write this blog. There just hasn’t been a great time for it. I have been working on Red Witch though. Still haven’t finished that chapter, but […]
