Well, Linus blanketed us in snow. The husband and I are about to take the kids sledding, so I’mma be brief. Tomorrow my short story, Brownie goes live on Amazon. You can buy it today though, and wake up tomorrow with it ready to go. And please, sign up for my newsletter. The only way […]
Well, since I finished my series yesterday, I decided to post the most non-spoileriest scene I could today. *** Matty focused on his breathing. He tried to anyway. There was so much to process here. Matty swayed into Mina as the bus rumbled into the black night. His body still felt weird, wrong. He whimpered. […]
Yes, I have finished Mina and Matty’s stories. I’m not saying they’ll never show back up in my writing, but the story I started with The Hunted is definitely over. I could write stories about their ‘hunts’ forever, but their emotional journey has definitely been wrapped up. Now of course, I have to edit the […]
I’m taking today to not discuss writing. It’s a thing I do occasionally. Instead, I want to talk about people. I was a part of two rather interesting discussions yesterday. The first was involved the new Indiana Jones movie, and the other got me thinking. The Indiana Jones one was fairly typical for the internet. […]
I’m almost there. The final Mina and Matty story is almost done. I have one last fight scene to write, and then it’s all wrap up. Okay, the action sequences are one paragraph descriptions, that will need to be replaced. But I usually have to rewrite them multiple times anyway. Right now, it’s all about finishing […]
That’s where I was last night at 10:30. I had finally finished updating all 13 of my ebooks on Amazon. As of last night they all include the link to my newsletter. It’s a bi-monthly publication, once on publishing day and once a month, a flash story about Chelsea Childling: Newbie Monster Hunter On the […]
You’d think having a snow day would mean more writing. It usually does. But today is maintenance. It’s time to update the banners on my social media, write the newsletter for publishing day, and work on my covers. There’s stuff to do running a business, and it’s not all the fun creative stuff. Though making […]
This week, one of my writing groups got into a discussion about traditional, stable families. You know, the Reeds, or hell, even the Ramanos. Since I tend to write about found family, most of my characters aren’t particularly fond of their families. I wondered if I could write the other kind. Then I remembered that I […]
Brownie is due to Amazon tomorrow. I’ll be listening to it (Text to Voice is a godsend!) and live tweeting at 1PM. I can’t believe I’m already turning in the sixth Monsters of Pittsburgh story. This series has flown by. For those who have been waiting for it, the Omnibus Edition for Monsters of Pittsburgh […]
I’m writing this blog a little early because I’m about to quit for the day. It’s been one of those days when I open Scrivener and just flip between stories, reading bits and pieces. I’m not actually getting any work done though. I feel like a hall full of mousetraps set with ping pong balls. […]
