I lamented that my friends probably wouldn’t have the time to help me get Humans ready for publication. Holy crap was I wrong. No less than seven people stepped up and read through the story, Typos were caught, emotion miscues recued, and most importantly, I know that newbies can pick this up and follow along. I’ll […]
So here I am, trying to do all that last minute Christmas stuff, and in the middle of it, I decide to revamp Humans just a few days before it’s due to Amazon. I sent out the word, begging my friends to give it a once over. I’m hoping people have the time, but I’m […]
Holiday edition! I don’t have much written for Christmas, but I do have this scene from Hunter’s Moon. *** Sonja folded another thermal shirt and placed it in her bag, but her eyes kept stealing towards her phone. Troy still hadn’t gotten back to her. “I brought you some coffee.” Rick’s voice bustled with false […]
I needs it. So bad. With Humans getting ready for publication, I’m already turning to the last two Monsters of Pittsburgh stories. Brownie is fine. It’ll need the grammar checks, but its in good shape. Werewolves though. I had a brilliant idea, wrote it out around Halloween, but somehow it didn’t save. So I’m going […]
Well for me. Yes, tomorrow, I’ll be listening to Humans, the fifth Monsters of Pittsburgh story. This is one of the longer ones, So I’m expecting this to be an all day event. Look for my comments on Twitter starting around 11 AM (@EdiesHaven). I wish I had a set time, but my youngest has […]
So, I was trying to prove a point, that even if you don’t know about tropes, you still use them. And I went over a friend’s chapter, literally listing tropes as I went. Now people are asking me to do their chapters, with discussion of the tropes in question. Which is surprisingly exhausting, as well […]
One of my writing groups is still talking about tropes. Mostly because I can’t shut up about them. The main question is what is a trope (as opposed to a cliche or an archetype)? The best way I can describe it is an element of storytelling. It’s the little building blocks of character, plot, back […]
My cookie jar is empty, which is a crime this time of year. But no baking this afternoon. The oldest has a doctor’s appointment this afternoon, and the youngest turns five tomorrow. I have cakes to bake, cookies to bake, a house to clean, and I’m OUT OF WINE. Also, my husband’s present might not […]
I’m already sick of being cold *** Snow landed on her eyelashes and white hair. The ice crystals framed the world, beautiful and cold. She was warm, snug-a-bed, under her blanket of snow. Lethargy overcame her as early dusk faded into dark. It was time for sleep. “Haven’t you slept long enough?” The voice was […]
The going is slow, but words, they have been written. Spending some time on my pandora station for a little bit now. Sometimes it’ better than spotify. The new music can be extremely inspiring. Hoping my momentum can get me through the weekend. I’d really love to finish this series. Also, tons of candy to […]
