So yesterday, I had no focus. And I haven’t had any for awhile. Which always sucks for me. Because I can’t sleep, if I can’t write. Well, a friend reminded me of a dare. See, she writes romance. Unlike a lot of people, I don’t look down on romance or erotica. It takes talent to […]
My writer buddies are gonna roll their eyes at me, because this is all I’ve been talking about today, but I have no focus. Also, no drive. Usually, I’m busting out 10k words a week, while critiquing all my friends’ stuff, and happily snarking my way through life. The last few weeks though, I’ve barely been writing 1k, […]
So last night, one of my writer friends was lamenting that a writing group she belongs to has some asshats in it. Specifically, people told her that her characters were “tropes” and then linked to those tropes to prove it. (DO NOT CLINK THOSE LINKS OR THE ONES BELOW. Unless you have some time to […]
So I’ve started the finale for the last set of Mina and Matty stories, and I got an idea an other funny short. I got some words on paper today and promptly put it aside to work on the covers for my Hedge Doctor series. *sigh* Yes, I’m procrastinating, again. I swear I’ll get the damn […]
Yup! It’s a publishing day! So I have a scene from Wendigo for everybody! *** Dean pulled the Mustang into the post office parking lot. “That’s the phone.” Sam grunted and picked at his teeth with his nail. The silence stretched out, but Dean didn’t know how to break it. Sam stared out the window […]
Comes out tomorrow! Though you can pre-order it from Amazon. This story has a story. And it starts with the original Mina and Matty story: The Hunted. See, I was writing something for a competition, and I desperately needed names. So I stole them from a friend’s book, with permission. So Sam and Rick, became […]
Seriously, I have not written one word on that last story in a week. I tried changing the POV, a tactic that has jumpstarted more than one of my messes I’ve tried editing other stories in the cycle for inspiration. I’m about to start critiquing my friend’s stuff, just to take my mind off of […]
I’m publishing, because I’m always publishing. Once a month, a novella or a short comes out in my name. And because I write a series, I am always on the look out for new readers. It’s imperative to me that people who don’t know the series can pick up any volume and follow that story. Anything […]
The problem with being a pantser (someone who doesn’t outline a story) is that I get stuck sometimes. Usually my stories just flow. I’m writing action-adventure tales mixed with drama and humor. Mostly, I just need to think up a monster and let things work themselves out. My characters are strong and pretty good at […]
Yes, it is that that time of year again. And really, I’m super stoked. I LOVE this holiday! But, I’m really, really glad I don’t have a ton to do writing-wise this year. Last year, I decided to start the Uncommon Animals series in December. I had no cover, just an idea for one. This month, […]
