Okay, let’s start with the mad insomnia. I tried not to think about it, but I’ve been staying up later and later. Last night I was up until 4 am. So I’ve lost my two day Nanowrimo lead. I’m still on schedule though. As long as I get some writing done tomorrow. The kids are […]
From my story, Talasam: Sam let go of Matty and sat back in his chair with eyes closed. “I don’t know exactly what happened to them after they escaped. They had a few run ins with the Tribes, but when Mina killed a civilian they had to separate. They knew there’d be no hiding from […]
Nanowrimo is going well. I’m keeping my two day lead. I will hopefully expand on it this weekend, but really I had a revelation this week. I was researching something I used in a previous story, my first novel in fact. The one I was scared of. See about a year ago, there was this […]
Matty Grekov is a bundle of paranoia and anxiety, held together by sheer will and the love of his sister and best friend. But when he’s found twitching and shaking on the floor of his bedroom, nothing Mina and Rick can do will wake him. Held captive in his own mind by a creature known […]

I’m 7k and one story in! So yes, I am drafting and keep myself ahead of schedule. I need the extra wordage, since we host Thanksgiving at our place. If fact, tomorrow I’m doing a deep clean of the kitchen since the kids have off of school. But the drafting goes well. Knowing the characters […]
It’s the beginning of Nanowrimo! I’m using mine to finish the final Mina and Matty series. I have the first story finished, so I figured I’d share the beginning of that. Warning: MASSIVE Monsters of Pittsburgh Spoilers to follow: His battered kidneys protested as Rick stretched. He’s been distracted knowing that Jen would be here […]
Yeah in honor of both Halloween and the blog hop I’m writing for, I have free stories tomorrow. The first two Uncommon Animals stories: These are the first two Mina and Matty stories, and again they are FREE tomorrow!
I have been staring at this blog for an hour. The truth is, with Nanowrimo coming up, I have nothing much to talk about. I did get some help with a translation, which was awesome and so, so cool. More on that next month. And I read a friend’s book, well her partial draft. She’s […]
