How do we fix this and who the hell are you? Sonja’s introduction is still one of my favorites. Designed to be a foil for my group in general, and Mina in particular, she perky and upbeat, while never losing the edge any monster hunter should have. It had come to my attention that I had […]
This week’s scene is in honor of Supernatural’s 200th episode. It’s from my short Wendigo, an affectionate send up of the show. *** Sam settled down in Rick’s recliner, grateful for a little peace and quiet. No intense bass boomed from the speakers of Matty’s basement bedroom. The stairs were blissfully empty of Rick and […]
I’m weak sometimes. The perfect like to wrap up my only true Romance. It gets the capital ‘R’, because it follows the mold perfectly. Well, the ending is more Happy For Now, rather than Happily Ever After… Okay, the ending is “I promise that I’ll come back and we can be happy then,” but yes, […]
This was one of the hardest stories to write in the Uncommon Animals series. I’m not a big fan of everything working out neatly just because these are the protagonists. And I had a hell of time balancing Mina’s bad ass monster hunting self with the broken person she had become. Not to mention all […]
Still not writing much. I have totally blown my lead. But maybe today. I’ve been stuck on a scene, and trying to work my way through it. But putting my mental issues aside, let’s talk about stuff that’s already written. The Hunted. Why am I bringing this up? Because a friend found this fabulous little […]
Well, I got some sleep last night. Passes out before 10, in fact. Still not writing much though. Part of it is how damned important this story is. Some rather major info gets dropped here, and there’s some fairly heavy character development as well. I did manage to get everything to the big fight scene […]
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 […]
