Well, I have critiquing to do, and I have been doing it, but writing for me… Nope. Nada. Nothing. Wendigo needs proofreading (as always), but really, nothing until I listen to it in a few weeks. And I’m trying not to draft until Nanowrimo. Yes, I AM doing Nanowrimo. I’m hoping to finish my Mina […]
So I disappeared for week. Sorry… kind of. My father passed away, and writing was really the last thing on my mind. It still feels weird to be writing about him today. My father was a private person. I’m sure he’d be embarrassed I was writing about him now. So I won’t. Not really. See […]
My mom caught me listening to one of my stories last night, headphones in, robot voice going, while I minutely adjusted sentences. When she asked why I had her read the sentence I was currently working on. ‘There was no was door.’ “Kate, that sentence is wrong.” “Yup, but because I wrote it, I know […]
Did my text to voice session last night. Talasam is finished, and I didn’t see the point in waiting any longer. So I compiled the .epub, and uploaded to Amazon a few days early. Yes, you can pre-order, but no reading until November 6. Now that Talasam is functional, I’ll be concentrating on Wendigo and […]
From my latest novella, Sheepsquatch: Rick watched Mina storm off. He wasn’t sure why she was upset, but she obviously was. He wondered if he’d done something else. You’ve done enough already. He tried to push away the guilt. He hadn’t done anything wrong. He’d only asked her out. She’d been clear that dating wasn’t […]
Just a little over a week until Talasam is due to Amazon. I’ll have to work on my banners tonight. Normally, I have them up already but bronchitis… I also dropped out of Novel in a Day this year. Some family stuff came up, and it’s way more important. Next year, I am all OVER […]
This man is my seven year old daughter’s hero. This is both good and bad. She now eats everything, because Gordon said a good chef has to try all foods. She also critiques her food. ‘Mom, this chicken skin isn’t crispy.’ And the day they had Burger King commercials during Master Chef? “Oh. My. God. This is […]
Yeah, I’m going have fun with that pun. But my friend, the Short Story Queen, gave me some pointers, so it’s back to editing. It’s hard for me to get reduce my style of writing. I’m used to the slow burn.
Almost forgot about this. Been sleeping all day again. Got some editing done, but it kinda of broke me. Hopefully, I’ll be up tommorrow.
Both the husband and I are struck down by some upper respiratory nastiness. I slept for 12 straight hours. I’m up and he’s going down. So blarg to flu season, but I am editing today.
