Mother’s Day

I’m drinking tea out of my new mug, and enjoying the sunshine, sans a new tattoo, but that’s not my kids’ or the husband’s fault. My favorite local tattoo place went and got weird on me. I’m making some progress on the finale for Monsters of Pittsburgh.  I got over 2k words written last night. […]

distraction

So I finally got some real work on the finale for Monsters of Pittsburgh. And as I sat down last night to bang out more words, began rearranging scenes and refining the four thousand words I had. And I kept that up for about an hour. Then I remembered that had the shutterstock images for […]

Again?!

On Tuesday, I busted out 3k words for the Monsters of Pittsburgh finale.  When I finished, I wrote my Insecure Writers Support Group post, and was ready to spend all day Wednesday head deep in drafting. I woke up, opened Scrivener, and… immediately started scrolling shutterstock.com. Because, you see, my friend bought X amount of […]

Insecure Writer’s Support Group – Self Promotion

  Why yes, it is the first Wednesday of the month and time for the airing of insecurities. In this case, self-promotion. It’s common insecurity with indie writers, maybe all writers. I always feel like such a schmuck when I do it. I’m not sure where it comes from. I don’t know a single indie […]

A most bizarre block

Not a true writer’s block. That involves having no idea what to write. I know what I want to write, I have more than just a vague idea of this finale goes and a concrete certainty of what the final scene is. But sit me down and there are no words. It’s like pulling teeth. […]

Look publicity!

I’m over at Raine O’Tierney’s Hat Party answering questions today! Also, I am wearing a hat. Take a look see! Not sure I’ll get done today. I’m going to workout with my sister-in-law. My accident in January left me even more sedentary than normal for winter. It’s bad enough I’m writer, but my tendency to hibernate […]

Sunday, Funday

Still recovering from the husband’s birthday. No we didn’t go out and get trashed. He got nailed with a stomach flu. Poor guy is pretty well wrecked, but he did get his Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes, so he went to bed happy on Friday night. Last night… I should be drafting the final Monsters of Pittsburgh […]

Cancelled freak out

I’ve spent the last two months convincing myself that I had time.  I was a little nervous about the final story for Uncommon Animals, Hunter’s Moon. My faithful betas had read it and loved it, pointing out some missteps, but I knew it wasn’t ready. It needed more eyes. The problem with writing a series […]

That time of the month

Publishing Day! What were you thinking? Anyway, this month’s offering is The Hunt at the Haunt. When a demon gets into the bar, Rita has no choice but to call Mina. Can she fight without her partner there to plan it and can she trust the demon hunters not to turn on her while she […]

Blog Hop: My Writing Process

Apparently, I AM supposed to be a part of this. I got tagged by not just Ripley Nox, but Jesse Pearle and Gina Drayer. Sorry ladies, my head has been directly up my ass the last few weeks. So without further making of excuses, I shall Blog Hop!   1) What am I working on? Lots […]
