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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
The best part of being organized and ahead of schedule. When something trips me up, be it second degree burns from my wrist to shoulder or going toe to toe with my depression, I can keep plowing ahead. How far ahead am I this month? I just have to upload the text Wednesday. The cover […]
Still not up to my usual daily word count, but I made progress on that parody. Unfortunately, I had a massive time slip due to my being depressed. It just occurred to me this morning that I publish in four days and I don’t have a blurb for the next story. I’ll get it done […]
Sat down last night to proofread and nope… I also didn’t get any writing done. Instead I played Civilization V and passed out early. Part of this, I know, is seasonal allergies. The vast majority of it though is me forcing myself to get up at 5:30. Why? Because I’m more productive if I have 30 […]
I’m trying to anyway. It’s really cold this morning and just getting out of bed took so much energy. I’m pounding coffee though, and making outlines. Yes, I am actually making an outline, and doing research. This short is a parody of popular TV show. I need to get it right. While I like Supernatural […]
Yes, I love to make puns. Anyway, I still haven’t finished that short story. Writing is hard. Writing humor mixed with action is very, very hard. Still I‘m slogging away. I might be able to finish this tonight. Well, the roughest edit of it anyway. I need to finish it because it’s getting to be […]
I finished up the second to last novella for the second series of werewolf stories and turned to the two shorts that I wanted to write. I wrote maybe 25 words the last three days. More annoyed with myself than anything, I turned to pinterest, trying to something. And I found this! That’s my brownie! […]
This humorous short still has me stumped. I have half of one good gag and that’s it. Sometimes I forget that humor is harder that dramedy. Seriously, I like to think that all my stories are funny. But there’s a difference between witty dialogue and a funny story. I’m running scenarios in my head and sooner […]
Words That Burn Like Fire
