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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This has been a day for short stories and fight scenes. First off, I am about to have Sam and Dean fight a wendigo. The story I’m publishing on Thursday, The Hunt at the Haunt, is also a short story. And this morning, I got a great critique on another short, although the fight scene […]
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 […]
So it’s two weeks until publishing day. My cover is done. My story is done. I will ask friends about grammar checks and do at least one myself, but The Hunt at the Haunt is ready. The finale… I’m not so sure of the finale. I feel like it drags in the middle. I need […]
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 […]
Finally finished that short story last night. It needs a once over to really make the whole thing gel, but that’s because it took me a little while to understand exactly what story I was writing. Which sounds backwards, I know. But sometimes, that’s just how it goes. One day, I’ll the plot whole, with […]
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 […]
