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 […]
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 […]

I need to do the usual frantic and inevitable proofreading, but it’s been done for quite some time. Far more fun to contemplate […]
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 […]
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 […]
