All the other writers are doing it, so I thought, maybe I should too! So, yes, I made a mailing list! I promise not to bombard you with stuff. I’m thinking twice a month. Once on publishing day, and again about two weeks later. That second one will be the sole home of my flash […]
So yesterday, I decided to do movie parody posters for the final Mina and Matty series. And I dutifully sat down with my stock photos and spent eight hours mocking up a halfway decent parody. Just to see if I could make the photoshop look good. I knew it wouldn’t be done, but could I make […]
Oof, I can’t believe how fast and yet how slow this week has gone. Being Santa’s amazon is exhausting. What I haven’t been doing is writing. Yes, I’ve turned nocturnal because of this. I did luckily have a breakthrough last night. Matty and Mina finally got their act together. I’m not saying I’ll finish before […]
I needs it. So bad. With Humans getting ready for publication, I’m already turning to the last two Monsters of Pittsburgh stories. Brownie is fine. It’ll need the grammar checks, but its in good shape. Werewolves though. I had a brilliant idea, wrote it out around Halloween, but somehow it didn’t save. So I’m going […]
My cookie jar is empty, which is a crime this time of year. But no baking this afternoon. The oldest has a doctor’s appointment this afternoon, and the youngest turns five tomorrow. I have cakes to bake, cookies to bake, a house to clean, and I’m OUT OF WINE. Also, my husband’s present might not […]
The going is slow, but words, they have been written. Spending some time on my pandora station for a little bit now. Sometimes it’ better than spotify. The new music can be extremely inspiring. Hoping my momentum can get me through the weekend. I’d really love to finish this series. Also, tons of candy to […]
So yesterday, I had no focus. And I haven’t had any for awhile. Which always sucks for me. Because I can’t sleep, if I can’t write. Well, a friend reminded me of a dare. See, she writes romance. Unlike a lot of people, I don’t look down on romance or erotica. It takes talent to […]
The problem with being a pantser (someone who doesn’t outline a story) is that I get stuck sometimes. Usually my stories just flow. I’m writing action-adventure tales mixed with drama and humor. Mostly, I just need to think up a monster and let things work themselves out. My characters are strong and pretty good at […]
Nanowrimo is going well. I’m keeping my two day lead. I will hopefully expand on it this weekend, but really I had a revelation this week. I was researching something I used in a previous story, my first novel in fact. The one I was scared of. See about a year ago, there was this […]
I’m 7k and one story in! So yes, I am drafting and keep myself ahead of schedule. I need the extra wordage, since we host Thanksgiving at our place. If fact, tomorrow I’m doing a deep clean of the kitchen since the kids have off of school. But the drafting goes well. Knowing the characters […]
