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 […]
Since tomorrow is a holiday and I’ll be getting three sugared up kids ready to go to grandma’s, I thought I’d write this to the sounds of my youngest son singing Let It Go. Spent last night rereading the finale of Uncommon Animals, Hunter’s Moon. I think I can see what to do to fix […]
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 […]
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 […]
My husband and former co-author admits that he kind of likes it when I get writer’s block. The whole house gets very, very clean. I’m still stuck on that short. I had a few scenarios to try for the fight scene, but none of them really worked for me. Nothing excited me. Part of why […]
Got some real work done on one of my shorts yesterday, and then I realized that I needed more action. So I sat down last night to tear it apart and add in an action sequence. I then promptly started working on a scene for the finale of second series. Yes, I even procrastinate very short […]
