It’s rough and needs a once over even before the betas can read it. But I finished the second series before June. The first story, Succubus will absolutely be ready by Sept 8. It feels good to be ahead of schedule. And while I have a publishing deadline looming, the cover is done, and it’s […]
Figured if I was going to go musical theater might as well go all out. I’m on the final part of the last Monsters of Pittsburgh story. At this point its all about the last fight… which, of course, KILLS ME. I hate writing fight scenes. But that’s it, the last fight, followed by the […]
My youth spent in the theater sometimes shines through my literary pretensions. One of those is times is when I try to explain what creation feels like to people or why I’m addicted to the process of creation. And that’s what I got. I’m always trying to finish the hat. And sometimes, trying to finish […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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! […]
