So, I know a lot of you have heard my rants and bitches about this stuff lately, and perhaps you’re tired of it. Maybe you’re thinking, oh, it can’t be that bad. She’s a new author, how many people could really be stealing from her? Not that many. Besides, surely she’s making some money from [...]
Ahh…so, I’m going to spend the weekend writing a short story for fiction workshop. Also, four pages for playwriting workshop in which the characters have traits and impossible stage directions designed by one of my class mates. Which is actually really fun. My friend Patrick’s paper made its way back to me, and he’s got [...]
You can thank Fiona Druce for this one. And the “friends” in this post are actually your Critters. Oh, those elusive beasties that when I started doing this little series of articles last year (don’t kill me, I got sidetracked) I said that finding good critters in large part depended on a HUGE amount of D.F.L. Dumb [...]
She’s back! It’s Kathryn Meyer Griffith here on the blog again (she’s a favorite of mine *grin*) talking about her book HUMAN NO LONGER, a horror/vampire/girl power book. I say girl power, because Kathryn is a master of telling a story with a kick ass heroine thrust into dire circumstances who will come out the [...]
And we’re back again with the untitled craziness I have brewing. Still don’t know what to call it. Anyway, here’s six more sentences. Callie’s trying to shop for clothes….or something. She spun in a circle and shook her hips so that the tiny bell bracelets on her ankles jingled. A man only an inch or [...]
So last week I talked about some of the things I learned last year. A bit about how I came to realize that lots of the things I thought I knew to be truth as a beginning author just weren’t truth. Well, maybe that’s too much of a blanket statement. They weren’t gospel. If you [...]
This week I’m leaving Hunger Embraced behind….for awhile. We’ll go back again, I promise. I wanted to share a piece of my WIP. This is one of the erotic paranormal romance novellas I’m working on. I’m having a blast writing this one. It was supposed to be a 20K word project..and I’ve surpassed that. I’m [...]
It’s that time. Putting it down on paper. But this is a little bigger than just writing down those goals privately, because I’m putting it out here, in public. The goals I’ve set for myself, (partially at the brow beating provided by my pal/editor Rachel Firasek) that will hopefully keep me focused on finishing [...]
I now realize that I’ve turned into what I think of as a “real” blogger. I just spent a whole bunch of time looking around and thinking about an appropriate picture or graphic to stick on this post. That’s what “real” bloggers and writers have, isn’t it? To help take up some of the blank [...]
Today I’m guest posting over at Cassandra Carr’s blog. The title of my opus? Coming Clean About My Dirty Mind. You can click the link there and go and see what I’m talking about. My kiddos have both been sick the last few days. One of them with croup, the other spiked a fever and [...]
