The "Finished Story" Feeling

Apparently there is a magic story length that exists and when I write a story of that magic length, I get a fabulous "finished story" feeling afterward. I do not get this feeling with shorter short stories. But I do get it after writing longer/longish short stories or very long novels. Not sure that 3000 words really cuts it, but 5000 and up does, for some reason. July 2015 was a terrible month for me, for various reasons. I have chronicled the difficulties of the month and how I still managed ... View Post

Bait, Fish, and Reel Report for June 2015!

As per usual, I feel like I didn't accomplish much last month. But upon reflection, I realize it wasn't as bad as it feels, really.

Wrote about 2000 words toward the LOTR fanfic. Listened/read the entire 350ish page book Write.Publish.Repeat. Set up and paid for a mailbox for Wordwraith Books use. Bought ... View Post

Giving Myself Permission to JUST. WRITE.

You may have noticed I am blogging significantly less than I used to. At the very least, I used to be pretty good about my Writing Prompt Wednesday posts. But not so these days. These days I can scarce keep up with my monthly goal posts and monthly what-in-the-crap-did-I-actually-do-this-month posts. Part of this is due to me now writing on a weekly basis for Doctor Who Watch (thus, less time for my own blogging). Part of this is due to the fact that blogging takes up a great deal of energy for ... View Post

My First Official Publication! (and a few other BIG announcements!)

All right, *technically* it's not my first official publication. I *did* have those scientific research papers that had my name on them, published in peer-reviewed journals. And I *did* have a blog post as a Friday Feature article in the online Woven Tale Press magazine. But I count *this one* as my first official publication because, after plugging away at this original fiction writing thing since October 2012, I will finally have something of mine put in a book that is available to the ...
