I never in a million years would have thought I'd ever write something like this. But I agree with the idea that the more limitations you have, the more creative you become. And I needed a writing prompt for today, anyway. So, when Mia and Reece kept talking about narwhals on Twitter (you will have to ask them what started that, I'm only an outside observer! ;) ), I casually mentioned that someone needed to write them a narwhal flash fiction. Of course that someone ended up being ... View Post
COVER REVEAL for “In Death, Everything”!
Good morning, my lovelies! Today I am *THRILLED* to share with you the cover for my soon-to-be-published short story entitled "In Death, Everything". This short was inspired by a poem I wrote a few years ago (by the name of "No Box For Me"), which was in turn inspired by an evening jog, where I saw a 110-year-old headstone in our local cemetery had broken in a recent storm. That got me to thinking. Which led to the poem, which led to this story. I recently decided I would go ahead ... View Post
Writing Goals: Project List for October 2015
Remember when I said October was going to be just as busy as September? Yeah. For some reason I thought it would be a great idea to self-publish two books this month. Silly me. But hey, I also once opened a dog grooming business and barely knew how to groom a dog. And ya know what? I had five clients my very first week. And all five clients ended up being very satisfied and happy clients. So what the hell. I can do this. Sure. *gulp* This month, my writing goals are to: Buy ... View Post
Bait, Fish, and Reel Report for July 2015
It recently came to my attention that I had neglected to post a run-down of what I managed to accomplish during the very terrible month of July 2015! Since it's quite a miracle that I accomplished anything at all, considering (you can read all about that here), I wanted to be sure I documented what I DID get done. (And you can compare this to the monthly goals here.) So, in July 2015, I accomplished the following: - Started work on TWTF extra last chapter (~300 words) - Completed anthology ... View Post
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
Project List for July 2015
Yeah yeah yeah, so July is basically half over. But so what! I'm still going to make this post, for posterity! ;) In July of 2015 (it's Camp NaNoWriMo!), I hope to accomplish the following: - Move website hosting - Transfer content from current domain to new hosted domain - Set up email list on website - Finish last LOTR fanfic chapter based on beta reader feedback and complete the epilogue - Complete Wordwraith's anthology story "Dreamers" during Camp NaNoWriMo - Continue work on Hound of God ...
