Project List for May 2014

By the end of May 2014, I will: Edit and submit short story "Gray" to Daily Science Fiction (eh ... nope) Finish current WIP novel backstory scenes (as done as they will be for now, anyway 6.12.14) Attend Kansas City's ConQuesT 45 convention over Memorial Day weekend.

Bait, Fish, and Reel Report for April 2014

Someone once said that to be a successful and productive writer, one had to do the equivalent of “cutting bait, fishing, and reeling ‘em in, all at the same time”! This translates to writing as working on projects-in-progress while at the same time submitting completed projects to potential markets and also continuing to cultivate new ideas for future projects. In case you missed my previous post on this subject, at the end of every month I compile a list of what I accomplished as far as ... View Post

Writing Prompt Wednesday: A snippet from Chapter 20 of "The Good Thing", the WIP novel.

As usual, please keep in mind this is unedited, and names of organizations are merely placeholders and ... View Post

The Writing Process Blog Hop!

Well at long, long last, it is time for me to fulfill my duty in participating in and passing along this wonderful and superbly interesting Writing Process Blog Hop!

The rules are as follows: I have to answer 4 questions, then tag 4 other brilliant bloggers to carry on the torch. And that's it! So. To the questions! 1) What are you working on? My main ...

Project List for February 2014

Yep. Behind. :P Boy this month is kicking my butt already! (Half the office is out this week, meaning I have to work full time instead of part time and can't take any time off, one of the grandmas is out of town as well, meaning I have one less babysitter, and I'm supposed to be running a half-marathon in ten days and have only reached 4 miles in my training... *hyperventilates*... *channels calm*... okay anyway, let's continue, shall we?!) Let's see if I can scrape things together and get ... View Post
