I wasn't really going to post any more snippets of the novel, but I recently had a rather nice request for more, and because I'm a softie, I have relented. Lol. This piece is from Chapter 20, the chapter I am currently writing. However, I actually wrote this back in November, and it's still one of my favorite scenes of the entire project to date. When I went back to reread and decide what to post today, I had to share this one. And honestly, seriously... I don't remember writing this AT ALL! Ha! ... View Post
Writing Prompt Wednesday: 2 paragraphs from page 7!
Yes, today, I am being "lazy". Lazy in that I don't want this particular post to take up too much time, because I've only made my 1000 word/day goal about two days out of fifteen this month, and I plan on making it today! So. I happened to be tagged on Facebook by another author friend (Lisa Kumar, go check her out!) to post two paragraphs from page 7 of my current WIP yesterday, therefore, I've decided those two paragraphs will also be the stars of today's WPW! :) So, without further ado, ...

How Writing a Novel's Rough Draft is Like Taking a Really Long Road Trip…
Through No-Man's Land. In a foreign country. At night. With one headlight. And a dodgy map.... It goes something like this. Okay. I'm starting to get the hang of this now. I'm starting to know what to expect. I'm starting to figure out how to ride this bull. No wait, let's just stick with the road trip analogy. Less confusing that way. So. I've got a map of where I'm going and where I eventually need to be - that would be your vague outline, the one I suggested you create during ... View Post

That's right people! It's a BRAND NEW FREAKIN' YEAR!!!!And I'm ready to KICK IT'S ASS!!! ;)How 'bout you?I really like New Year's Day. It's a new leaf, a fresh start, a clean slate, whatever other analogies you'd like to make. They're all true.

Bait, Fish, and Reel Report for December 2013
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
Trial By Fire: Lessons and Habits Finally Realized and Learned in NaNoWriMo Year 2
And I thought I'd learned a lot from my first year of participation in NaNoWriMo. Pah. I confess that my transition, I feel, was a bit rockier than most in the beginning last year, likely because up until that point I had spent the previous nine years writing only fanfiction, which is a completely different beast than original fiction (and NOT just for the obvious reasons, but that's a whole different post...). It took me awhile to settle into the original fiction brain last year. But this ... View Post
