Sorry it’s late, guys. I have a snot-squid in my head, and it’s not being very cooperative. That being said, it’s still Monday! So here it is…. Schrodinger! Come on, it’s almost time for the bell to ring! I’m coming! Schrodinger stretched his legs, straining a bit to keep up with Jack. Remember, …

(advent) Sunday, December 1
Posted on December 1, 2013
“Hey, Schrodinger!” Molly’s voice echoed though the tea room, puncturing his dreams like an arrow through a water balloon. Shards of thoughts fell around him, startling him. Not that he really minded: the dream had been dark, full of something horrible that he had to get away from, even as he couldn’t figure out …
(advent) November 30 – a prologue
Posted on November 30, 2013
Molly Barrett hummed to herself as she kneaded bread dough. There were four more loaves already rising in bread pans lined up on the stove, and five loaves in the oven. That would be enough bread for sandwiches for at least six days, provided Drew didn’t snitch a loaf for the Station. Maybe I’d better …
(advent) Taking a look back
Posted on November 25, 2013
I promised in the Get Published podcast that I would put the links up for the other two Advent stories. If you missed them, or if you just wanted to remind yourself of the world of Carter’s Cove, here they are: The first Advent story started here: https://vg-ford.com/?p=317 The second Advent story started here: https://vg-ford.com/?p=850 …

Posted on November 25, 2013
So, in case you missed it, I chatted with Mitchell Plested of the Get Published! podcast yesterday about serial writing in general, and the Carter’s Cove Advent stories in particular.

(advent) Upcoming goodies!
Posted on November 19, 2013
I’m sorry, folks. I’ve been neglecting the blog this month, because I’m knee-deep in the Advent story for next month, and it’s NaNo, and yeah, that’s not an excuse, but there it is. However, I have some goodies coming up, and I wanted to let you know! First, I’ll be on Mitchell Plested’s Get …
(writing) Realizations
Posted on August 16, 2013
It’s been a week of those for me. Realizations that my almost 40-year-old body cannot exist on 3 hours of sleep and amazing amounts of caffeine and sugar. Realizations that it’s okay to say “No, I can’t do that tonight, because I’m exhausted.” Realizations that I don’t write like everyone else, and that’s okay. …
(writing) TGIF – seriously.
Posted on August 9, 2013
I should have remembered that Remicade weeks knock me for a loop. I”m sorry I didn’t have a review for you guys for Wednesday, but I was so exhausted Monday and Tuesday that I just barely did my minimum for writing. Between the Remicade and my allergies (which are just awful this year. I swear, …
(writing) We’ve crossed the 40k mark
Posted on May 16, 2013
That’s right. In 2013 so far, I have written over 40,000 words. That’s amazing. That’s almost a NaNo novel. It might be more than I wrote in total last year. And it’s only halfway through May. I’m seriously impressed. And the big thing is that I’m doing it steadily, a little at a …
(advent) December 25 – Merry Christmas
Posted on December 25, 2012
The reindeer leapt forward through the snow, seemingly tireless. Molly, Drew and Schrodinger were snuggled in the back, under a mountain of furs, protected from the wind by the tall figure of Old Man Winter. Drew and Schrodinger had succumbed to sleep at some point during the long ride, but Molly couldn’t, despite her fatigue. …
