You know, it’s been a LONG winter. Maybe not GRRM long, but longer than I wanted. Much longer than I wanted. But it’s finally warm out. The snow is gone and there is music in the morning when I go out. I’m still adjusting to my work schedule, but it’s getting easier. I’m not …

(writing) Thoughts on writing a series
Posted on April 6, 2014
Saturday I finished the plot summary for the second novella in the Pendragon Casefiles season 1, which is tentatively titled Deep Waters. My goal for April is to get the plot summaries done for the remaining 5 novellas in the first season for the casefiles, so that I can write them and release them every other …
(writing/personal) A new week, a new season, a new start
Posted on March 24, 2014
Theoretically, it is now spring. *pauses for a look at the snowbanks outside* Theoretically, it’s going to start getting warm any day now. Too bad no one told Mother Nature that. Apparently, whoever was supposed to get her a calendar for Yule forgot. All I know is that it wasn’t me this year. I’ve …
(writing/cons/personal) Decisions to be made
Posted on March 17, 2014
It’s been a long week. I seem to be saying that a lot lately. I think it’s because it’s the end of winter – I’m so tired of the cold, and the snow, and the cold, and did I mention the cold? I hate being cold. I’d so much rather be hot than cold. And …
(writing/personal) Monday, my old enemy, we meet again.
Posted on March 3, 2014
I’m trying really hard to keep updating this blog. I feel bad that it seems to be only on Mondays – I promise, I will get onto more of a schedule soon. Life has just been…well, life, lately. Hubby is still job hunting, and any good thoughts (or job prospects!) that you folks can …
(writing) Need for Speed
Posted on February 26, 2014
I’m not a fast writer. I think my best day was 8k, and boy, was my brain exhausted after that. I average 300 words a day, which is a drop in the bucket for some people. I know writers who routinely do 3-4k a day and consider that a light day. I used to …
(books) Cover reveal of Killing Honor by SM Butler
Posted on February 17, 2014
One of the cool things about being an author is getting to know other authors, and getting to help get the word out about their projects. Last week it was JC Hutchins. This week, my friend SM Butler is showing off the cover of her newest project, Killing Honor. It looks awesome, so check it out! …
(writing) Updates
Posted on February 14, 2014
Wow, I really do suck at this blogging thing, don’t I? I’m working on getting better, I promise. Things have been stupid busy over the last two weeks, and some things have had to give. I’m hoping to get a bunch of stuff up in the next week, though. Here’s what’s been going on. …
