I was going through my pictures the other day, and realized just how dark this one is. This is my street, during a snowstorm a few years ago. And it got me to thinking about how dark days, dark winters, really, really affect me. And my writing. I don’t think that it’s a coincidence …

(writing) Thinking about cons and giveaways
Posted on March 1, 2016
Conventions, not con games, that is. I’m getting things ready for rolling out Winter Secrets at Balticon and ConCarolinas this year, and so I’m thinking about these kind of things, which to be honest, are both fun and annoying to me as a writer. Fun, because ooh, what can I give away to get …
(writing) On grooves and getting into them.
Posted on February 28, 2016
It’s Sunday, which has become a writing/editing day for me. There is a wonderful bookstore/cafe in my hometown called Gibson’s Bookstore, that has become one of my favorite places around. I even saw John Scalzi speak here! (It was cool. I was sick, so I stayed away from him, but it was VERY cool. Yes, I’m …
(writing/personal) All the things
Posted on February 24, 2016
Life has been complicated lately. Some things have ended, others have started, and I’m not quite sure how I’m handling all of it. I’m not going to discuss that, or what’s really going on yet. I’m going to talk about writing. I know, shocking. But I’ve not really been writing lately, and I’ve realized …
(personal/writing) Writing in the wind
Posted on February 3, 2016
I’m currently sitting in a comfy chair in an infusion room at UMass Memorial Hospital in Worcester, with an IV in my arm, waiting for my next Remicade infusion. It’s raining outside, and as I’m on the 6th floor, I have a lovely view of the parking lot, and the rain. (Hey, at least it’s …
(writing/personal) Nano on the horizon!
Posted on October 26, 2015
I can’t believe it’s nearly November. This year has flown by. You know what else I can’t believe? I’m going to try and write two novels in November. Yes, I’m probably insane. But, well, what are goals for if not to inspire us, right? I’ve started going to the studio first thing in the morning …
(weekly update) It’s Sunday again – a day of rest, right? No.
Posted on October 11, 2015
Well, in a way it is. I’m in my favorite sweat pants and my DKP teeshirt, and I have no intention of changing. I’m going to move at a pace that still gets things done, but doesn’t wear me out. I’m getting my next Remicade treatment on Wednesday, and I’m still nurturing a cold (which …
(writing) NaNo is coming!
Posted on September 30, 2015
It’s getting colder. I have my first cold of the fall (joy. It didn’t even wait for September 23 to come in, and it’s really overstaying its welcome. But I digress.) and the leaves are changing. And you all know what that means: It’s NaNoWriMo time again! I’m on the site as captain_hobbes, if you …
(personal/writing) A blissful, lazy Sunday
Posted on September 20, 2015
I don’t get many of these anymore. I slept late, had my shake for breakfast (for those who don’t know, I’m doing the Herbalife program right now, and it’s FABULOUS), and already folded a load of laundry while watching last night’s Ghost Adventures. Now, I’ve got a cup of tea, because it’s getting cool again, and …
(writing) More words!
Posted on September 16, 2015
So, um, yeah, I haven’t been writing. *sigh* Well, I am now! Not only am I working on a new book (titled Resonant Frequencies, and quite possibly the beginning of a world that I could write a few books in, if I wanted to), but I’m blogging now over at Dark Knights Paranormal! This is the …
