At least I think so. I realized today that I haven’t written any fiction since February 1st. I was coming down with a cold as we left writer’s group that night, and today was the first day I’ve had the brain power to write. Unsurprisingly, it was because I heard a song. The song was […]

I haven’t been able to get any writing done since Thursday, because my cold has been keeping me completely fuzzy headed. There may be some things that I could write when I’m fuzzy headed, but the stories I have on tap right now are not the right sort. Instead, I’ve been doing a little bit […]

A friend of mine pointed me in the direction of a Kickstarter for Story Forge. I love Kickstarter in general, but I also love this idea. An 88-card deck designed to help jumpstart your brain for writing, gaming, or whatever else you can think of. This sort of thing is PERFECT for me. Jeremy likes […]

This weekend, I went to RustyCon with my husband, who was on several panels about writing and gaming. I ended up tagging along to all of the panels he was on, and then found some other panels that we were both interested in as well. I didn’t actually head down until mid-afternoon on Saturday, because […]

In just a few more hours, my ride arrives to drop me off at my other ride, which will then take me to a writer’s retreat. We’ve got 9 women writers who are renting a house for the long weekend in order to get some writing done. I’ve personally got seven different projects that I […]

So first, I realized that I didn’t want to write my vampire novel. Okay, that’s fixable. Then, I cobbled together an outline for my YA steampunk novel, and it looked awesome. But then I started writing. And I was writing about 1,000 word chapters, because that’s what felt right. But when you only have 25 […]

So I started out at the midnight write-in last night working on a sort of urban fantasy/horror novel involving vampires. I got about 1,300 words done, and called it a night. In the course of that, I switched from third person to first person, because the words just weren’t coming out in third person. Then […]

I’m posting this up for the world to see, in the hopes that it will help me to stay on target. Title pending (fantasy with a slight tinge of horror): About 1,400 words in. I’ve tentatively outlined out what the remaining scenes need to be, and now I just have to write them. I’m hoping […]

My writing has been slow lately, because I’ve been busy with my wedding, which was this past Saturday. As our guests trickled in before the ceremony, I noticed that our various friends were clustering in small groups. We had the roller derby group, the gamer group, and, of course, the writer group. Most of the […]

I’ve got a bunch of stories that should be in the works. I almost outlined one of them, for the Steampunk Shakespeare anthology. I say almost outlined, because I’m not a big outliner. Most of my stories just tend to flow in semi-random directions, and then get cleaned up later on. But this story needed […]
