[Writer Post] It’s A Book Party
Oh, hey, it really is Wednesday – it’s been one of those strange weeks. It felt like Thursday for a big chunk of the day. The Day Job ran long with a late meeting about a new(ish) project that I didn’t know about until after I was at work today. It’s thrown off my rhythm […]
[Writer Post] Book News and FenCon
Hello, Blog, I told you I’d be back. Did you miss me? FenCon was a whirlwind, exhausting BLAST. I had really great guests of honor to work with – which is good because I was breaking in a staff (and didn’t break THEM). Now to train one of them over the next year to take […]
[Spotlight Post] The Cats of Tanglewood Forest by de Lint and Vess
It’s Friday – and I’m supposed to be coming up with a Spotlight. “Supposed†to being an operative word. Between allergy meds and some “people suck†news. I think I’ll just tell you about the book I’m currently reading. I do know that, in fact, MOST people do not suck, but the ones that do? […]
[Spotlight Post] Katy Stauber and Spin the Sky

She’s so much fun. Fellow writers, if you have the opportunity to work with her at a convention, DO IT. Night Shade […]
[Writer Post] Crowdsourcing a New Title for Novel
On Easter Sunday, I had the impromptu opportunity to converse and have a writing session with the beautiful and talented, Rachel Caine. I happened to be between a rehearsal and an Easter Service. She was on deadline. Starbucks was the common–and necessary–element to this crazy, random, happenstance. And now, this post is a recommendation on […]
Passing Along a WIP Funny…
A while back, I asked if anyone would be interested in seeing portions of my WIP – the novel rewrite – as I did it. Well, beware what you ask for. This novel is also my experiment in using the Fly Fusion Pentop Computer with ink-to-text conversion for any length of time. I knew it […]
Renaming Characters…
I’ve embarked on a new plan to rewrite the very first novel I ever wrote (the one started in high school and finished in college…and reads like I wrote it as a teenager). And by rewrite — I do actually mean rewrite. I’m not pulling out the old file and revising it. I’m starting from […]
Sample Chapters Question…
Would anyone like to see sample chapters of a work in progress posted as they get done?
