Hey everyone, I'm so sorry that I went dark for the past week. As I bet you can guess, it's been hard ever since the move for me to figure out where my head is. Some of my health issues are coming back in force (I've never made much of a secret with my depression, … Continue reading Changes to the Schedule

Well, I don't quite have the accolades that my dear friend Amanda over at The Spotted Writer has, but I've been dutifully plugging away at this blog consistently since January of 2013, and off and on since 2008. I have no awards save my NaNoWriMo winner sheets, and haven't done much in the way of … Continue reading Blog Hop Stop: Here Off the Beaten Path
Friday means fiction, so go check out Chapter 3 of my serial Quest to Karantiri here! All three chapters are right on my website, so don't worry if you haven't read it before. You can catch up, and then follow along every Friday as I post new chapters! I'm exceptionally excited to keep sharing this with … Continue reading Serial Update: Chapter 3!
Because it's just that simple. I've seen too many articles like this. Stories with titles exactly like or very close to that, who talk about having a spark of inspiration, deciding to leave everything behind and write a book. Inevitably they poke out something that looks like a book, feed it to a few agents, … Continue reading How to Quit Your Job and Make Millions as an Indie Author
Anyone? C'mon, someone tell me they get the title. Please? *ahem* In any event. So this past month was the second summer session for Camp NaNoWriMo. As you all may know, I'm a huge supporter and fan of the November NaNo proper, and have served as an ML for two years now. However, my endeavors … Continue reading Failure, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Process
So I know this isn't quite my normal thing to talk about, but it's justified and I think a cool idea, especially for authors trying to find their footing and wrangle themselves an audience. So I'm going to give you a debrief on what I got to do and experience while at Anthrocon in Pittsburgh. … Continue reading Debrief: Anthrocon
Yup, the time is finally here. The anthology in which my first published work appears is finally out for both paperback and Kindle formats. POWERLESS AGAINST YOU features my short story "Toeing the Line", which follows the unlikely and potentially dangerous of a romance between a supervillain...and a member of law enforcement. (Ooooooh.) I'm very keen … Continue reading Book Launch!
TRIGGER WARNING. I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT DEPRESSION. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT DEPRESSION, YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T READ THIS ONE. I've hit this odd intersection in my writing. See, I've heard a lot about anti-depressants/anti-anxiety meds and whatnot, and that creative sorts (writers, musicians, etc) have had a lot of trouble with them. … Continue reading Writing and Depression
This is another of my somewhat lazy blog posts, but I think it's a good reflection to put up here, especially given my silence in the blogging world this week. Again, this has been copy and pasted from my weekly inspirational newsletter. Contact me directly if you are interested in receiving the emails. I’ve struggled … Continue reading How to Write When You Can’t, or: Defeating the Kobayashi Maru
Again, I'm cheating a little, but I liked this topic. I send out a newsletter every Wednesday (which anyone is welcome to receive, if they don't already!) which tries to lend some mid-week inspiration to my fellow writers. After struggling with the topic myself for sometime, I've tackled the concept of taking advice. What follows … Continue reading Don’t Tell Me What to Think
I am not lost...
