Hey there everyone! I know it's been a while since I posted last, and I apologize for that. (Actually as I look back, it's less time than I thought. But it's still more time than is really permissible.) I still owe a good friend a review for her book that I read, and I intend … Continue reading Long Time No See / MFA Programs

Good afternoon, my faithful blog followers. I appreciate anyone reading this, since it means that you've stuck around even when I've got dark. Thanks so much! Here's the scoop: I want to try and start writing in here consistently again. I've been watching my friend and fellow writer Denise Drespling's videos on YouTube lately and … Continue reading Schedules and Writing and Videos…?
Woo! It's getting hard to fit in these posts along with my NaNoWriMo count, but I'm still managing! (If I'm ever late, you'll know why...) So let's not waste words! Straight to the preview! (This is a shorter chapter, I will warn you!) Time was hard to keep track of in the cells. She could … Continue reading Chapter 13 is Live!
This is a great sentiment for Week 2 of NaNoWriMo, but honestly...we all know why I wanted to write this. Capt. Taggart has the right idea. Notoriously, Week 2 is the hardest week of NaNoWriMo. All your great ideas from Week 1 are gone, you hate your novel, you're positive that every word you've written … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Week 2: Never Give Up!

See the chapter here, or start with the prologue here if you haven't read before. Ready for the teaser? Check out below the cut... It was a throne room, just as decadent … Continue reading Chapter 12 is Live!
For the month of November, I'm taking it as my civil duty to help out the Wrimos of the world. If you've been around for a while, you may have seen my guest post last November over on Denise Drespling's blog (if you're new in town, you can read my post here) about how I believe … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Week 1 – Is It Secret? Is It Safe?
Hello and welcome to the Halloween edition of Quest to Karantiri! This isn't planned in the least (no seriously it's not) but I think this is a very apt chapter to be posted on Hallowe'en. It's my favorite holiday, and this chapter begins one of my favorite arcs in the story (and really, the first … Continue reading Chapter 11 is Live!
Everyone who knows something about me and my writing knows my passion for the National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, that goes on every November. I've attempted the challenge every year since 2006, and completed it every year since 2008. I've been an ML for three years (including this one) and I actively try to … Continue reading November is Coming…
...and I'd like to wipe them out. Yes, you heard me. I want these books off of my shelf. I want the whole shelf to be empty. I want all the books gone. Here's the bookshelf that lives next to my desk: Don't mind the cat food. I share my space, as any good cat … Continue reading I’ve Got Some Books On My Shelf…
I've gotten this question so many times. Once people find out I'm a writer, I inevitably get asked the same series of questions. What genre do you write in? What age range? So on and so forth. And it always comes down to this: "So, what are you working on?" If I had a nickel … Continue reading So, How Many Books Are You Writing?
