So I'm writing a romance novel, slowly but surely. I'll likely publish it under a different name (because...reasons) but I'll share the first chapter of it with you here. Maybe you'll find it on your shelves someday... We meet our male protagonist here: Nathan. He's got a long history of being in my head, and … Continue reading Chapter 1 – Experiment

I came across a writing exercise in my hunt for Fiction Friday ideas, and found one in a book I have (and I have no memory of where I picked it up) but it struck me as interesting. It asked us, as writers, to imagine what our ideal writing space would be--and then to write … Continue reading Ideal Writing Space
So in deciding to write these to prompts I found, I'm rapidly realizing that I don't have nearly the amount of prompts I thought I did...and the ones I do have aren't as good as I remember. This is irksome, and I'm going to be on a quest to fix it. BUT! For now, I've … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Just One Look
So for the first time--I think--in my entire tenure as a NetGalley reviewer, I actually have a feedback ratio above 80%. Woo! (This is where they recommend your ratio to be.) It's not come without some effort, and it should get higher as I continue to review some of the books I have. But oh … Continue reading Don’t Tell Me You Don’t Have Time
I love fiction prompts. I don't work with them nearly enough, but some of my favorite things have come out of prompts I had in workshops. And since I've been struggling to figure out what to share here on Fridays, I figured hey! I've got some books with prompts in them. Why not pick some … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Prompt – Invasion
Continuing on in my quest for books that I lost track of during my early days on NetGalley, we come to one of the few books on the list I remember requesting--and being very irritated when I'd found I'd run out of time for it. That was about all I remembered about it. Reading the … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE WORD EXCHANGE by Alena Graedon
I always seem to run into the same problem right about now. I’ve essentially recovered from the chaos and madness of November, had all of the holidays to rest, and now I’m ready to get back on track--not only with stuff like my eating, but also my writing. I want to have a new project, … Continue reading What’s Next?
So I'm still in flashback mode for now, but since it's Friday the 13th, I had to share this particular piece with you. I'm not one to write a lot of horror, though I'd love to try some day, and this is likely the closest I've gotten. But I still like this, and I wish … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Next Door Neighbor
Remember how I talked about the Editor, and all his nasty tricks we were keeping locked away in November? And then in December, we might let him out, but we were letting that project rest at least for a little while? It's January now. And the editing beast, snarling and slathering, is ready to drip … Continue reading The Beast, Dripping in Red
So since most of my writing lately is self-indulgent fanfic that would make little to no sense to anyone reading this blog, I figured I'd go find something I'd written before to share. I enjoyed going through and finding the old story with the soldier and the child, and figured I had to have something … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY:Look Into the Past
I am not lost...
