  • RoW80 Check-in: October 12th.

    “With a flash of red spreading across her face as bright as the flower in her dark hair, Awngel’s eyes widened and she looked poised to slap him. ‘Locke Mandrake Battarack,’ she said stiffly. ‘You are extremely crude.’ ‘But am I incorrect?’ Locke countered, with a plaintive shrug to show that he didn’t have the…

  • RoW80 Check-In: October 9th, 2011.

    “ ‘Some hooligan,’ he said, loftily, making himself sound more offended by such events than he actually was, ‘decided to pick a fight with me, merely on the grounds o fmy having been in his way. Or,’ and here he maintained the attitude for drama, ‘on the grounds of having a gigantic bug wedged up…

  • RoW80 Check-In: October 5th.

    “Carefully, slowly, he stood, knowing that the world would spin crazily around him when he did. He sucked in a breath to keep himself afloat in the swirling vertigo and counted to ten. He opened his eyes and exhaled. He was dizzy, nauseous, and he’d started to sweat, but he was standing and ready to…

  • RoW80 Round 4 – Begin!

    “‘…Once a Battarack, always a Battarack, Taluin. So please. Let us help you.’” It’s that time again, ladies and gentlemen! Today starts Round 4 of the spectacular Round of Words in 80 Days! For my readers who might not be familiar with RoW80 (which seems impossible because it probably comprises of about 25% of what…

  • 6 Month Challenge – Begin!

    It’s October 1st, everyone, and you know what that means! Or, rather, you know what that means if you’ve been reading up on my lately or happen to be reading Sue Healy’s blog, too (if you’re not…you should!). About a week ago, Sue put out that she was going to challenge herself to write a…

  • Getting Your Head in the Game.

    I have not had a very successful last few days. Some things in my life have been a little screwy, and the stress inherent in those things have prevented me from dedicating myself to my craft in the way I had intended. But that’s okay. Life happens, and then you just pick your ambitions back…

  • Are You Up to the Challenge?

    People who know me might be inclined to suggest that my eyes are far bigger than my stomach; I have a tendency to bite off a whole lot more than I can chew sometimes. Lately, though, the prospect of opening myself up to new challenges to force my mind into a more writerly position has…

  • Fractures Fairy Tales.

    It feels so strange to be writing a regular post rather than one for RoW80 on a Sunday, but I’ll give it a whirl, anyway, especially since I missed a post twice this week, if I remember correctly. The weekend in general had been an odd one for me. Not only did I fail to…

  • Fickle Focus…

    Since it’s the last few days of A Round of Words in 80 Days, most of my writing focus is going to be staunchly on getting to the big POV switch in Serpent in a Cage, but, of course, since I’m trying to focus on something, my mind is wandering a little toward other things…

  • Redneck Hipster Vampires and the Importance of Friends.

    I have two exciting things to write about in this blog today, and the first I wasn’t sure if I should bother with since it doesn’t necessarily have to do with writing, but it does have to do with the writer’s sanity. Allow me to proudly and happily declare that it is Friday, which means…
