This morning, something very exciting and momentous occurred. I unplugged my laptop from its previous spot in the living room downstairs, marched up three flights of stairs into our new second floor apartment, and set it down in the table in our bright kitchen, sunlight pouring in through the wide windows, and did all my…

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…

As I stand on the precipice of the great cliff of my handful of upcoming writing challenges, I’ve been thinking an awful lot about inspiration lately. Mostly on how I haven’t got much of it (at the moment) and how I know that often changes, but what exactly changes that? What happens to cause inspiration…

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…

I have spent far too much time this morning trying to decide what to write in this little space today. I wondered if it was just me, if I was just feeling uninspired this morning, but I realized, after a bit more consideration, that it’s mostly just the usual weekend rut. Working retail, my schedule…

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…

Dear readers, I am positively beat. But I am far from being defeated yet. I am having one of those days where I am painstakingly trying to think of something to write about in this blog space and realizing that all I really want to write is my fiction which, unfortunately, I do not post…

Even though the last thing I need is yet another little project-like thing to fill up my time, I’ve finally decided to check out 750 Words, and, boy, is this ever going to be a mistake or what! I Love it and it really puts into perspective how little writing I actually do at once…

The New Novel Project is being put into hiatus for the moment; outside of RoW80 and NaNo, all my attentions now are going to be into trying to prep something for some e-publishing experimentation. I’ve been wracking my brain about the potential books I can try to spit out in a whirlwind writing frenzy to…
