  • RoW80 Update: Them Pesky Goals.

    Here we are, moseying on up to another RoW80 check-in, and I still don’t feel like I’ve done anything to develop new goals for the round. It isn’t that I haven’t been getting anything done, I have, but, with balancing the new part-time job and deciding on a new project while Soulless is off to…

  • Step Away from the Manuscript!

    Well. I finally forced myself to step away from the manuscript and send copies of Soulless out to my beta readers (and I’d still love to take on a few more, if anyone else would like to help me out! Just let me know!), which means I have to step away and leave it alone…

  • RoW80 Check-In: Call for Beta Readers!

    Today’s Round of Words in 80 Days check-in is going to be a little bit different from my usual ones. First of all, there will be no breaking down of goals (although, really, I only have two main goals this round, so that basically means I won’t be talking about one of them). Because today…

  • RoW80 Check-In: Nice While It Lasted.

    So, it’s official. I’m now part-time employed at a local grocery store as a cashier, thus dashing my plans of working on nothing but my writing for the time being. Granted, I’ve asked for only around ten hours a week and it’s significantly less demanding than my previous full-time assistant general manager position, but part…

  • RoW80 Check-In: Steady as she Goes.

    Well, we’ve taken a dive into May, the weather outside actually felt quite a bit like springtime for a change, and it’s time for another RoW80 Update! I have pretty “boring,” steady goals, so the update isn’t exactly exciting, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. No news is good news when it comes to…

  • Author Quotes: Colette.

    “Put down everything that comes into your head and then you’re a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff’s worth, without pity, and destroy most of it.” –Colette Being heavy in the middle of editing the clunkiest and most uninspired part of Soulless, I can definitely relate to Colette’s quote…

  • The Murky, Muddled Middle.

    I knew this was going to happen. It was looming there like a dark cloud on the horizon, and now that I’ve reached it, it’s releasing its gloomy rain all up on my biznas. I’m talking about the murky, muddled middle of Soulless. I knew it was there, I knew that it sucked, and now…

  • The Disappearing Horse.

    Editing a novel is a pretty interesting experience. I’ve done it before with Serpent in a Cage and the result was feeling that the book was such a mess that it had to go through a complete upheaval and be entirely rewritten. So Soulless is the first novel I’m sitting down to edit with a…

  • RoW80 Update: Wednesday Already?

    Due to my current bout of Writer’s Fatigue, the last few days have been kind of a mopey blur, and I can’t believe it’s already time for a Wednesday RoW80 update. Weird how time, for something measured in such precise and specific increments, seems to relatively fluctuate immensely. Either way, despite feeling like I haven’t…

  • RoW80 Update: Almost Settled.

    It’s been almost a month now since I quit working full-time to focus on my writing, and I have to say, I think I’m almost settled into my new work routine. It’s still totally surreal, and I usually feel guilty during the evening because, though I have gotten a lot of work done, it doesn’t…
