  • RoW80 Update: January 29th!

    “‘I should have remembered the first rule of hunting,’ he said, so low he may as well have been whispering in Auferrix’s ear. The tone was content and amused, which made her stomach twist with revulsion. ‘If one wishes to be successful in capturing his prey, one cannot do better than to catch her oneself.’”…

  • RoW80 Update: January 25th!

    “Lookie here.” There was a grin lurking deep in the shadows of his helmet. “I caught myself a little snake.” But snakes were known to bite. Thanks to a coworker with a bad rash (another consequence of which was my inability to keep from making jokes about herpes), I wound up without my usual Monday…

  • Writer Quotes: Singer.

    “The wastebasket is a writer’s best friend.” ~Isaac Bashevis Singer I would actually give this quote a follow-up quote from myself. The wastebasket is a writer’s best friend, and a writer is a tree’s worst enemy. As someone on the cusp of completely scraping (well, not scrapping in the literal sense, as I imagine I’ll…

  • There was another sound, this time from the man who owned the burning inferno around them. She thought it was an expression of pain at first, but then she recognized it as a sob. Shaking and sobbing beside her, dampening her shoulder and making her feel utterly helpless. This man had almost died and now…

  • The Giant Red Re-do Button.

    This morning, a wonderful thing happened and, like most wonderful things, I’m pretty sure it’s also a bat shit crazy. You see, I was trying to think of something to write about in this blog today, since I’ve already done a writer’s quote, I have no books finished, and it’s still not Friday (WHY NOT??).…

  • “‘They do know that old dynasties did use the caves out here for coffers,” Hederrick offered, though he looked extremely reluctant to do so. His eyes, like Jaxson’s, were steady on the cave and he swallowed hard as if already picturing the possible treasures within. ‘It’s possible we might find something there.’” Well, fellow RoWers…

  • “‘You guys haven’t heard of it?’ Jaxson was grinning the crooked grin he wore whenever he knew something the others didn’t, which happened more often than Locke wanted to admit. ‘It was all over the gambling tables in Redaea. There’s said to be a hidden treasure cave out here, filled with all the ancient riches…

  • Writer Quotes: Cherryh.

    “It is perfectly okay to write garbage–as long as you edit brilliantly.” -C.H. Cherryh I’ve been doing a lot of editing and digging up old pieces and trying to make them sparkle and shiny and new again, so quotes about editing in particular have been appealing to me lately. Mostly because, while I’m editing, anything…

  • The soft voice, the privacy of the question, and the fact that Taluin had tried to brush the hair out of his eyes all made Locke smile a little. ‘Yes,’ he said quietly, followed by a few more coughs, ‘I’m fine.’” It’s hard to believe we’re practically halfway through January already, especially since the weather…

  • Ahhh, all is right in the world. A new Round has begun at A Round of Words in 80 Days, which means it’s time for a Wednesday check-in! It just seems right and proper, having a check-in on Wednesdays again. I don’t think I’ve fully gotten back into the “regular world” mindset of the post-holiday…
