Writing

  • 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??).…

  • RoW80 Check-In: January 18th!

    “‘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…

  • Writer Quotes: Goethe.

    “The world is so great and rich, and life so full of variety, that you can never lack occasions for poems.” -J.W. Goethe …or stories, for that matter. I love this quote so incredibly much. Everyone who reads me regularly knows about my affliction with W.A.D.D., making it pretty damn hard for me to be…

  • Like a Bridge Over Troubled Waters.

    Though I can’t remember the details of it anymore, I woke up this morning with the trails of a dream that could have made a good story. I’m a little disappointed that everything between waking up and sitting in front of my computer to write this blog has eradicated most of the detail, but I…

  • RoW80 Check-In: January 15th!

    “‘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…

  • Flash Fiction Friday!

    At the moment, I’m deciding to keep the Flash Fiction Friday challenges. Fridays are usually a little low on creative juices for me, so it’s a good way to spark them up again, especially since I’ve been getting Fridays off lately (blissful!), and I’d love to get a lot of catch-up work on my RoW80…

  • Curses!

    Maybe it was Jennifer M. Eaton’s recent post on annoying language and trendy words that got my brain gears going on doing a post about this, or maybe it was just I didn’t have anything else to write about, or maybe it was a combination of the two of them, but today, I d ecided…

  • RoW80 Check-in: January 11th.

    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…

  • Writer Quotes: Doctorow.

    “Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” -E.L. Doctorow Maybe it’s just that I’m not quite awake yet this morning (one of the risks of being a morning blogger!); maybe I just haven’t had…
