  • Belated RoW80 Check-In: December 11th/12th!

    “He knew they would be flowery words to win Taluin over, but, glancing toward Hederrick looking back at them with surly impatience, Locke realized that what he said was mostly true. If this thing was going to work, if they wanted to cut the others to the chase, things would have to smooth out between…

  • RoW80 Check-In: December 7th!

    “Looking at Estialog and his tired eyes, his hunching shoulders, the intricate lines across his sallow, grey skin, Gilferen realized that Knolan was not nearly as old as he and Locke made him out to seem. It was merely that they were so young.” Fellow readers, RoWers, and enthusiasts, brace yourself. I’m about to deliver…

  • RoW80 Check-In: December 4th!

    “‘Temperamental?’ asked Jaxson, who didn’t know any better, his voice dripping with his sarcasm. ‘I know our young Gilferen here has a penchant for putting fire in women’s hearts, but this easily exceeds any prior scorned lovers thus far. What’d he do, love? Nasty disease, was it?’” Though this Sunday seems distinctly lacking in sun…

  • Flash Fiction Friday?

    I don’t usually do “themed” posts. With the exception of RoW80 check-ins, I usually just write all willy-nilly about whatever may come to my mind and present itself more freely. This morning, though, after a long and crazy (in a good way!) week, I’m feeling at a loss for what to write about. Call it…

  • #NaNoWriMo and some Thoughts.

    It’s December 1st, and I did not win NaNoWriMo this year, just as I have not won it in the past three years that I’ve made the effort. I have to admit, though, I made a hell of a good showing and got much more dedicated, focused, and further along than I have in any…

  • RoW80 Check-in: November 30th!

    “‘Are you crazy?’ he demanded back, throwing up his arms in frustration. ‘Why would I be following you? Me and my five friends, no less, because we’ve nothing better to do than stalk around, following mad women through the streets. Hadesari’s Mask! What did I do to piss off the Ana’aea’aek now?’” Happy Wednesday, everyone,…

  • Yesterday was one of those days that show up and make me realized exactly how much I want to be a writer. After a long, stressful weekend pushing the sales market, it felt so incredibly fulfilling to just spend a day, working on my craft, writing up a storm, maintaining the housework, and reading through…

  • RoW80 Check-in: November 27th!

    “And so they continued up the gradual slope toward the stables, while Gilferen contended with the knot of dread in his stomach. It wasn’t exactly the gobbits that caused it, or even the dangers and discomfort of the desert ahead of them. It was just a good, old-fashioned bad feeling and he glanced toward the…

  • RoW80 Check-In: November 23rd!

    “Naturally, it was with those final words that the gobbit released a massive sneeze, narrowly missing Taluin’s outstretched hand with a trajectory of thick, milky mucus. Placidly, it licked what remained dripping from his nose. ‘Oh, yes,’ Gilferen murmured, almost losing his straight face thanks to Locke’s snickering. ‘They’re just lovely.’” Hello, everyone! Today is…

  • Writer Quotes: Abbey.

    “I’m one of those writers who, when writing, believes she’s god-and that she hasn’t bestowed free will on any of her characters. In that sense there are no surprises in any of my books.” -Lynn Abbey I chose this quote today because it’s the complete opposite of how I feel when I write, and that…
