THE PROLOGUE IS FINISHED. I repeat: THE PROLOGUE IS FINISHED! Granted, at this point, I expected on having the prologue plus four chapters finished, but that’s okay. It’s just a slow start and this prologue has been a notorious focus point for this novel, wasting way too much of my time. I’ve gotten chapter one…

It might be a little early to start thinking about my August 2011 novel, but, lately, I’ve been having a few dreams that involve big, sprawling, mansion like houses, and last night, I finally had one that made me realize that my imagination is trying to turn back to an old (very old!) project from…

So far, we’ve covered two of the three characters who will dominate the point of view in the rewrite of Serpent in a Cage, which leaves just one more today, so I figured today would be a good day to have a little look at Auferrix Ferrore. Auferrix is quite a bit different from her…

“Writer’s block is a disease for which there is no cure, only respite.” -Terry Guillemets. Though I cannot exactly say I’m suffering from writer’s block at this moment (I’m suffering more of a lack of time), I have to appreciate this quote for all the times I’ve sat there, desiring nothing more than to just…
