  • Waiting is the Hardest Part~

    (My boyfriend hates Tom Petty. It’s a good thing he doesn’t read this blog.) The other day, as I was scribbling up some more of Soulless and thinking about what the heck I’m going to do with myself after this book is finally finished and out the door, it hit me that writing requires a…

  • Cover Reveal for Morgan Dragonwillow’s Soul Prompts!

    Now is the time, it seems, for me to be promoting more of my friends, which it is my honor to do. This time, it’s my friend Morgan Dragonwillow, my first non-Canadian, and the source of inspiration for a lot of the stories in my collection Bowlful of Bunnies. In fact, a contest she was…

  • The Weird Weekend Washout.

    Weekends for me have been weird, in that they actually exist. Up until this last month or so, my life had bee pretty basic. For a long time (too long), it was all about work. I was a manager at a retail shop, so my weekends were all about work….and so were my weekdays. I…

  • A Case for Mediocre Fiction.

    This is probably something I shouldn’t be saying ever, much less a month and a half before it’s released, but The Slayer Saga: Soulless is not a great book, not by a long shot. Nor will it be. It would take years of editing and revamping and revisions before it even gets close to greatness,…

  • RoW80 Update: Reflections and Conclusions.

    Round 2 of this year of A Round of Words in 80 Days has officially concluded, and there’s a little bit of time before the next one starts (July 7th! It’ll be here before we know it). A time to reflect and relax and rethink our goals and motivations. It’s also a time to look…

  • 7-7-7.

    The 7-7-7 challenge pops up on the blogosphere quite a bit, most recently for me by Linda Cassidy Lewis (go read them. Go read them now, I’ll wait, because she’s got some good ones!). So what is this all about? Well, you go to your current WIP (I’ll be doing three, I think, just like…

  • #BookADay Post II.

    Well, here we are, for another installment of my somewhat disjointed #BookADay journey through June! Today’s six entries still don’t catch me up, but, by the next post, I should definitely be there, if not a little closer. I’m unable to do this every day, so it’s more #BookEveryFewDays for me. Whatever. It’s a chance…

  • I walk the line.

    If you read my last RoW80 update, you’d have noticed I’m in a little bit of a funk, and, this morning, it hit me like a brick wall exactly why I’ve been feeling that way. I have to admit, it’s pretty uplifting to understand yourself so deeply that you can pinpoint the source of a…
