• The River Runs Dry.

    Some days, you just can’t think of anything to post. Most of those days, I just don’t post. No big deal; I learned a while ago that there’s no point in stressing out over blogging every day. Other days, I realize I keep dying on HabitRPG, so I should post so don’t lose as many…

  • In transcribing the current draft of Serpent in a Cage, as well as going through an old version of it, I came to the realization that I love a good fever dream. I’ve remarked about it on Twitter a few times, but it’s only until recently that I realized how much I use it. Both…

  • You know what I just thought of, while editing my Snow-White and Red-Rose retelling? Writing advice is always a little strange, quite a bit of give-and-take, since everyone has different styles and a lot of people effectively break the rules and create wonderful stuff. I’ve always taken the “Writing Rules” as general guidelines, but I…

  • I’ve reached the point in my RoW80 journey where my first goal is basically complete. Soulless has been shipped off to beta readers and the Kickstarter has launched. There’s little to do with it now except continue to plan for my cover design (which image do you like best?) and promoting aforementioned Kickstarter (without getting…

  • “Love is easy, and I love writing.” -Ray Bradbury. And I love Ray Bradbury (though I could really stand to have read more of his work). He’s easily the most quoted author on my blog, and I keep stumbling across more kernels of wisdom from him, making me decide that I would have really loved…

  • Okay, so, today is yet another “sort-of” RoW80 update, because it’s focusing on a single goal and a single thing rather than a few of them. You may have noticed on my last update that I finished my goal of getting the first draft of Soulless edited and sent out to beta readers. Now that…

  • Well. I finally forced myself to step away from the manuscript and send copies of Soulless out to my beta readers (and I’d still love to take on a few more, if anyone else would like to help me out! Just let me know!), which means I have to step away and leave it alone…

  • ACEN!

    Rather unexpectedly, I’m finding myself actually able to make it to Anime Central in Rosemont this year. While C2E2 is definitely my preferred Chicago-area convention, I wasn’t able to make it this year, so the impromtpu chance to hit up ACen was a nice surprise. ACen was actually my first con, so it has a…

  • Today’s Round of Words in 80 Days check-in is going to be a little bit different from my usual ones. First of all, there will be no breaking down of goals (although, really, I only have two main goals this round, so that basically means I won’t be talking about one of them). Because today…

  • Okay, so, since this is a writer’s blog, I don’t usually use this space to promote anything other than writing related things, but I’m making an exception today because something amazing happened this weekend. For a while now, after learning about it via a great deal on Living Social, I discovered Artizone, a great grocery…
