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.

ACen was actually my first con, so it has a…

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…
