  • RoW80 Check-In: May 9th!

    “Gilferen couldn’t handle it anymore. He had the stone in his hand now and held it aloft. ‘Here it is,’ he shouted and promptly delivered it straight into the skull of its previous owner. It made a strange, dull sound, and the bear’s big, muscular body collapsed onto the floor, finally motionless.” This past week…

  • The 100 Books Project: Eaters of the Dead.

    “…but I knew them to be mortal, and they could die.” “Eaters of the Dead” by Michael Crichton Without a doubt, I’m a part of the camp that believes that the book is almost always better. I don’t think it takes much to be apart of that camp; most people are. But there are always…

  • Flash Fiction Friday…on Sunday! May 6th.

    It’s kind of funny that I never got around to posting this yesterday or the day before, considering the paragraph I had written talked all about how the midnight Avengers showing really didn’t get me off track or out of the loop as much as I thought it would, and then, next thing I know,…

  • RoW80 Update: May 2nd!

    “‘A misunderstanding?’ the man barked with disdain. A rough laugh exploded from his mouth. ‘Ha! Because there are so many sticky-fingered pale Northerners in this city to confuse you with. You took the stone, and I want it back.’” Things are starting to settle slightly back into order for me, though I know it’s going…

  • The 100 Books Project: Shadow Academy.

    “So far, Tenel Ka had managed to tread a fine line between pleasing and annoying her grandmother. She knew that is she stepped over that line too far, assassins might some day pay her a visit…” “Star Wars: Young Jedi Knights: Shadow Academy” by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta Any Star Wars fan will…

  • RoW80 Update: April 29th!

    “‘Where is it?’ the man growled, hissing through clenched teeth. He brought Locke’s face roughly up to his own. ‘What have you done with it?’” Man, it’s hard to believe it’s Sunday already, time for another Round of Words in 80 Days check-in. My schedule for this week was altered from its usual course, which…

  • Flash Fiction Friday! April 27th.

    Fridays here on my blog are always an opportunity not only to share pretty pictures with my readers, but also gives me the chance to hone my writing skills a little and hopefully inspire others to hone theirs in a similar fashion. Sometimes, the pieces flop. Sometimes, I’m pulling for teeth. But other times, the…

  • Calling All Beta Readers!

    The time has come (the walrus said…) to send up the call for beta readers! By the end of the day today, I should have the complete rough draft of Bowlful of Bunnies, my short story collection, ready for review. It should be just under 100 single-spaced typed pages on Microsoft Word, and I’ve lost…

  • RoW80 Update: April 25th!

    “‘You are being followed,’ she whispered. She lifted her eyes, holding Gilferen’s gaze for a long, warning moment, and he knew she was fighting to glance toward the person she knew was hidden behind them in the shadows.” This morning (and all day tomorrow) are finally the days this week where I can actually get…

  • If Only I Could Wake Up at Three AM…

    Do you ever feel that the writing bug (or any creative bug for that matter) bites hardest when you don’t have time to work on? I certainly do, and I’m feeling the brunt of this phenomenon right now. I sort of knew this would happen; I know how I work, and it seems that I…
