• Not like the Candy.

    Some of you dear readers are well-aware that, when it comes to games on my Kindle, I’m a little obsessed. One of the nice things about these games is that, in order to make any progress without spending money on it, you have to have a lot of patience, waiting a few hours or even…

  • Writer Quotes: Singer.

    “The wastebasket is a writer’s best friend.” ~Isaac Bashevis Singer I would actually give this quote a follow-up quote from myself. The wastebasket is a writer’s best friend, and a writer is a tree’s worst enemy. As someone on the cusp of completely scraping (well, not scrapping in the literal sense, as I imagine I’ll…

  • There was another sound, this time from the man who owned the burning inferno around them. She thought it was an expression of pain at first, but then she recognized it as a sob. Shaking and sobbing beside her, dampening her shoulder and making her feel utterly helpless. This man had almost died and now…

  • Flash Fiction Friday!

    Okay, everyone get out the party hats and the noisemakers, because it’s Friday! Whoo hoo! Fridays are excellent days because they are tending to be my day off, and it’s also the day I post a pretty picture and ask people to write crap about it. Also, there’s said to be a nice six-incher snow…

    This morning, a wonderful thing happened and, like most wonderful things, I’m pretty sure it’s also a bat shit crazy.

  • “‘They do know that old dynasties did use the caves out here for coffers,” Hederrick offered, though he looked extremely reluctant to do so.

  • Writer Quotes: Goethe.

    “The world is so great and rich, and life so full of variety, that you can never lack occasions for poems.” -J.W. Goethe …or stories, for that matter. I love this quote so incredibly much. Everyone who reads me regularly knows about my affliction with W.A.D.D., making it pretty damn hard for me to be…

  • Though I can’t remember the details of it anymore, I woke up this morning with the trails of a dream that could have made a good story. I’m a little disappointed that everything between waking up and sitting in front of my computer to write this blog has eradicated most of the detail, but I…

  • “‘You guys haven’t heard of it?’ Jaxson was grinning the crooked grin he wore whenever he knew something the others didn’t, which happened more often than Locke wanted to admit. ‘It was all over the gambling tables in Redaea. There’s said to be a hidden treasure cave out here, filled with all the ancient riches…

  • Writer Quotes: Cherryh.

    “It is perfectly okay to write garbage–as long as you edit brilliantly.” -C.H. Cherryh I’ve been doing a lot of editing and digging up old pieces and trying to make them sparkle and shiny and new again, so quotes about editing in particular have been appealing to me lately. Mostly because, while I’m editing, anything…
