  • RoW80 Check-In: November 16th!

    “There were no signs of scheming on that bold, frank face, though. Just the same hard determination that had always been there, with the faint mist of something else clouding his eyes. On closer inspection, Gilferen could find those eyes steadily on the back of Taluin Sera Cohl, on the long pale braid swaying slightly…

  • RoW80 Check-In: November 13th!

    “She said they would talk, but, only a few moments after Kadue had started to gentle stroke her hair, she had fallen into a deep, undisturbed, and desperately needed sleep. He stayed with her the entire night, helping her back into her shackles when the morning inevitably came.” I’ve said it before and I’ll probably…

  • RoW80 Check-In: October 23rd.

    Since the last check-in for A Round of Words in 80 Days, things have been…off for me. I’m not sure exactly what it is, since I usually have such a great enthusiasm and energy for my writing, but these past few days, it’s like my writing wanted to just take a break. I think the…

  • RoW80 Check-In: October 19th.

    “Locke felt as though they were like wild dogs, circling each other with bared teeth, trying to pick up the scent of who would attack first.” Today’s check-in will be a pretty brief one. I’m a little bummed because my plans to spend most of the day working on my writing and getting this new…

  • RoW80 Check-In: October 9th, 2011.

    “ ‘Some hooligan,’ he said, loftily, making himself sound more offended by such events than he actually was, ‘decided to pick a fight with me, merely on the grounds o fmy having been in his way. Or,’ and here he maintained the attitude for drama, ‘on the grounds of having a gigantic bug wedged up…

  • RoW80 Check-In: October 5th.

    “Carefully, slowly, he stood, knowing that the world would spin crazily around him when he did. He sucked in a breath to keep himself afloat in the swirling vertigo and counted to ten. He opened his eyes and exhaled. He was dizzy, nauseous, and he’d started to sweat, but he was standing and ready to…

  • RoW80 Round 4 – Begin!

    “‘…Once a Battarack, always a Battarack, Taluin. So please. Let us help you.’” It’s that time again, ladies and gentlemen! Today starts Round 4 of the spectacular Round of Words in 80 Days! For my readers who might not be familiar with RoW80 (which seems impossible because it probably comprises of about 25% of what…

  • Fractures Fairy Tales.

    It feels so strange to be writing a regular post rather than one for RoW80 on a Sunday, but I’ll give it a whirl, anyway, especially since I missed a post twice this week, if I remember correctly. The weekend in general had been an odd one for me. Not only did I fail to…

  • Fickle Focus…

    Since it’s the last few days of A Round of Words in 80 Days, most of my writing focus is going to be staunchly on getting to the big POV switch in Serpent in a Cage, but, of course, since I’m trying to focus on something, my mind is wandering a little toward other things…

  • Redneck Hipster Vampires and the Importance of Friends.

    I have two exciting things to write about in this blog today, and the first I wasn’t sure if I should bother with since it doesn’t necessarily have to do with writing, but it does have to do with the writer’s sanity. Allow me to proudly and happily declare that it is Friday, which means…
