  • “Heartless” Inspiration.

    Excuse me while I drop a ton of images that have totally been inspiring me for the big attempt to write the draft for Heartless in November, mostly found on reddit. I don’t really have much to post today, as I slept in and have to leave for the part-time soon (and I know I…

  • Five Reasons to Submit to World Unknown Review.

    Some of you may be aware that, this year, in addition to publishing my second book, Soulless, I intend to finally published the World Unknown Review, a literary journal of all the short stories I would like to promote and share with the world. I attempted to do this last year, and really dropped the…

  • 7-7-7.

    The 7-7-7 challenge pops up on the blogosphere quite a bit, most recently for me by Linda Cassidy Lewis (go read them. Go read them now, I’ll wait, because she’s got some good ones!). So what is this all about? Well, you go to your current WIP (I’ll be doing three, I think, just like…

  • Horror in 140 Characters or Less.

    I always love coming across interesting little bit of writerly fun out there. Twitter has been both a source of entertainment and a source of torment for me, but, every so often, one of these pop up that make me grateful I have an account. The Penny Dreadful is doing a neat little Twitter competition…

  • Rabbit-Hole Writing Prompt No. 1.

    Over at Mark, Mark posts a lot of very cool, very random images, some of which I find too inspirational to ignore. The other day, he posted this beauty: And I thought, “How perfect!” The imagery, to me, was very “Down the Rabbit-Hole,” which is the theme for the first annual issue of my anthology,…

  • Art Day!!!

    Anyone who also has me as a friend on Facebook has probably noticed that I have what I happily declare as an “ART DAY!!!” just about every Thursday. Lately, my job has been scheduling me fairly consistently (unheard of in retail!), which includes Thursdays free, which is fabulous, because Thursday is the one day that…

  • 10 Characters Meme.

    I was trying to think of something a little light, a little fun, to do on the blog today since I’m definitely out of practice with regular posting and thinking of things to write. With the reclamation of the previously missing draft of Serpent in a Cage, the book has been pretty strong on my…

  • Upward and Onward!

    So, now that Bowlful of Bunnies is out and hopping around (and wow! What a great response! I felt on top of the world yesterday! And I just looked out of curiosity and BoB made it to #94 on the Top 100 Paid Short Stories category, ohmygod!), it’s back to the drawing board and back…

  • Flash Fiction Friday: May 25th.

    Today, I find myself vaguely astounded. One of the things that gets me is that it’s already nearly the end of May, and so soon! This year has been flying by in a whirlwind. I’m not sure if that’s just me, and I’m not sure if it’s necessarily a good thing or a bad thing,…

  • Flash Fiction Friday…on Saturday! May 12th.

    First off, I want to start out with a few unrelated topics. Number one: Naps are awesome. I woke up yesterday morning feeling like butt and, even though I wanted to get some work done, I decided I’d sleep in a little bit, something I very rarely did. I napped for about half an hour…
