serpent in a cage

  • Lately (mostly because it’s easier to use the Intrawebz on my phone these days than my laptop, whut?), I’ve been trying to tap back into more social media outlets, like Tumblr and Intagram (and occasionally Twitter,but, dammit, Twitter), so I had this idea. I’ve also been wanting to do some A-to-Z challenges, but I know…

  • With The Slayer Saga: Soulless out and ready for the masses (finally!), it’s time for me to sit down and reassess my goals for the remainder of this Round of Words in 80 Days. The thing with something like publishing a book is that it takes all your energy and focus and, once it’s finished,…

  • With my head so far up Soulless‘s butt I can’t really see much else, I’ve been struggling to think of blog posts. I need to get some new fuel going, so I got to thinking about all those beautiful images I’ve been saving for prompts that I’ve found around the Internet and thought, “Ah-ha. Now…

  • First Sentences Meme.

    Over on good ol’ Facebook, the fantastic Elizabeth Anne Mitchell tagged me on a writing meme. And of course I can’t refuse a writing meme! It’s a new one I haven’t come across, where you simply post the first sentence of the first three chapters of your WIP. Naturally, I wanted to take the chance…

Starting now and running until…erm, 80 days from now, RoW80 touts itself as “the writing challenge that knows you have a life.” I’ve been in love with this community since I first discovered it years ago, and I’m thrilled…

  • Now, this is a topic that I’ve always wanted to discuss, but it’s something that can make me so passionate that I fear I might get belligerent. Let’s talk, if we may, about the Strong Female Character, something that I feel very strongly about, as an independent, strong female character myself. The other day, Charles…

  • 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…

  • I’m stealing some more questions from a post by Harliqueen, because they’re just so gosh darn good and it makes for an easy post topic for me. Granted, this is a romance weekly thing that a few blogs do, and Soulless is definitely not a romance, but I’m going to do these three questions, anyway,…

  • I’m sure there’s a few people out there who will roll their eyes or groan when I say this, but sometimes, it’s tough being so proficient. It’s been a good Round of Words in 80 Days for me, but I feel as though it’s about 10 days too much. I knocked out some pretty heavy…

  • Another Sunday RoW80 check-in has sneaked up on me yet again, but I’m fairly okay with it, because it’s a post that requires a celebration. Another one of my goals for this round has been knocked out cold! Serpent in a Cage Version 3.5 is officially transcribed! The document is saved in both my Google…
