  • ROW80 Update: Too Soon?

    I always feel a little funny about the first RoW80 update of a round, usually because it comes up so quickly that you haven’t really done much or gained any traction on your goals. So I thought about skipping this one, as I only posted my goals on Monday, but I really didn’t have much…

  • RoW80: Round 3 Goals.

    It’s July 7th! Know what that means? A Round of Words in 80 Days Round 3! 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…

  • Allure of the Blank Page.

    Now, I know i said just yesterday that the waiting is the hardest part, but that was before I had a fresh new notebook in my hands. You see, many of you know that I write long-hand first, then transcribe it into the computer. And I’m very particular about the notebooks I use. No, not…

  • A Case for Mediocre Fiction.

    This is probably something I shouldn’t be saying ever, much less a month and a half before it’s released, but The Slayer Saga: Soulless is not a great book, not by a long shot. Nor will it be. It would take years of editing and revamping and revisions before it even gets close to greatness,…

  • RoW80 Update: Reflections and Conclusions.

    Round 2 of this year of A Round of Words in 80 Days has officially concluded, and there’s a little bit of time before the next one starts (July 7th! It’ll be here before we know it). A time to reflect and relax and rethink our goals and motivations. It’s also a time to look…

  • 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 walk the line.

    If you read my last RoW80 update, you’d have noticed I’m in a little bit of a funk, and, this morning, it hit me like a brick wall exactly why I’ve been feeling that way. I have to admit, it’s pretty uplifting to understand yourself so deeply that you can pinpoint the source of a…

  • RoW80 Update: Recharging.

    Though I know I sometimes get this weird funk going on during the weekends where I feel all my focus is completely gone and I can’t get anything accomplished, I truly feel like this last week of RoW80‘s Round 2 has been all about recharging. It’s been an odd week, full of things that have…

  • Three More Questions about “Soulless.”

    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,…

  • RoW80 Update: That Last Dwindling Week.

    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…
