I have no idea when I wrote this, but my guess is probably around third or fourth grade. I’ll have to get my scanner working because some of these have illustrations that are just priceless. Anyway, proof that even at an early age I was trying to expand my horizons…into poetry! (watches as everyone flees … More The Lost Manuscripts – Poetry Edition! A Strange Day
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so let’s open up the vaults! Today’s piece of my tragic writing past is from November 20, 1990, so I would’ve been ten or so. I will warn you, this was when I was neck deep in my self-insertion fantasy phase (though some could argue … More The Lost Manuscripts: The Magic Leaf

I hit on a lot of things: rejection, reasons for getting into this sort of business, expectations, etc. I want to go back to something that I kind of hit on, but I’ve had reinforced for me, personally, during … More So you wanna be a starving artist part 2
Before I forget…to everyone who offered me birthday wishes here in comments, on facebook, or otherwise – thank you.

So apparently I was a week early with 12 Sentence Saturday…(eh, at the very least I’m dedicated. And an overachiever.) So this week I would also like to do twelve sentences from In the Red, but I suppose to be fair they should be a different 12. So let’s see… This bit happens at the … More 12 Sentence Saturday (for real): In the Red
First off, thanks for all the kind words, comments, and well-wishes! You guys are awesome!

As a writer and a generally … More The saga behind In the Red…or wait a minute, it’s awfully late in the year for May!
I’m back and ready for another Six Sentence Sunday! This week’s six are from my new release and first novel, In the Red! The Six I’m holding history that isn’t supposed to exist. When The One took the stage, any competition turned tail and ran. It was said that the one time the singer revealed … More Six Sentence Sunday: In the Red
At the risk of posting a lot of updates right in a row, I’d like to catch everyone up on some places I’ve been and some things I’ve been up to. Had a great time in a group podcast chat about the relationship between authors and reviewers and bloggers. A lot of great info got … More updates, edits, and new projects!
Sundays always seem to bring me back? Why? I guess I just can’t resist the draw of six 😉 This week’s six are again from my YA WIP urban fantasy piece. In this part Colleen begins to realize that what she was told about her past may or may not be true. And it’s all … More SSS: WIP: Green
