I’ve been trying to get back on a schedule and get back on top of things this week. I’m learning that there’s always something new to learn about writing, promoting, and all that comes with it. And while I’m enjoying the hell out of myself, there’s also a definite part of me that’s scared to … More A Metaphor with Impact
Like many young men at the end of the 1800s Bill has signed on to work in a logging camp to earn a fast paycheck to start his life. Unfortunately his role model is Big John, the camp’s golden boy known for blowing his pay as fast as he makes it. On a cold Saturday … More Coming This Month…
I’m working on a lot of different things lately and trying to settle down to take each thing at a time. It’s back to being gang-mugged by ideas every time I turn around and I find my order of importance keeps shifting every time someone sends me new submission guidelines that I absolutely want to … More Gettin’ my ideas in order
I’m really not complaining. I’m very, very blessed to have an active imagination that’s also incredibly fruitful. But do all my ideas have to attack me at once? Can I not take a drive, a shower, a nap without one more popping up? If I have to use one more tube of lipstick to write … More When Ideas Attack!
So just when I think there can’t possibly be more, I got a notification this week that a poem of mine will be in the back-to-school issue (probably Aug/Sept) of the e-zine Stories for Children Magazine! I’m so excited for a variety of reasons. Obviously, another acceptance makes me happy, but it’s more than that. … More Substantial Children’s Lit or Why I Refuse to Stop Reading Kids Books
So I opened up my email, expecting the usual amount of ads, necessary requests for stuff, the usual…and I found that I’ve had another story accepted to be released as an e-book next year! I am doing a dance, let me tell you! It will be called ‘The Other Man’ and it’s a quirky, unusual … More An Unexpected Alliance
So the other day I took my life in my hands and went clothes shopping. I must have defective woman genes because this is something I hate like none other. I like looking cute, I like new things, but from a sewing pov it drives me crazy because quality has really gone down in the past … More More than Beauty
Got so much stuff I want to cover. Hopefully I’ll get back in a rhythm, because I really want to talk about the HorrorHound Cinci con and some other stuff soon. But first, with Breaking Dawn pt. 1 out and my most recent trip to the library (yep, I go that much when I have time), … More Yay for YA! (writing, that is…)
So much going on, so much I want to talk about, but I’ve got rehearsal this evening so one thing at a time is probably best. I’m actually nervous for tonight – not so much about getting in and working with the script; I’m always raring to get started on a show in that respect. … More Genre work vs. ‘real’ writing
I am so excited I can’t stand it. Besides starting rehearsals for a holiday show I’m doing this week, besides having a great time at HorrorHound this past weekend, besides finally getting a chance to clean out my closet, I am being published, baby! A horror story of mine is going to be released as … More And suddenly I’m a writer
