Two of my major goals are to get Wraithkin and Wraithguard out. Not published, but merely out of my hands and into the hands of the Alpha Reader Squad. In order to accomplish this, I forced myself the other day to create a massive spreadsheet for word count. I think my word count goal (not including the blog or … Continue reading To Start Off With A Bang

Doing Time in the Slush
I think that every prospective author should do time as a slush reader -- a volunteer slush reader, in fact. This sounds like a fate worse than death for most of us. If you are an aspiring writer who thinks that this could be fun, then you are one of the ones who must do this. Because … Continue reading Doing Time in the Slush
-5
I'm still recovering from this crazy weekend (why are my weekends insane and weekdays dull and boring?), but a brief rundown has it at this: Days: 2 Hours worked: 42 Words written between real job and acting job: 3,000 Years off life: -5 I'm really looking forward to a day off soon.
Random Ramblings
I was all set to review David Weber's A Beautiful Friendship over at SBR today until my brain went ffff-phat! (seriously, make that sound. That's what my brain did). The grey matter hit the proverbial brick wall and the results... aren't pretty. On the plus side, I am doing a tiny bit of editing. You see, you don't necessarily need … Continue reading Random Ramblings
Book Pretty!
Work (the non-writing variety) has been utterly brutal these past three weeks. I'm looking forward to a few days off, and then in a few more weeks off to Mysticon! Woohoo! Note to self: no absinthe. Not ever again. EVER. You know it's bad when I'm begging for some vodka to chase the original drink … Continue reading Book Pretty!
Heavenly and Hellishly
Huzzah! Happy New Year! ...oh wait, that was yesterday. This year is going to be the Year of the Dragon (woot... well, starting Jan 27) and though I am wasn't born in a dragon year (I'm a horse), I've always had a strong affinity and friendship with the dragon. I even have a few dragon … Continue reading Heavenly and Hellishly
Dark Abyss
There's persistence in this business. It's how the majority of us writers get published. I was thinking about persistence today at work and how it feels oftentimes that I am busting my butt for nothing. I realized that this was the same exact feeling I got back in 2009 when I hadn't sold a book … Continue reading Dark Abyss
Write What You Know? I SCOFF At Thee!
I wonder if my dad got his birthday card yet? I'm horrible at remembering date. I have this massive calendar up on the wall which shows every single appointment and schedule I have for the next few months, and yet I didn't mail off my dad's birthday card until the day of (partially because I'm … Continue reading Write What You Know? I SCOFF At Thee!
