At this point, I kind of feel like my climax and ending are actively avoiding being written. I know almost all of what I want to happen. There is a scene list and everything where I break down all of what still needs to make it into a book. I just can’t seem to get…
To say last week did not go according to plan is a bit of an understatement. Originally I’d intended to be on the downhill slide with the book this week. Maybe even finishing it up. Instead, I spent my birthday in the PICU with my eldest. An intense twenty four hours later, she was on…
I probably shouldn’t post so many of these, but I can’t seem to resist. Kira and friends are just so much fun. Snippet “You’re right about that,” Kira said. “This isn’t a war ship.” Confusion flitted across [Redacted 1’s} face. “Which means we can do what we want,” Raider agreed. He and Kira burst into…
I have writer’s block this afternoon. So you get a tiny snippet. “Oh, good. You’re familiar. That saves time,” Raider crooned. The man searched the air over Kira’s shoulder, his expression growing increasingly spooked. Jin coughed and stepped forward. “Am I the one you’re looking for?” The lack of comprehension on the human’s face made…
Firebird 6 snippet for your Monday! Maksym made Raider jump as he popped up beside them. “What did I do?” “Don’t do that,” Raider scolded. “So sensitive. Do we need to revisit our immersion training again?” “Don’t you dare. I still don’t know why Wren sent you.” Maksym’s smile wasn’t entirely comforting. More like threatening….

It’s so much easier to tell when you’re lying,” Kira drawled. Jin’s eyes flashed to hers. “No.” “Yup.”…
To my relief, people seemed to enjoy spending time in Gus’s head. I guess that means the short story is a go. Good thing because I’ve already written three chapters and have a vague idea of what direction her story will take. The change in perspective did exactly as I’d hoped and gave me a…
The corners of Gus’s eyes watered from the yawn she stifled as the argument below escalated, pulling her attention away from her discomfort and exhaustion to the trio standing on the amphitheater sands.
Happy Friday, everyone! While perusing the deleted scene section of my Scrivener document, I came across the following. It was highlighted which either means I hoped to work it back in during rewrites or that I’d ear marked it to share with all of you. Either way, I’ve decided it makes a good Friday snippet….
I’m feeling somewhat charitable today. While rereading an earlier section of the book to remind myself of past events, I was struck by the thought that you might enjoy it as well. Also, I feel bad because it’s been so long since the last book 🙂 Excerpt Himoto always said that the hardest thing in…
