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…
Here’s a tiny glimpse of the current work in progress. And I do mean tiny. Also for those who will ask–yes, I’m working on the next book in the Firebird series. As always, I make no promises that the content will make it into the final draft. Things are still very much in flux. Excerpt…
Apparently, the book was coming along a little too well because the writing gods must have decided I needed a gut check and threw a pair of massive curve balls my way. Last Monday I was in my groove. I wrote my 3000 words. Good words too. Words I was proud of. The story felt…
Happy New Year!! I hope everyone came through the holiday season in one piece and relatively healthy. Maybe it’s because the twins are making me more conscious of it, but I don’t think I remember a past year where there have been so many illnesses. From Thanksgiving until now, it seems like the majority of…
Somehow I’ve managed to format a print edition of Destruction’s Ascent in between the twin’s naps. Don’t know how I did it, but I did. Slowly but surely, the Dragon Ridden Chronicles are making its way into the realm of physical copies. When the past rises, the world burns. Newly conscripted into the Emperor’s dragon…
At this point, I am existing on cat naps and the occasional legitimate length nap. I’m pretty sure beta edits are supposed to come back at some point this week. Maybe today. Or tomorrow. It’s kind of all foggy at this point. I’m not even sure what day of the week it is. I knew…
I’ve been kind of quiet over the last three weeks or so. One because I wanted to finish the second draft of Aileen 7. It’s done, by the way. It came in at a whopping 144,000 words. People, it’s Firebird long. And there’s one or two things I need to add that didn’t make it…
