This past weekend, I had the opportunity to lock myself in a hotel room for half a weekend with time all to myself. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “Why would you lock yourself in a hotel room instead of actively doing things out and about?” Well, first of all, it was a smallContinue reading “Privacy, Please”

The End Is A New Beginning
Yesterday, I wrote the last two words of The Forgotten Years saga. “The End.” No, mind you, I don’t actually include “The End” in any of my books. The end of the book is always pretty apparent when it happens, so there’s never any question. But this actually is the end–not merely the end of aContinue reading “The End Is A New Beginning”
News To Me
Wow. It’s been a week or two since I last blogged here but, as always, it’s basically because I haven’t had anything super awesome to say. Also, self-promotion and social media presence can be really draining to where I can’t word sometimes. So, anyway, the news is my newsletter. If you follow me on Twitter, youContinue reading “News To Me”
The Writer’s Mind
I had something I wanted to blog about this morning. Then I had to work unexpectedly. Then I went for a run. Now I am brain dead and watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens. So I’ll just leave everyone with my favorite limerick. There once was a woman from Hyde Who ate a greenContinue reading “The Writer’s Mind”
There’s a Storm on the Horizon
This won’t be a long post. There is no need to go on and on about it. I just want to say two things. 1. The Coming Storm’s cover art is DONE! 2. Once it clears the proofreader, I’ll release it into the wild! I’m pretty stoked. I probably won’t shut up about it in theContinue reading “There’s a Storm on the Horizon”
Tread Carefully
So, this weekend, I worked on a chapter for the third Forgotten Years book that I am going to have to treat very gingerly. I am not the best at writing for female characters, though I believe that I do a decent enough job for the depth of my books. Of course, a fantasy seriesContinue reading “Tread Carefully”
I Just Want To Write A Book…
“I just want to write a book, publish it, and hold it in my hands and know that I wrote it–I made it. I don’t care if anyone reads it. If they do, great! If not, it doesn’t matter, because I wrote a freaking book!” I said that a lot while writing The Call of Chaos.Continue reading “I Just Want To Write A Book…”
The Home Stretch
Publishing The Call of Chaos as an e-book was fabulous. I’m still reeling from the euphoria produced when I see my book on Amazon.com for sale. And, no, that feeling is not created because “I could sell tons of books and it would be awesome.” That feeling is caused because I get to entertain readers. And,Continue reading “The Home Stretch”
Fear
I’ll admit it. I live in fear. Always. Constantly, I fear that my writing ideas will run dry or that I will have so many ideas that I’ll never get them all out–that there will be fantastic stories I want to tell and, even if they’re terrible, that I’ll never release them all. I fearContinue reading “Fear”
That Light at the End of the Tunnel
I feel myself getting anxious. It’s a feeling that starts as a very low, soft hum deep down but, over time, it gains momentum and mass, slowly becoming more than just a niggling in the back of my head. It’s gone from “sweet, you’re getting done with TWO books” to “These should be done already.Continue reading “That Light at the End of the Tunnel”
