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”
The Urge
So, how much/often do I write? The answer: As often as my brain lets me. I can’t write at home. Well, I mean, I can, but it’s more difficult. I have a myriad distractions no matter where I am at home. There is family, pets, TV, video games, chores, ninjas, and sometimes even pirates. These are theContinue reading “The Urge”
Party Setup
Lately, I’ve been working mostly on setting up all of the supporting materials in anticipation of when I release both books into the wild. This includes this website, Facebook, and I’m even getting familiar with Twitter (yeah yeah, stop laughing). There are so many avenues for communication that it is mind-boggling. I recall the days when,Continue reading “Party Setup”
What’s in a Name…
So, I’ll say it. I’m terrible at naming things. People, places, things, stuff, junk…all of it. Sometimes, I’ll rename something three or four times and maybe be happy with the outcome. I currently have a list of things to rename in both “The Call of Chaos” and “The Coming Storm”, which I will be doing very soon.Continue reading “What’s in a Name…”
