I’ve been having trouble restarting writing. I basically haven’t written much since January, when I finished A Fox Of Storms And Starlight, and because of last year I wasn’t in a strong enough writing habit to take essentially two months ‘off’ without it seriously impacting my habits and my critical voice. Critical voice gets stronger […]

Randomly, and on random projects, but OMG you guys, I FINISHED A STORY LAST WEEK, YOU GUYS. It’s the one that I posted the intro to here as a Made-It Monday, and it chronicles Becca and Dane’s first date. Becca and Dane are the MCs of #SekritNovel, for which there are snippets around about the

It’s been a long time since I made words creatively, so to celebrate the fact that last weekend I added a few hundred words to a short story I’ve been picking away at for years, I thought I’d share the first half of that story here 🙂 Hope you enjoy it! Warm steam filled the

However, I’m

Took aaaaaall day, but I managed to pull 4000 words yesterday. After not writing for nearly 4 weeks, it was like pulling teeth for most of the day – but near bed time I FINALLY hit my stride (helps that that’s my peak writing time anyway, when I’m not too exhausted for it) and it

(Also: Why I Decided To Publish My Own Books.) This was supposed to be a lot more coherent that I suspect it’s going to be, because I have a throat cold* and this is the busy point in my two-week timetable and my sanity has pretty much fled, but anyway. I’m doing this blogging thing,
