#NaNoWriMo- the end!
Well, it’s the end of what’s been a wild month for many writers who threw themselves into the thirty-day insanity known as NaNoWriMo. And if you finished it… congrats! And if you didn’t… Congrats! I know, I know – maybe you didn’t finish in time. Maybe Thanksgiving and Black Friday totally derailed your attempts, turkey […]
NaNoWriMo and You! #Nanowrimo
October 29, 2012
As we rush towards November again I thought I’d share a few thoughts about National Novel Writing Month and how I’ve done it – and survived! Both “Blaze of Glory” and “Blood of the Pride” started off as NaNo projects and later on became successful series with two different publishers – so it can be […]
Everyone’s a winner, but…
November 28, 2011
As we head into the final days and hours of NaNoWriMo I’d like to toss a few thoughts out to you weary, exhausted authors on how and when to send your manuscript out to publishers or agents. Not. Now. I know what you’re thinking, I’ve been there. My first novel with Samhain, “Blaze of Glory” […]
NaNoWriMo – it’s okay to fail!
November 10, 2011
I’ve already seen a few notes from NaNo authors bemoaning the lack of progress on their novels – and how depressed they are about the entire process. It’s okay. It’s okay to fail. In the first place, November is an AWFUL month for the idea of writing a novel in thirty days – right smack […]
Why you shouldn’t listen to me…
November 3, 2011
Every once in a while I get asked for writing advice, either in RL or in Second Life where I run around as a tiny clockwork dragon and hang out in steampunk sims. And I have the same answer for both lives – don’t ask me for writing advice! Why? Because I’m not one to […]
And… we’re out!
November 13, 2009
Well, I gave the Nano the best effort this year, but I came up against one of the blights of a writing life. Eye strain. The last few days I’ve had sharp pains and whatnot, traced back to the fact that I’ve been focusing WAY too much on the laptop screen. It gets better as […]
Dem Bones…
November 12, 2009
Managed to finish the first draft of "Spring Cleaning" – it’s just the bare bones, thus my need to go back NOW and start putting flesh on. I’m one of those writers who underwrites the descriptions and such, getting the events and dialogue down first. It’ll need a lot more words to start looking presentable, […]

just cracked the 10K on the Nano! of course, now I’m into the Good Romantic Stuff… later on I can go back and Fix The Details That Are Driving Me Nuts. but right now it’s the Good Stuff.
Multi-tasking…
November 5, 2009
… is an evil thing. I’m working on my Nano, "Spring Cleaning" (over 8000, yes!). I just sent in suggestions for the cover art of "Blaze of Glory". I’m waiting for the final galleys for "What God and Cats Know". and… I’m getting that little nudging in the back of my mind to write Castle […]
