Forgive me if I do this wrong. I’m new. I’ve been stalking Melissa Maygrove for a while now, and I’ve seen her do this thing every month. And then I think to myself, ‘with as many times as I’ve freaked out over writing, I should really do that.’ So here I am. My biggest fear…

Coffee Shop Writer
So, I hadn’t realized that writing in Starbucks was a thing until my buddy ohnosarge brought it up in a tweet one day. She directed me to Family Guy who mocks those coffee shop writers as needing to be seen working on their craft. Imagine my eyebrows climbing to my hairline. That led to a…
New Date…Again
Yes, I know, I look like an idiot. I said November 5th, then the 19th. Well, the release date has been pushed to December 5th because I botched something in the details. But it’s really going to happen this time. The book is on Goodreads, so that must count for something. This image on the…
Husbandly Help
“Do you think a severe electrical burn would be gooey beneath the crispy flesh?” That was how I started our conversation. Of course my husband gives me a perplexed look. And then he starts to chuckle. I was writing a scene where the character gets hit with an electrical bolt which mangles up the left…

Waiting
I had planned on releasing Thanmir War on November 5th. Well… The changes I alluded to in my post Panic have taken a little bit more time to implement than I had planned. And since I don’t want to release shoddy work, I’m pushing out the release date by two weeks. November 19th is the…
Music and Pictures Update
Since the new addition to the family, time has been in short supply. And unfortunately, the opportunities to work on my computer are few and far between, which makes blogging a bit difficutl. But I’ve become quite adept at playing with my phone! I’ve previously mentioned my love for Instagram and Snapseed. I’ve decided to…

Rise and Shine
Have you ever strived to achieve? Maybe you want to run a marathon? Design a video game? Write a book? One thing is for certain: it takes time, hard work, and dedication to do something, and to do it well. Perhaps you don’t perform at your peak during the early morning hours. But if you…
Dreams and Goals
I mentioned a while back I was reading Rise of the Machines by Kristen Lamb. One of the chapters tells us to write down our goals: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years, Lifetime. Now when it comes to books telling me to write down something, I typically don’t do it. I…
