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…
Panic
I started shaking the other day. It took me the entire day to calm down. I even started crying once–tears of overwhelmed terror. Don’t worry. I’m over it now. Thanmir War has been with me for half my lifetime. It has been *the* story I’ve toiled endlessly over, dreamt about, stewed on, and built upon…
Finding Funny
Knock, knock Who’s there? Interrupting cow. Interrupting c– Moo! *Snicker* Ever have one of those times where you try to be funny and those around you just either stare with an awkward silence or give a pity smile? Oh good, I’m not alone. Sometimes, I crack myself up. That’s more than I can say about…
The Social Hermit
I’m introverted and not shy about that fact. I observe, I listen, and I assess. Take my offline life for example. When it comes to fun events, I’ll never be at the top of people’s invite list. Why? Because I’m a social hermit. Forgettable. I get glossed over while in plain sight. Makes for some…
The Hero Takes a Back Seat
I’ve noticed something odd with my current work-in-progress. Isto, book 2 of the Ninier series, is sitting at 123K at the moment. Only 16K of that belongs to my hero. It’s the lowest word count of all my POV characters (so far). I’ve sat and pondered why this might be the case. Had I fallen…
