Nutty Chitter from a Caffeinated Critter
I’ve been thinking a lot about character motivation lately. My turn is coming up soon for my local critique group, so I’ve been looking at the early chapters of Isto, Thanmir War‘s sequel. My buddy, Jim, pointed me to the John D. Brown archives on the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America website. Part…
Today, I’m not insecure. One might think I have some great tidbit of wisdom on how to achieve such a state. I don’t. But I can tell you how I got there, at least for today. I know some of my primary weaknesses in writing, one of which is building/conveying emotions. Lately, I’ve been working…
This happened: facebook May 18 at 12:39pm *virtual high five to everyone* I may have just figured out book 2. I owe all of you a big THANK YOU. All of your comments helped stir the mental juices, and I ended up with my solution. Last week, I was pretty much at my frustration breaking…
Last week, I mentioned it was taking me too long to figure out Isto. A lot of you guys had great suggestions of reading through my existing work to rekindle my passion. While I do enjoy my story and would love to write in it, I’m stuck on a single issue. I don’t know how…
Life at the Town’s End is whirlwind. My family and I are still sick (going on 3 months of rotating symptoms now), but since time doesn’t have a pause button, we’re carrying on as usual. I want to say next week’s book signing is first and foremost on my writing mind, but unfortunately, it’s not….
Today is the first Wednesday of the month. That means, it’s time for Insecure Writer’s Support Group! You can find the sign up for the IWSG here. We owe Alex J Cavanaugh a huge thank you for thinking this blog hop up. I won NaNoWriMo last Friday. Though I was pleased with that fact, something…
Thank you all for the condolences for my cousin. Chris’s funeral was last Saturday, but I unfortunately couldn’t attend. Snow dumped its baggage on my doorstep just a couple of days before my anticipated 280 mile drive. Rather than risk the roads, I sent my love from afar via phone call. Beyond my phone call…

It’s time for an update post! Woohoo! On Monday, C. Lee McKenzie wrote blog post about log lines. I’d already planned this post with the log lines I have, but now I think I need to revise. What do you think? Monsters By saving his wife, he condemned his world. Isto, Thanmir War‘s sequel, has…
I mentioned in my last post that Chrys Fey, author of Hurricane Crimes, tagged me in the Paying it Forward blog hop. Thank you, Chrys! This blog hop consists of four questions: What am I working on? How does my work differ from others of its genre? Why do I write what I write? How…
