  • July 1: The Start of Something New

    New month, new novel, new start. I am once again challenging myself to stick to a regular posting schedule this month. Although my day job is making it difficult for me to spend time writing, I know dedicating time to blog is very important. There are so many things I am excited to share about…

  • End of NaNoWriMo

    End of NaNoWriMo

    I arrived home late once again. Staring at the time I felt nothing but frustration and disappointment. It was November 30 and in 3 hours, National Novel Writing Month would come to a close. There was no way that I would be able to hit 50,000 words. I knew it in my head but my…

  • NaNo 2017: Day 19

    NaNo 2017: Day 19

    Current word count: 14,416 Scheduled word count: 31,673 This year started so well! On “Halloween” I spent my time after work, writing down a few more notes. At 11pm, I sat in a Denny’s with other writers staring at the clock. After some eggs it was midnight and I got to work cranking out page…

  • Writerly Waste?

    Writerly Waste?

    Sometimes, I do not do well with prioritizing my writing. There are many days when I let my day job get in the way of my creative job. This past week is a perfect example. I had been working on three different short stories to be submitted to various anthologies. However, I am also in…

  • Writer Wednesday: The Return of the Queen

    It’s Camp NaNo once again. Another chance for me to complete a novel. There is a new story line that I have created: a world decries Death’s efficiency and his is forced by the powers that be to take a sabbatical with his golden watch. The name of the story has changed a few times…

  • Book Review: Lost Gods By Brom

    This was book 9 out of 100 for my 2017 Goodreads challenge. A reader/writer has so many favorite authors that creating lists could last forever. There are some authors one loves because of their ability to deliciously scare you. Other writers have the ability to send you to a world where you can just get…

  • On Sundays I Write

    On Sundays I Write

    The weekend is always so fleeting. I have always said that my favorite part of the weekend is Friday afternoon as I head to my car after work. At that magical time, the whole weekend is spread out before me. In contrast, by Sunday evening, the realization that the new work week is merely hours away…

  • Camp NaNoWriMo – Midpoint

    There is a novella that I should be working on right now. A high powered CEO has mysteriously dropped dead and an expensive commonly used program is being blamed. Instead of upping my word count, I am blogging while watching the LA Galaxy lose to Orlando FC (Half time and Orlando is in the lead…

  • Book Review: Carrie Fisher x 2

    I could write pages on my love/hate relationship with Star Wars. For the sake of this post, I will just say that I am extremely well versed in all things Star Wars (it was forced upon me for different reasons) but I was brought up as a “Trekkie” (my father recorded almost every episode of…

  • Teaser Tuesday:Double Trouble

    On my Facebook author page, I wrote a post about my last minute push to complete a story in time for submission (post can be found here). That short story was published as “Double Trouble” (I HATE that title) in the anthology Grey Matter Monster. Below is a teaser from my short story. This is not…
