1. I had so much fun with Glenna’s blogfest yesterday! I still need to go read and comment on everyone else’s entries, and I am sure they will be just as fun to read as mine was to write. It’s been a long time since I’ve participated in a blogfest, and I forgot how much [...]
(Chapter Six of The Raskolnikov Project is now up and ready to be read.) It is a discouraging thing to look at a manuscript and know that it would be better to completely rewrite it than to simply edit it. What a daunting task. You stare at all the work ahead of you and wonder, [...]

It’s amazing how hard it is to get back into the swing of things after a week and a half break. I know what I want and need to be doing with Incubus, but getting the actual work done is hard, hard, hard. This is something I have known for a long time: when I [...]
Yesterday on Twitter, the lovely Weronika Janczuk announced that she was challenging herself to write 10,000 words this weekend and inviting anyone to join her. I have about a billion-ty words to write to fix what I broke in Incubus. So, I am taking Weronika up on her challenge. Of course, I don’t write on [...]
It’s Wednesday again, which means it is time for another virtual road trip. This week, the ladies at YA Highway want to know: What is your favorite line from your WIP? I don’t know if this is my favorite line, but it is the one that jumped out at me, so I am going to [...]
Today is November 1, which means NaNoWriMo starts! How excited am I? Very much so (and possibly crazy too). I got off to a great start today – writing 2700 words on Incubus and 3500 on my NaNo book. It would be just great to keep up that pace, right?! How many of you are [...]
Progress on Incubus is still going along at a decent clip, though I will admit to cheating on my notebook a little bit this week. See, Scrivener for Windows went Beta on Monday, so of course I had to play with it. So I have spent the last few days putting my outline into Scrivener. [...]
For this week’s Road Trip Wednesday (wow, it’s been a while since I did one of these…), YA Highway wants to know: What are your favorite first lines? How do your own WIPs start? To be honest, I don’t usually take much stock in the first line of a book. I know how important everyone [...]
Update time: Man, has it been a BUSY week! It is amazing how not working a day job sometimes doesn’t actually free up any time for me to write. I fell a little behind on my writing this week, but I took care of all the other things I needed to, so it is smooth [...]
