It’s go time!

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 [...]

Teaser Tuesday: what’s in a name?

Today’s teaser is brought to you by Dr. Wicked and his amazing Write-or-Die. Okay, really Dr. Wicked has no sponsorship claim over this post. BUT.

Bad news/good news….good news/bad news

Before we play the “bad news/good news” game, can I just say: I don’t care if it makes me a total creeper-I want to live in Neil Gaiman’s home library! Now, there is good news and there is bad news. Which do you want first? The bad? I thought so. Bad news: I broke. I [...]
