Goals from last week: 3 blog posts. Stories cycled to market as soon as markets are available. I have my next ePublication teed-up for its July 13th release (more information below.) I wrote 2,320 words, partly as I finished the latest revision of Swordsmaster (which now sits at 84,400 words), and the rest as I … Continue reading

Meandering Monday about My Survivor’s Guilt
Back in February, my employer decided (despite an improving economy) to continue with their plans to reduce payroll, and they let a large number of experienced, knowledgeable, and talented people go. We’d been hearing rumors for months that this was coming, and various scenarios about who would be laid off. I fit into a number … Continue reading
Writing Wednesday: Taking Notes for Next Round

My next release date is in two days, and “Cellfishness” is already staged as a preorder, and FREE on Smashwords with a coupon (see below.) I commented on others’ blogs, albeit sparingly (I still haven’t seen any attempts to comment … Continue reading
Writing Wednesday: Character Interviews Help Fill Gaps
Goals from last week: Still on schedule with three blog posts, and back-to-market rotations on returned stories. Only 518 words of fiction – the usual productivity shutdown that occurs with the holidays (coupled with the tedious nature of revising Swordsmaster) resulted in a very disappointing week of writing, despite putting time in on five separate … Continue reading
Flaky Friday: Are We All Insane?
Can a writer or anyone else identify when they’re crazy? I know I’m not the best judge for myself, although I try to err on the side of YES, I AM (it’s probably NOT much of an error.) The fact is, we go through phases of our life all the time when we’re crazy, we … Continue reading
