Writing Wednesday: Making Up Stuff & Nonsense

Last week’s goals: Three blog posts made, and at least three comments posted on others’ blogs. So far, so good this year. I’ve been lackadaisical about sending my stories out to market – as of this writing, I have four that should be in circulation, but only one is out there (and the market in … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Breaking Rules and Laws

As a writer, I know that there are rules about how things are SUPPOSED to be done. Rules or grammar, of spelling, of punctuation. There are also rules/expectations that are peculiar to whatever genre you happen to be writing – things that, say, would be perfectly okay in a Romance, but unacceptable in a Western. … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Obeying the Rules

Last week’s goals: 3 blog posts done. Stories cycled to market as soon as markets were available (no sweat, with only 2 stories circulating.) Comments on others blogs minimal again, but enough to get by. Goddesses, Sleep with the Snowmen, and Other Fantasies finished it’s preorder campaign and made its November 30th release on time. … Continue reading →
