Like most writers, I enjoy listening to music while I write. But you gotta have music that fits your writing mood! I often also prefer music without lyrics - pop music makes me want to sing and dance so it really doesn't help me when I write. This Nanowrimo I already have a few go-to artists … Continue reading writing music

a week of writing and revising
As April winds to an end, I find myself in the midst of two things: finishing up my story for Camp Nanowrimo, and preparing Scavengers for release later this week! Currently I'm at around 18,500 words in "The Madman," which will be a second Wolf Point prequel novella. I only need to write about 500 … Continue reading a week of writing and revising

Both of the images I used for this cover were … Continue reading Scavengers cover reveal!

For some reason I feel the need to break my characters … Continue reading I am not very nice to my characters

I didn't know what a mid-point reversal was until I read Story Engineering by Larry Brooks. At that point I looked at Hitchhikers and was pleased to find that I had instinctively included this … Continue reading the mid-point reversal
the countdown begins
So I'm already thinking about November and Nanowrimo... already stressing about when I'll have enough time to write! My first week in November is pretty much booked up and that makes me nervous because it's usually in the first week that I get the momentum to carry me through the rest of the month. I … Continue reading the countdown begins
