I haven't been doing much writing lately. I find it hard to write when it's so hot outside (I only have AC in my living room). My writing seems to have a circadian flow, producing a lot of new writing in the spring and fall, and recharging in the summer and winter. Sometimes recharging can … Continue reading recharging the creative batteries
Recently I decided to download Scrivener, a software program designed for writers. I'd been getting half-off codes for Scrivener for the past 10 years or so as part of Nanowrimo's winner prize package. I figured it could be helpful in writing the last book of the Wolf Point series, to bring together all the information … Continue reading a love letter to scrivener
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.

For both Hitchhikers and Dreamwalkers, I was able to find images over at sxc.hu and Flickr, and the photographers got back to me fairly quickly. Both of the images I used for this cover were … Continue reading Scavengers cover reveal!
I'm nearing the end of Camp Nanowrimo and last night I ended up writing the most in one day that I have all month (a whopping 1,300 words), and once again my main character ended up giving himself stitches (this also happens in Hitchhikers). For some reason I feel the need to break my characters … Continue reading I am not very nice to my characters
