How do you put to words what you can't even comprehend? The answer is you don't. Sure, you can try your hardest to describe it, you can try your hardest to understand what you're thinking and feeling, but the truth is it never does it justice in the end. So...what do you do? The answer … Continue reading Confessions of a Writer
Thinking Out Loud Writing
Indecisiveness
What do you do when you have a topic(s) to talk about but you have no idea how to start? Do you just start rambling and hope it brings you along to tie everything together? Or do you hit the ground running and see how much it may or may not suck, and/or work out? That's … Continue reading Indecisiveness
Patterns, Sanity, and an Author’s Mind
So, guess who forgot that they needed a blog post until an hour before midnight again? *Raises hand* Yep, me. I'm such a ditz when it comes to remembering these things anymore. Or, rather, I remember I need a post for all of five minutes and then POOF! Suddenly the thought is gone and the … Continue reading Patterns, Sanity, and an Author’s Mind
Rough Starts, Outlining, and a Cackling Plot Bunny
I can't believe it's already the 10th of January. Time is already flying by, which is a scary thought for the rest of year, and for all my plans. The first week of January was pretty brutal on me. Mentally and emotionally at least. With my history, that combination is a rather large detriment to accomplishing goals and … Continue reading Rough Starts, Outlining, and a Cackling Plot Bunny
Planning A Year
It's officially 2017. I hope everyone's New Year so far is shaping up as they had hoped. I'm sure there's lots of new goals and resolutions and hope out there. Whatever you're aiming to better or do this year, good for you; and if you have no resolutions, well, then, good for you too. After … Continue reading Planning A Year
Rearing Plot Bunnies
It's been an interesting couple of days. Not just with work and life, but with writing as well. My mind has been quite brain dead lately thanks to the holiday madness and the fact I think I burned out slightly after NaNoWriMo. I haven't been writing because I've both been so busy and exhausted due to those … Continue reading Rearing Plot Bunnies
Captive To My Mind
Do you ever get so wrapped up, so lost in a plot or storyline that you just lose focus of everything else in life? Do you ever get so wrapped up in it that you feel as if you are floating in that fantasy land even while you walk through reality? As if you are … Continue reading Captive To My Mind
POV? More Like Points Of Vexation
Warning: A rant may occur ahead. Read at your own risk for rambling frustration and perhaps spurts of crazy laughable moments. So on Sunday I got my MS back for another set of edits that mainly involved POV changes and few other minor fixes that were more so agree or disagree to this word take … Continue reading POV? More Like Points Of Vexation
This Is It
The moment of truth. The big and scary "holy shit" moment. The "I can't believe I'm actually doing this" moment. If you've paid attention to the past week and a half of my posts, you'll have noticed I've been talking about a submission I've been working on for a Halloween anthology. The deadline for that … Continue reading This Is It
Scarping Versus Scraping
Alright, so I didn't finish writing my short story submission for the anthology by Saturday like I had wanted. I got close, but I was hitting blocks and I was a real cranky bitch for a couple days so not a lot of writing happened. I did write every day, but I didn't finish the … Continue reading Scarping Versus Scraping
