It's been a few up and down days as of late. The weather has sucked, tempers have been flaring, and one thing after another just seems to be going south. My mood has been going up and down right along with the roller coaster, and not in a very positive way. Which also means I haven't … Continue reading A Concordance and a Mishap of Notes

What’s in a Name?
Here's something that just about all authors either hate or love. Okay, maybe it's more like a love-hate relationship with it. Like a see-saw, back and forth, up and down... I have the love-hate relationship with names. I hate trying to come up with the perfect names for characters, places, creatures, chapters, novels, series...

Renewing Excitement
Last night at 2am I spent an hour writing before I headed off to bed. I had only meant to spend maybe a half hour, but as I got into the scene, my fingers were just itching to finally finish it so I didn't stop until I had finished the scene, and coincidentally the chapter … Continue reading Renewing Excitement

As I was working on my novel yesterday, I began to realize just how long this book is going … Continue reading On the Downhill

New Month, New Start
Yeah, I know, it sounds so cliché, but that's essentially what it boils down to anymore. January actually went pretty decent for me, for once.
