Anthropomorphic
Today as I was running an errand, pondering Lit. class, and our ongoing discussion of houses in stories we were reading, which tied into the obituary of a house I wrote earlier this week, I was startled by something my GPS did into thinking about anthropomorphism. Like that sentence, my brain often rambles off on…

IndyFur Con AAR
I went to IFC as a dealer, performing face and body art, and selling my book. So this was a different event for me. Only my fourth convention ever, it was my first time working at a con, and my first Furry con. I had a blast. I didn’t make any money, but that is…

Friday: Change of Plans
I had planned to post a review here. Only… the book I read for this week was so disappointing I just can’t bring myself to do it. I picked it for Amazing Stories Magazine, to review there, which I will do as I’m obligated to do so. But here, you guys don’t want to hear…

Sheer Twaddle
When I first started writing stories for my children, my ex-husband looked at them and said “you’re using too many big words, you know.” Well, since I was told in highschool by my English teacher to stop using so many big words, this stung, and I started looking into how to write for children. After…

Writing Gender
My weekly post at Amazing Stories is up. And, to go along with that exercise in writing manly men, I have to go along with the posts at Mad Genius Club this week, ‘Light and Set, and Inspiration from the Past, both pondering Louis L’Amour, arguably the greatest Western author, and a master at writing…

Remembering Books
We were talking about books we enjoyed, and books we hated, that we’ve read in years past, and I was reminded on one I’d fogotten, but had loved as a young girl. Sweet, silly, but very much in line with what I was as a girl: a tomboy, a loner, and as self-sufficient as I…

Why I do what I do
I have been asked several times in the last week alone about indie publishing. Before I talk about what I’m doing, and why, let me point out that I am relatively new to this. Vulcan’s Kittens is the first novel I have published, and that came out in 2013. I have been writing and studying…

What a Day
It has been a day of achievements. My blog post is up at ASM, the Genderless Mind? which I am very pleased with, I did a good bit of research to write that one. Using gender to fully develop characters requires first knowing something about male/female brains and how they differ. I wrote almost 6000…

The Marinated Writer
I know what you are thinking, and no, that’s not what I was marinating in. We did have a beer with dinner last night, and that’s as much as I’ve drunk in a week, so I’m not *that* kind of writer. What I am is one gathering flavor for my writing by reading. In this…
