Working on a title
I am getting ready to publish this short story, and I don’t have a name for it. Well, I do, but I don’t like it. I’ve been calling it the Smith and the Gardener. Which is accurate enough, I suppose, but cumbersome, and vague. So far the suggestions from beta readers have been good. I’m…

Finding my Voice
I’m still a bit sleepy, so if this post rambles, forgive me… Sarah Hoyt’s series over at PJM on writing a novel in 13 weeks is up to 6 weeks, I missed week # 5, but here is the new post, and an excellent one. Finding your voice, or in my case, knowing which character…

Writing Plans
Cross-posted from Amazing Stories and my ongoing blogging there on the art and business of writing and self-publishing. I’m really tired, and need to study, I have an exam Monday on the Nervous System and the Brain. This week has been really busy, and I’ve been falling behind in my daily wordcount. Some days I…

Writing Action
Working on a scene where our heroes, soaring over the frozen Alaskan landscape, are set upon by either a Roc, or a Thunderbird. They are in a small plane, and I am trying to figure out how to make this work best for our heroes, and my plot. This is not something I am entirely…
