Good Reason
I have been struggling to maintain my daily wordcount, and I hadn’t gotten around to posting my progress for Sarah Hoyt’s 13 weeks to a Novel series, because I have been up to my eyeballs in studying. I have four (technically five, but I did the work for the fifth class last semester) classes this…

To ISBN or not to ISBN
My internal debate made external, cross-posted at Amazing Stories Oh, and apologies, I am missing both the period key and the question mark from this keyboard – hope to rectify it later today! I’ve been on the brink of buying a ten-pack of ISBN numbers a half-dozen times the last few weeks. The reason I…

Newsy Thing
The last 24 hours have been rather productive on the writing part of my life. Since I wear many hats, this is not always the case, although I am being good about maintaining my daily wordcount on Pixie Noir, my work-in-progress. I finally bit the bullet (now, there is an interesting metaphor, and I wonder…

Week 2 of the novel
I am writing along with Sarah Hoyt as she does the 13 Weeks program, check here for the details. This week she covers the topic of an idea for the novel. Since I am working on mine already, I just have to encapsulate the idea. Which is a trick in itself, as it’s hard to…

Get ’em while they’re cheap
I will be raising the prices on my short stories. So… If you want them while they are still a dollar, go download them! Also, reviews to feed the author (not literally, but I’ll be ever so grateful…) are always appreciated. Think of it as tipping the artist. I am an artist. You have no…

Researching Raven
I’m researching the Athabaskan stories and legends of the trickster god Raven for my work in progress. Set in Alaska, in a little town much like the one I grew up in, a grumpy, wrinkled old man lives… and he’s about to have a visit from a fairy princess and a pixie with an attitude.…

To Blog or not to Blog
A friend asked me recently about websites, setting them up, design, and “Where do I start?” I wrote a long email in response, and then realized it might be helpful to others, too. This is just a beginning, and I am not a coder. That means that I can fudge a little HTML if I…

Productivity

in angel, angel wings, childhood, family, fantasy, inspirational, motherhood, snow, snow angel, snowflake, wings, writingMy schedule doesn’t give me a lot of play time. Fortunately, some of the things I do and call ‘work’ I also regard as play. This allows me to go off and “play” while still feeling productive. Which isn’t to say that I don’t occasionally goof off and waste time, too. Yesterday was one of…
