  • LibertyCon 27 AAR

    First of all, I’m back, and I’m sorry for my lack of planning! I thought I would have a few minutes to put up a post Saturday and yesterday, and it didn’t happen. Next year, I will plan ahead for this. We arrived in Tennessee on Thursday, early, treating that first day as a vacation…

  • Review: Witchfinder

    Review: Witchfinder

    So in one of my favorite movies, there’s this scene. It involves an older chef stepping in to fix a mess, and as he’s tossing things together, someone runs up and frantically asks “But what do we call it?” and he says, “A Belle Melange, a beautiful mess.” For some reason as I was reading…

  • Food Thoughts

    Food Thoughts

    I had the honor of becoming one of Sarah Hoyt’s Raiding Party, and you can find my post at her blog today. Eating the Apocalypse I grew up  in a family convinced that the tribulation was coming, with persecutions and… anyway, we usually had enough food in the pantry to eat for a long time.…

    Interesting articles

    I’m busily writing today. I was joking around that I was going to write until my hands fall off, and although that might be a slight exaggeration, I do plan to have sore fingers and wrists later. I’ve done 1500 words before breakfast, which gives me a great start. So rather than a lengthy blog…

  • Impatience

    I was thinking today about this, wanting what I want, when I want it. Right now, I want to have the book I’m reading read, so I could write you, my beloved readers, a review of it. It’s enjoyable, if off my beaten path of genre, but it’s not fair to review a partially read…

  • Review: Dual Fantasy

    Review: Dual Fantasy

    I managed to read this week! So exciting. Of course, it was because I was traveling, and then I was sick, so it was the silver lining in the cloud of waiting and misery. But I was really grateful for the paper books I’d managed to accumulate during the writer’s workshop, because I didn’t have…

    Links to Interesting Stuff

    I don’t have time, with homework and the office phone ringing, to do a formal post. So I’m putting links up to some good blogs from the last few days, for you to explore. First off, Sarah Hoyt asks the very good question, can you teach writing? Peter Grant looks at the sales of his…

  • Free Story, and a Review of a Story Collection

    Free Story, and a Review of a Story Collection

    First, this is the last day to get my story “Dwarf’s Dryad” for free. Download, share the link with your friends, and if you enjoy it, don’t forget to tip the author with a review! Also, I plan to put all my short stories on sale, in anticipation of the upcoming release of my new…

  • Human Wave Garage Sale!

    Human Wave Garage Sale!

    Guest post by Sabrina Chase, who was kind enough to organize this first collaborative effort for Human Wave authors.  The Human Wave Garage Sale When did it become fashionable for published fiction to be full of self-loathing for qualities most intelligent humans value? Where’s the adventure, the courage, the fun? We suppose it was about the…

  • Finding my Voice

    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…

  • Promoting and Reviewing

    Promoting and Reviewing

    This is going to be a short post. I really ought to be writing – well, ok, writing fiction, not blog posts. My day so far has been filled with writing, but for school, and work. I did a little reading, too, in breaks from the writing. One thing I read was Sarah Hoyt’s blog…

  • 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…
