The next chapter: January 2014 update

Sundog snippets: Something I learned about myself as a creative person this week

The next chapter: March 2014 update

The next chapter: April 2014 update

If March was a little weird, April was a whole lot weird. Lemme ‘splain. I abandoned the thought of keeping to any kind of “schedule” with regard to my writing. At the end of last month, I had drafts...

The next chapter: May 2014 update

This is going to be a short update. All of the new words I produced this month were from blogging (7503), even though I didn’t blog for a whole week because of chaos. It was good chaos, but...

The Writing Process Blog Hop

Yes, it’s actually happening! I had a bit of a false start back in April when Gemma Hawdon originally tagged me, and now that Claudette Young, A.K.A. Claudsy has tagged me for a second time, I actually...

The next chapter: July 2014 update

July was much the same as June for me. I worked primarily on Gerod and the Lions, am still slowly mapping out Figments, and though I did some work on a short story (it’s almost 10K, so not really...

The Next Chapter: August 2014 update

This has been a weird month, writing-wise. I started out well enough, continued working on Gerod and the Lions, and started revising one of my longer short stories for submission. Then I went to When...

The Next Chapter: September 2014 update

The Next Chapter: October 2014 update

The month’s been a bit of a wonky one. I started out working on Gerod and the Lions, but with NaNoWriMo coming up, I started to work on my outline for my project more and more. That work was all done...

The next chapter: November 2014 update

So. Just to get it out there, I didn’t meet my NaNo goal this year. Honestly, I thought it was going to be a tall order writing 50k words while working full time. If you remember my pre-NaNo post, I...

Something awesome and dreaming up new story ideas . . . literally

Earlier in the week, a friend of mine posted to Facebook that he’d received his copy of the Fall 2014 issue of On Spec—with my short story, “Downtime,” in it! Woohoo! See—that’s my actual name on the...

The Next Chapter: February 2015 update

As you may have been able to surmise from recent weekend posts, February was a rough month for me. March is gearing up to be another such, but, the good news? Apparently, work misery doesn’t affect my...

The next chapter: March 2015 update

Last month, I wrote about how I was reprioritizing my life because I’d made the realization that pouring all my creative energy into the day-job was not making me happy. It wasn’t getting me any closer...

The next chapter: April 2015 update

Where I’ve been I don’t know how to say this, but April kind of sucked. Due to the situation at work, I decided to give myself a true break for the Easter long weekend. So, no writing there. The next...
