So after taking time off to be sick, move and generally lose my sanity, today I’ve been working on getting myself back into the swing of things. I’m breaking down and counting all words written this month on all projects, not just Sex on Wheels. I’m still super behind Read More

Day 6 #NaNoWriMo Snippet
Today was yet more unpacking, the movers came and we cleaned up the old apartment. Despite being a super long day, I also managed to write a good deal. So here’s a little girl talk from tonight’s writings. “So I met someone last night,” Kendra blurted. There wasn’t an Read More
Day 5 #NaNoWriMo Snippet
Ug. After packing up even more of my apartment yesterday, I didn’t much feel like writing. I’m surprised I wrote almost 3,000 words today after we finished moving everything except the big furniture from my old place to my new place. Anyways, here’s a fun bit of what I Read More
Day 3 #NaNoWriMo Snippet
Writing today almost didn’t happen. My ereader bit the dust and packing took up most of my after work time, but I still cranked out 2,000 words. I can’t wait until I’ve moved and I can do real writing again! Anyways, here’s the end of my meet cute. “Know Read More
Day 2 #NaNoWriMo Snippet

Fun at FenCon
I’ve been talking about going to FenCon for a while. This was a bit more involved than just showing up to the conference and going to a few panels. I had signed up for the Writer’s Workshop which would be moderated by Hugo award winning editor Lou Anders. I don’t Read More
Thursday Thirteen: Pen Monkey Stuff
I don’t talk about writing often because I’m no guru or know-it-all when it comes to being a pen monkey. So I thought it would be fun to list thirteen things that help me write, ways that I find time to write or whatever. Just so long as it’s writing Read More
