More Schoolwork Than Sense

I’ve come out the other side of my second round of mid-term assignments, and the end of my third NaNoWriMo is five days away. Of the two, the first has significantly more profound long-term implications, but I’ve been struggling throughout my holiday week not to fall prey to the droopies because I don’t see much…

FridayFlash: Darkness

A few weeks back, before her Cabin Goddess site got gobbled by some nasty virus, Kriss set me the task of a Flash Fiction piece of no more than 500 words using the prompt “darkness”. She even shared it on her blog; given the crazy that the malware introduced in her life, though, I figured…

Author Interview: A.M. Harte

While I’m busy with NaNoWriMo, I’m happy to host A.M. Harte on her virtual blog tour, promoting Above Ground. Enjoy: 1. You mention Above Ground is the first in a new dark fantasy series. How many books do you expect the series to run? In my mind, the main series has always been a trilogy….

Playing Catch-Up

I’m glad class work this week wasn’t as time-consuming as normal, because between stubbornly stuffy sinuses and betrayal by mattress, my brain has been working at half-power, distracted by poor sleep and pressure enough I thought Tuesday my head my actually implode. I’ve allowed myself the small reprieve of adding a minimum of 100 words…

Welcome to the Grind

This week has felt mostly like too much work and too little time, built on way too little sleep. So now I’m fighting a cold again. My body rebels when I push too hard, so I’m glad I’ve had a chance to rest a little this weekend. And I’m done with all the remaining book…

Caveat Emptor: Worthless Sealy Warranty – Mattress Review

I’m not a great complainer. I tend to view the world through rose-colored glasses. So when I run up against head-scratchingly bad decisions, I generally opt to raise the conversation at the next higher point of decisionmaking. Typically, another perspective resolves the issue and either helps me understand what the problem is in my viewpoint,…

Schedules and Distractions

I hope there’s truth to this saying for me once again this month, as my schedule got blown up this weekend. As you will have noticed, I didn’t even post here yesterday, per my normal schedule/plan. My blog tour for Dementional kicked off this morning with a Guest Post on Gwen Perkins’ site. I’m writing…

Goodbye Blog, Hello NaNoWriMo

I’m trying for my third NaNo in a row this year, despite being in the middle of my second MBA class. I missed all my previous goals to finish book 2 of Red Slaves, so for some reason I have this thought that I’ll finish both that and book 3 in November. insanity So. For…

Now Back to Our Regular Programming

I got my final grade for my first class this week, and was happy to find myself starting off with an A. I was very pleased that my major research paper came back with the following comments: “The ideas you present in this paper are scholarly and astute. You make new and interesting connections between…

Surprise Release Day: Angel Mine

Happy Halloween week… It’s a surprise short story release day. 🙂 I’ve been working on this one all summer long. For all that it’s fewer than 5,000 words, it’s gone through more revisions than my novels–and more dramatic changes, too. I previewed it a few weeks back, but you may or may not see that…
