The Writing

I figured it was time to do some writing updates, since that’s what all of this is really about.  Funny enough, the genesis for this piece lies lies in the live episode of ‘I should be writing’ from Mur Lafferty. They were talking about writing and publishing and whether or not to publish your stuff [...]

Excerpt from my novel

As you probably know by now, I’ve written a novel.  I’m working on the second draft right now.

The gist: young woman living her life like any other normal person, suddenly finds herself neck deep in a mess that involves magic and a whole list of other things she’s always been told aren’t real.

I decided I [...]

This weekend

The plan for the weekend is to lock myself away for as long as possible and try to really push on writing projects.

I know I haven’t talked about such things in a while, and there’s reasons for that.  What sucks is that reasons start sounding like excuses if you say them often enough.

Reason #1 I [...]

My Writing Projects

I decided an update was in order on my various writing projects.  Woot, right?  I know you were really curious what’s been going on so here it is.

#1 Sam Kane

Synopsis: Sam Kane is a detective with the Denver PD – it’s her first week as a Detective and she’s already screwed up. Her partner’s in [...]

100, 420 Words Later…

Well, I’ve completed my draft manuscript for ‘Sam Kane’, my novel set in my ‘new universe’.  I was almost light headed as I typed ‘The End’ and realized that I did it; I completed the story.

Now comes the fun part.

I call this a draft but honestly, I’ve already done a lot of editing for it.  [...]

Writing isn't hard, it's difficult

As I look back on my weekend that was intended to be a writing marathon push to complete my novel tentatively titled ‘Sam Kane: A Novel of the New Universe’, I wonder where I went wrong.

At the same time, I know where I went wrong.

When last I updated the blog as to where my novel [...]

I never blog about my writing

It occurred to me that I have this blog and I never really talk about my writing anymore.  There’s a strange and long explanation of why that is but I guess it can be summed up thusly: I used to publish my fiction here, then I took it away.  When I did that, for some [...]

Quick Bits

A few quick bits going around in my head today, April 15th, 2009.

First off: Why the BBC and SciFi should make a deal to air Doctor Who in a -timely- fashion in the states, no more of this year later bull crap.  In brief: BECAUSE I WANT IT!

Sheesh.

Fringe – love it.  Want more.  Give me [...]

On writing and my style

Had a writing weekend.  It was planned, but the snow helped confirm it (stayed in, made chili).  Basically, during the week I don’t always have time to work on my creative writing other than an hour or two each night before bed, so I try to get in as much as I can when the [...]
