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.

Influences Part 4

Comic Books

If you’ve been hanging out here on the blog or on my twitter feed, you know by now that I am a huge comic book geek.  I once had a monthly habit that was the equivalent of a car payment.  Not a nice car.  Not even a good car.  Probably more like an ‘ok’ [...]

I’m thinking about my writing today and writing in general.  Thought I’d share.

I like to think that every writer, no matter their genre, struggles from time to time with how much detail to put into their works, and how much to leave out.

For myself, I have written long, expansive, detailed chapters full of descriptive passages [...]

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 [...]
