• 3am, writing

  I am writing at 3am, trying to get the final story in The Wind on the Blade finished. It was an incomplete story in its first incarnation. The solution that I have been crafting, with my editor’s input, is something that is much longer and more involved than what I had originally imagined. Therefore, I…

• A Little Further

  I got some good work in on the bonus story in The Wind on the Blade today and yesterday, mostly rewriting existing stuff, so it’s hard to give a word count. But I’ve gotten through the difficult bit finally. The rest is pretty good, although one section will need a POV shift. Then I get…

• No Words Lately

  I’ve spent a lot of time in bed these past few weeks, because of my surgery (which was for a hernia repair, FYI). I was frustrated that my recovery hit some unexpected bumps in the beginning, but I am feeling much better now. I’m still not supposed to carry the kid, but sometimes it’s been…

• My 2020 in Review

  Okay, at least it’s not February already! I’m doing this. Goodbye 2020! We can pretty much all shout that in life-affirming unison. And though we are not out of the woods yet, there is a light twinkling between the dark and looming trees. I started out 2020 anxiously excited about the quickly approaching birth of…

• Invisibility Potion

  

  Do you ever feel like someone slipped an invisibility potion into your morning cereal? I think it’s happened to me this week. Texts have gone ignored, emails unanswered, phone calls unreturned. Maybe it’s more like an unimportance potion, where anything coming from you just doesn’t feel relevant. An irrelevancy potion. Every artist’s deepest fear. The…
