With recent happenings, blow-ups and internet debacles I’ve been thinking about this subject for awhile.
And I may have mentioned recently how I friend says that I bite my tongue online especially when I’m in writing/author mode. So the question is how do you balance things? What’s the give and take between speaking your mind, voicing [...]
When trying to write a story centered around two characters (regardless of their sexual orientation) who will most definitely having sex (and probably often). It is important that there is chemistry between them. Because if there is no chemistry, it’s like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
And I’ve read stories where [...]

Well MayNoWriMo was not as successful as I hoped. I did get some pages in. But I had to stop and do a lot of plotting, outlining and worldbuilding.

I think that’s one of the hazards from starting MayNoWriMo so late. DTAL [...]
I have a full time day job. I would love to write full time but until I can make enough money off my writing, if not more, to supplement the income from the day job I’m stuck working and writing.
I’ve had authors tell me they envy me or admire me or wonder how I do [...]
I have two distinctive sets of friends - Writer and Non-Writers.
The writer friends are either published (NY, Print or Epubbed), seeking publication, editors or reviewers. Now my non-writer friends most don’t know I write and if they do they don’t know my pen name or what I write. So they don’t necessarily understand when I [...]
Jennifer Crusie has been quoted as saying:
Don’t look down.
Which essentially means to just write the story and don’t over edit yourself when you’re writing the first draft. It can be taken as a variation of BICHOK – Butt In Chair, Hands on Keyboard (for the non-writers reading this).
Nora Roberts has been quoted as saying:
You can’t edit a [...]
Thirteen Things My Non-Writer Friends no longer find strange…
1. Staring at a blank computer screen for long stretches and muttering to myself
2. Muttering strange words and phrases about things normal people shouldn’t think about. Hmm… I wonder how long this poison would take to act. Or such things as… how many ways are there to [...]
I’ve been thinking a lot about genre’s and why I started writing, want to write, what’s my motivation and other such topics.
Lately I’ve been struggling with my writing. Don’t get me wrong. I love to write. I’ve tried giving up (okay so it’s really quitting) but I just can’t. It’s apart of me, in my [...]
