Friday Fess-Up: July 6th

Happy Friday Y’All! We made it! Welcome to the First Friday Fess-Up for the month of July. I hope you had (or are still having) a great Holiday. I confess that having a holiday drop in the middle of the week really messes with my head. In this case, Tuesday felt like Friday. Wednesday felt …

Staying Organized

Happy Sunday Everyone! Now there may be those of you out there that are questioning the wisdom of posting about staying organized on a day where this post is going live a solid five hours later than (and this is an average) usual. This is actually the perfect time to post something like this, because …

Writing and Authoring

Editing Progress

Happy Sunday Y’All! If you recall, last week I kicked off a series of posts where I’m talking about Progress. I said that, despite thoughts to the contrary, Progress was not, in fact, a linear progression from point A to point Z. Oh you still get from point A to point Z, but the path …

Trust Yourself

Happy Sunday Everyone! First, I’d like to thanks the folks that came by to hear my reading yesterday at Penguicon. If you weren’t able to make it, you can stop by the Freebies page for an excerpt from the story that I read: “Haven” from the Weird Wild West anthology. This week I wanted to …

Multi-Classing

Ok, let me just put it right out there up front: I am totally feeling deficient as a writer. I’ve been working on a book since the turn of the year. Truth be told, a little bit before then, but I turned around and did a massive rewrite – yes, I know that’s not what …

Out of (Your) Control

Before I get into today’s post, I want to let you know that my Ravencon schedule is up on the Events page. If you’re going to be out and about in the Williamsburg, VA area next weekend, stop by and say Hi! If you’re a writer, then you know about struggle. If you’re taking a …
