  • My Writing Process (1)

    I’m starting this as I start working on Book 3 of my Fantasy Series (August 2015). I’ve tried writing it out before, but I keep forgetting all sorts of steps. I believe the fashionable term for my writing style is “organic,” but some call it disorganized. *** 1 – Get hit upside the head with…

  • Contemplating Comebacks for When I am Phenomenally Famous

    Or at least read by more than three friends. After I’m published. You know. Baby steps. But looking to the future never hurts. In theory. Some of the stuff I see when I cruise the web and peek at author websites, especially the newer authors, makes me realize that I’m not just an introvert. I…

I’ve tried, people my age (at the grand old ripeness of 39) and older have told me about the ease in which it works.…

  • Finding Meaning When There Isn’t Any

    This drives my husband crazy. I’ll watch a movie to death just to figure out all the cues and clues that would’ve led me to understand why the character acted thusly if I’d only paid attention the first time. “Dear, I think you’re reading too much into it,” my husband says. And he’s probably right,…
