  • IWSG November

    How has your creativity in life evolved since you began writing? Hmmm… This is a hard one to answer, because I get squirreled so often by ideas that I think look nifty and “I wanna try it right now!” I’ve always gotten squirreled like that. There are days when I wish I hadn’t pulled myself…

  • IWSG October

    How do major life events affect your writing? Has writing ever helped you through something? Y’all need to stop stalking me.

The Story that is quirky, odd, off-beat or maybe about an “edgy” or possibly “offensive”  subject. The Tale that nags you when you try to sleep and claims squatting rights in your…

  • The Point of Publishing…

    I’m not there yet. I’m a slow writer. I’ve learned through observation that the masses do not want to wait 2 years in between books that are all a part of the same series (well, not anymore – 30 years ago, there wasn’t much of a choice, but now…). If you make them wait, you…
