If you follow me on my Facebook page, you have already heard that I’ll be at Boise Book Fest this year. That was the first of a few announcements coming up. Next is the cover reveal for Shattered Illusions! A few people have gotten a chance to see me running around with mock-ups. Again, amazingContinue reading “Shattered Illusions cover reveal”

Distracted #IWSG
Usually I can focus down on a project and work on it for a while, but after getting through one round of revisions on book 3 during Camp NaNoWriMo I got distracted by other side projects. These side projects are helpful because for me it fills in the gaps that the reader won’t see andContinue reading “Distracted #IWSG”
Snowball effect #IWSG
Since I totally forgot about today’s post until now and it has some relevance for me, I’m stealing Loni’s idea. I posted previously about Crossfit. I try not to speak too much of it because I know the stigma it carries. And truthfully, from an outside observer before I started it looked like pure chaos.Continue reading “Snowball effect #IWSG”
Revisiting old work #IWSG
March IWSG Day Question: Have you ever pulled out a really old story and reworked it? Did it work out? Yes, and it was torture to some extent. I really liked the concept of the short story and wanted to rewrite it and see if I couldn’t do more with it. Since it’s a side project,Continue reading “Revisiting old work #IWSG”
Habits
In going through the editing process, part of it is making sure my characters maintain their particular habits such as Silver toying with his braid. It’s something he does and doesn’t necessarily realize he’s doing it. And then I start to laugh at one of my own: having my sunglasses on my head whenever I’mContinue reading “Habits”
Fun side projects
A friend of mine posted in our local NaNo Facebook page a while ago about a letter writing challenge from another group. Now, I think the original challenge was to write a letter to someone every day in February. She proposed to use it as a writing challenge and write letters between characters (just withContinue reading “Fun side projects”
Busy time #IWSG
Oh gosh, I feel a little guilty taking time away from all the things I need to do to write this post. But first, some fun news: Rediscovered Books in downtown Boise is now carrying copies of Twisted Magics. I’m so thrilled to be working with them. I’ll also be doing an event there onContinue reading “Busy time #IWSG”
Normal routine?
Between the holidays, illnesses, and more snow days than I can shake a stick at (because I’m not going out in that just to get a stick), getting back to a normal routine has been…challenging. It still hasn’t happened actually. Which makes trying to add in new things to the routine difficult and puts meContinue reading “Normal routine?”
And then there were three #IWSG
Hope no one minds that I’m passing on this month’s question and just doing my own thing. Book 3 is alpha ready. Has been for a few weeks now, but I’ve been editing it while Shattered Illusions is out to my beta readers, which is starting to come back now (so I need to get onContinue reading “And then there were three #IWSG”
I’ve been rather quiet
First, for those who follow me, I want to apologize for my long periods of silence. Things have been going on in my life that have kept me quiet. I won’t go into most of them, but especially for the past few weeks it seems to be one thing after another. Much of which makesContinue reading “I’ve been rather quiet”
