Today’s post is going to be a bit different. Yesterday while I worked on edits so I can get Shattered Illusions out to my beta readers, part of my mind decided to wander. I shared the questions on Facebook and got a couple of responses. They were very similar, but off enough I could see theContinue reading “Muse Monday: Why?”

Time? #IWSG
This month’s IWSG question is: how do you find the time to write in your busy day? I stopped and went “what time?” as I’ve been mostly ignoring it for the past couple of weeks. And as much as my schedule increased in terms of how busy it got this year with the little one startingContinue reading “Time? #IWSG”
Muse Monday: Side Stories
The original version of Twisted Magics started roughly 2 years before the final version. I still have the files (it was horrible). A few people were unfortunate to have been exposed to it, but not all is lost. The rough ideas are still there. And I’ve started digging them back out to rewrite. I’ve beenContinue reading “Muse Monday: Side Stories”
Burnout? #IWSG
I did some pretty heavy revisions to Shattered Illusions (Terra Chronicles book #2) during Camp NaNoWriMo last month. Managed to pour a lot of energy into it and called the revisions good fairly early so I could have it printed to work on while out camping. And then never touched it. I still haven’t. AboutContinue reading “Burnout? #IWSG”
Muse Monday: Intimidate
How does one make a character that is not physically strong or large intimidating? I bring up large for the reason that even though I’m quiet, people find me intimidating due to my height. Really, I’m probably more afraid of you. But getting back on topic. I have a number of characters who can comeContinue reading “Muse Monday: Intimidate”
Game Night Tales: Sometimes things are prophetic
WARNING: Major spoilers ahead for Twisted Magics. So please, if you don’t want me to ruin a particular event, stop reading now. Why did I put up a spoiler warning? Couldn’t I have told this gaming tale without it? Nope, because I had written the scene long before an all too similar event happened inContinue reading “Game Night Tales: Sometimes things are prophetic”
Muse Monday: Shattering
Today’s post might go in a few different directions, but I’m announcing book 2’s title. Just no date – way too much work ahead of me, but the title I’ve had on it a while has stuck. I had this song on in my vehicle and ended up hitting repeat (much to my husband’s dismayContinue reading “Muse Monday: Shattering”
Muse Monday: In rememberance
Some people like to put in things for people who have been in their lives. I’m sure someday I will, but my latest little cameo was to a player character in our gaming group that one of my characters killed. He took a swing at her first. It was the last thing he did. Anyway,Continue reading “Muse Monday: In rememberance”
Muse Monday: Creating from the real world
Last October, my husband and I took a road trip up through Oregon, Washington, and then came back down through Idaho. Along the way, we stopped in two different cities that helped form the base of the open market area in book 2. The Olympia Farmers Market is probably not as well known as the PikeContinue reading “Muse Monday: Creating from the real world”
Pick up the pace #IWSG
I ran into some serious issues early on with book 2. Got them sorted out a few months ago and now it’s down to editing (and maybe add an epilogue). I’m just not sure how fast I can turn around this book given how long Twisted Magics took to come to completion. Yeah, I know,Continue reading “Pick up the pace #IWSG”
