A Romantic Glimpse

I've spent the better part if the last week editing Queen of Hearts. It has been really interesting to read over little scenes and incidents that had completely forgotten about. And it has taught me two things; 1. I still love the story even after all these years (which I was beginning to doubt) and …

You cast your votes…

...but this is no democracy! Okay, so the votes are in and it came to a draw between the May 15 post and the post from May 8. However, I've had to come to an executive decision; I can't show you the continuation of May 8th because *spoilers* so May 15th it is. Beginning with the …

WIPpet Wednesday.

Once again, it’s WIPpet Wednesday. Feel free to play along. The rules are simple: Every Wednesday (or on whatever Wednesday(s) during the month you chose to do so) post something from a current WIP, and share the link.

Dearest Readership, I love you.

As every author/writer/person-who's-cobbled-together-a-few-sentences knows, your readership is important.

If you've been reading my blog, you know the drill. If you haven't, go here. Today's offering is 13 words from my WIP which also happen to sum up my current existence. Surrounded by a self-imposed cage of academia, Brythorn stared aimlessly out the window.

WIPpet Time.

It is time for Wednesday WIPpet, which is open to everyone to play along. There's a linky thing somewhere but I am not anywhere near talented enough with computers to attach it to my own blog. The rules are simple: post something from a current WIP, and share the link. Your excerpt must correlate with …

Knowing when it’s time to move on.

In just over a week, I'll be moving cities and while I may comeback to my home town to visit, I hope never to live here again. Which brings me to the topic of endings; the first draft of my WIP is so close to completion that its not even funny. Another few scenes, another ten …

Help!!!

So the time has come once again when I throw myself at your mercy and beg you for ideas. Like in my earlier post, which you responded to amazingly well, I have stuck my characters in a situation where they are expecting me to come up with some brilliant plan to get them out of …
