Where Normal Need Not Apply
I had a really bad day of writing on Tuesday. My muse was off in his own little world. I was frustrated about getting further behind on…well, everything. And the words I did write felt like crap. (I know, I know. It’s my own fault my muse was distracted, because in my […]
Those of you who follow me on Twitter might have seen me tweet quotes from spam comments posted to my blog. If so, you might have noticed I get some very “interesting” comments. It’s gotten to the point that I look forward to reading spam comments. Even more pathetically, I’m […]
(Note: I am not Tawna Fenske, so that title is not a euphemism for anything. Sorry. However, this post might include a reference to a shower scene of one woman with two guys. Or not.) I mentioned last time that one day of the weekend was taken up by writing-related […]

Today I’m guest blogging at Melinda Collins’s blog. I’m talking about the craft of writing, and how I love every bit of it. Yes, even the hair-ripping-out parts. *smile* That love of the craft means I don’t have a favorite part of the process, so I don’t strictly fall on […]

My one-year blogiversary is coming up on July 12th. The occasion has me doing something I don’t normally do: math. Eek! This is my 101st blog post, and during that time, this blog has passed 100 Google Friend Connect followers, 250 RSS subscribers, and 1500 comments (not including mine). I […]
Some people post their work online all the time. Photographers have Shutterstock. Artists have deviantART. Non-fiction authors often base their books on their blog posts. What about fiction authors? That’s a little trickier. We’re not talking about flash fiction, blog hop entries, and the like here. If we limit the […]
All writers get their ideas from somewhere. The question is—where, or what, is that somewhere? I don’t believe muses are entities like those venerated in Ancient Greece. However, when my subconscious comes up with things I never saw coming and never could have consciously created in a million years, it’s […]
