Okay, So I Didn’t Get A Pony…
But I DID find out that The Vengeful Rogue is sold! So…whatever, I don’t need a pony. I don’t have to clean up after a sold book, at least not once the revisions have been done! XD Either way, it’s a great birthday present, and a nice way of of celebrating me hitting a QUARTER […]

Read the Rest »Doubts
I have made for you, a small film, showing you how to handle doubt crows. Enjoy. Okay, yeah, I promise I won’t quit my day job… Really, if only doubts were just crows and we could PHYSICALLY beat them off with a frying pan. It would be easier than dealing with the un-physical stuff. Because […]
Read the Rest »Building a Character
Sadly, it’s nothing like building something from a kit. Paint by numbers. Glue part C to part D and attach to parts A and B. Nope. It only it were that simple. And the great thing about characters? They’re ALL different. Like people. Which means creating them is rarely the same process twice. Goooody. Really, […]
Read the Rest »The Cycle Continues
It’s the writer circle of life…Write book…submit book…angst about book…get swarmed by LEGIONS of flipping doubt crows. Then the voices start talking to you. You know, the voices of the characters for your next MS. What? Don’t tell me they don’t talk to you. They do, right? It’s not just me…RIGHT??? (it gives me Cathy […]
Read the Rest »It’s the Little Things
That’s what it came down to in the revisions on this MS. I didn’t realize it until I was actually in it. That making my heroine more assertive was a matter of her meeting the hero’s eyes instead of looking down before she spoke to him. That a few subtle changes in her body language, […]

Read the Rest »Free To Be Me
The Vengeful Rogue got all Vengeful on me. I got revisions today! What does that have to do with being me? More on that in a moment. I have to ramble first. These revisions were slightly different to the norm. And by that I meant it didn’t center around my characters being jerked around by […]
