I finished my first edit of RUNAWAY CHOICES last night and in the process I figured out a small little nugget I added in to the story to make it much better. I hope… Haha. Like all first, second and maybe even fifth drafts, it’s surely not ready for submission, publication or the general public. [...]
Goodness, I can’t believe it’s March already! I guess time flies when your having fun. I start week five of my running program (More like week seven or eight, but only on week five because I think the program is for super humans, not regular Joe average people like Debbie and I). I am loosely [...]

And yes, I am over the age of 12… so really, it should just annoy me. But I love the whimsical techno kiddy sound… and it doesn’t hurt that the lyrics are rated G for Giggly! Ahem, why yes I am listening to them right now, why do you ask? Totally not what I intended [...]

On February 5, 2010… I started posting my UNSEEN works as Serial fiction. We started off with Ishmael, the story that started it all. It won a Timed Writing Contest back in April 2009 where they gave us our first line and only two days to complete it. Unfortunately, that writers site didn’t last… So [...]
That was the sound of me shooting myself in the foot… or was it? If you have been following my writing/editing/querying/going insane process, you will know one of two things… I am crazy… and I just spent three months perfecting my query. Okay maybe 2 months 29 days… but still. You might also know that [...]
I feel like Dorthy in the wizard of Oz, things are spiraling out of control and I am going to land SOMEWHERE then know, I am not in Kansas anymore. It all started with a novel… one I am passionate about. One I have cared for and grown for the past eight years… one that [...]
Phew! What a pain in my tookus! For the past couple days I have been walking through, The Rings of Time… Chapter by Chapter. Only mildly distracted by twitter (hahaha) I finally finished last night around 10:00pm. What a relief. My purpose behind running through each chapter (all 37 of them) was simple… I needed to [...]
