October 2009 Writing Challenge Wrap-Up

Posted in My Writings, tagged on November 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

This month I was able to get in 11,584 words. It’s less than I had hoped. I got busy/tired this last week, and missed a couple days. Even though I didn’t break my record of 12,130 words in a month, I’m still pleased with the amount of progress I made.
As for the novel itself, I’m [...]

October Writing Challenge

Posted in My Writings, tagged , , on September 29, 2009 | 1 Comment »

If you’ve noticed on the sidebar, I had a monthly goal for writing in September. It wasn’t part of any writing challenge – just a personal one. My goal started at 14,000 words in the month, but now I’m just hoping to beat 12,063 words in the month – which will beat my record of [...]

My Next Project

Posted in My Writings, tagged on July 23, 2009 | 4 Comments »

For the past couple weeks, I’ve been wondering what I should work on next. I’ve done a lot of brainstorming for The Tailor Magician, but I just wasn’t excited about it anymore. I didn’t feel up to doing a rewrite on Phoenix Princess. The rest of my ideas were only half-baked.
Then Monday I was struck [...]

Maybe I should try this.

Rogue and Gambit: Scene 1

Posted in My Writings, tagged , on June 15, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Author’s Note: This scene was inspired by a dream I had of Gambit showing Rogue his powers. It was so fun that I had to write it down before I forgot it. I’m sharing it here, since if I do decide to turn it into something (which I am getting some intriguing ideas for) I’d [...]

Hatchlings and a Story Idea

Posted in Life, My Writings on May 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Recently, I got addicted to a Facebook game called Hatchlings. It’s a game where every person who adds the application has a little nest that eggs are hidden in. Every time you collect an egg, another egg gets hidden elsewhere in the application. When you find an egg, you can incubate it until it hatches [...]

I’m So Bummed…

Posted in My Writings, Rejections on April 21, 2009 | 4 Comments »

Remembering that I never checked mail yesterday, I just went out to my mailbox and discovered my SASE from Leading Edge. I was disappointed to see it, as I expected an acceptance to come via email. But it was thicker than my previous rejections from Leading Edge have been, so I had a glimmer of [...]

Phoenix Princess v 0 is Finished!

Posted in My Writings on April 6, 2009 | 4 Comments »

Wow, what a ride it has been! Years of daydreaming. Lots of head-banging. Many chores put to the side. And now, it is finally done!
Is it ready to be published? Not by a long shot. The characters need a major overhaul (Nadyae’s too wimpy, Cahreen’s too perfect of a hero). The romance is sappy. The [...]

It’s been too long since I’ve written, so I’m jumping into a writing challenge at Tristi’s Challenges. My goal for the month is 13,000 words. I have three projects to be worked on, since I’m really close to finishing two of them.
First up is Phoenix Princess. When I finally finish that novel, I’ll work on [...]
