Woo-hoo! Came in just under the wire this time, but I’m happy to have made it at all. This month was pretty hectic.
You can see my official NaNoWriMo page here, and my unofficial list of NaNoWriMo novels here, if you’d like to get an idea of my previous years’ attempts.
At 50,076 words, of course, Obstruction […]

I had to take a short break on NaNoWriMo this week, you know, earn my salary, but last night I wrote another couple of pages and moved things another step forward. I can’t tell if my pacing is too fast or too slow! Sometimes I feel as though everyone is blah-blah-blah talking too much, […]

Yesterday I didn’t get much written, as I’d rather expected, since I headed off to visit family around 12:30. I got home again around 7 p.m., but after fiddling around with a quick little home project, I decided that I’d rather wrap up Season 2 of Torchwood than write. Disc 4 featured more James […]

Good look to everyone who’s participating in National Novel Writing Month this year!

Those hot dry winds that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands’ necks. Anything can happen. — Raymond […]

Today I put on a hat I haven’t worn for a while — worldbuilder — and started mapping out the continent in which Clockwork Heart is set. In the first book it didn’t matter too much where all the countries were in relation to each other, but in the second, which I hope to start […]

Although I initially wrote Clockwork Heart as a standalone novel, enough readers and reviewers have wondered about a sequel that I’ve found myself musing over what’s going to happen next to Taya and Cristof. As a result, I’m planning to start writing an as-of-yet-unnamed and -uncontracted sequel this November. It ought to be a lighthearted […]
