I sent the end of Book 1 to my in-person critique group yesterday. I expect there will be some adjusting necessary, though I am interested to see how they feel about the ending as they’ve read the whole book, whereas
Blogging in 2024
Every now and then I sit here and actually think about marketing (I know, shocking). And one of the things I think vaguely about is…is this blog working? Is it doing anything for me? Is blogging even still relevant in
WriYe and Writing Characters
Howdy, howdy, squiders. I got a flat tire today, which is a pain in the ass. Siiiiiigh. Hole in the sidewall, so no repairs for me. But anyway. WriYe’s September prompt is: What type of characters do you like writing?
Focus, Go!

Shannara Readthrough: A Knight of the Word
Howdy, squiders. Hope you’re doing well. I’ve finally finished the next book in my Shannara readthrough (I read the last book–technically the first book chronologically–in spring of 2022. Making excellent progress, she says sarcastically.) and thought we should probably talk
WriYe and Distractions
Happy Wednesday, squiders. How are you? This month WriYe’s prompt is: Define your biggest distraction and how you deal with it. Ha. Haha. I don’t necessarily have a specific distraction that draws me away from writing. What I have is
