A BRIEF UPDATE Remember that shiny sparkly new story I did prewriting for last week? Well, that turned into writing a shiny sparkly new story. The working title is THE PERSET PACK, in which “perset” means “breakfast.” Set in my Light-Walkers universe, the story is: THE BREAKFAST CLUB (minus the misogyny and homophobia of that …
Okay, so remember when I said a couple weeks back that I’m sitting on four (4) novel-length works (3 novels and 1 short story collection) that each need a relatively small amount of work before going out into the world? It would behoove me to pick one of those and finish it and get it …
Okay, so it’s currently a quarter to midnight, and I have to get up early in the morning to ride a horse. No, that’s not a euphemism. You sickos. Anyway, before I sleep, I want to say a brief thing about my WIPs. A BRIEF THING ABOUT MY WIPS: Author extraordinaire and all-around good human …
When I last left this blog, I was in the middle of Atheism for Lent, bleeding my thoughts onto the digital page as I processed everything I was reading, watching, listening to. I remember feeling as though I were in a good place in life. My writing was going well; we had recently gotten our …

Well, I’ve missed a few weeks again of blogging here. It’s because late July through end of August kinda kicked my tushie. The kid was sick. I was sick. The two of us went on a last-minute mini-vay with my mom. The kid started 1st grade. (WHAT MANNER OF INSANITY IS THIS.) I got sick …

I was sick.We started collectively preparing for the summer to end and the new school year to commence.My mom took the kiddo and me on a last-minute weekend trip to Bartlesville, OK, where we visited Woolaroc, went antiquing (I bought my first piece …
This post is nothing more than me geeking out over my own storyverse. I indulged a bit a few weeks ago when I blogged about all the stories in the Light-Walker universe thus far, as well as the LW stories I have in mind for the rest of my natural life (and maybe beyond; we’ll …
Every so often in conversation, I’ll blather something to a non-writer about how I wanted a work-in-progress to progress a certain way, but my characters informed me otherwise. “But you’re the author,” comes the puzzled reply. “Don’t you control where the story goes?” Well, yes.
