pacing

Sometimes I wonder if I’ve started repeating blog post titles. Then I remember I’m coming up on the 11-year anniversary (!!!) of this site and I’ve decided not to let it bother me. Okay, so! As of my last post about a month ago, I’d finished writing a book that had taken me on quite […]

I’m still happily chugging along on Elemental Forces. I passed the 20K word mark and have plenty of story left to tell. While I don’t have a firm word count estimate just yet, this is shaping up to be the longest book I’ve written in quite some time. Believe it or not, I don’t have […]

When last we left off, I’d been sick for a month and hadn’t been doing much of anything. Long story short, I wound up having major surgery for my chronic illness in mid-January. Major as in, “we’ll try to do it laparoscopically, but we might have to cut you open,” and sure enough, I woke […]

I’m still plugging along on Sonata for Springtime, though between promo for Closing Montage and life in general, it’s been slow. By my estimation, I think I’m around a third of the way done, which isn’t too shabby. But since I write in order, I’m at a point that’s a tad less exciting than the […]

Since I last checked in 20 days ago, I did, in fact, finish the novella-in-progress. I’m wrapping up proofing/editing now, and then I’ll write the %#$&-ing blurbs, and then I guess it’s ready to ship off. Yay. As I mentioned in my last post, I’m not 100% thrilled with the pacing in parts. It is […]

I’ve finally arrived at the final chapter of my novella-in-progress (okay, there’s going to be a little epilogue, too), and as always, I’m sprinting toward the finish line. I don’t know what it is about endings that gets me to write faster. Maybe it’s because since I write in order, I’ve been thinking about the […]

In case you missed it (unlikely, I know), Seductive Suspect has been officially released. You can tell it’s official because it now has its own entry under the Books tab. 😀 They say the best way to promote your current book is to write the next one, so I’m happy to report I’ve finally gotten […]

As promised, here are some spoiler-free thoughts on Mass Effect: Andromeda. The game’s been out for almost a month and I’m not finished with it yet (how’s that for pacing?), and I’m really not sure how much I have left to go. Based on the level requirements to unlock certain things, I think there’s still […]

Almost a month since my last post? How’d that happen? At least I can report that Out of Orbit is underway. I’m not going to lie and say I have an astronomical word count I can brag about, but it’s coming along. Really. It’s been quite some time since I’ve done serious sci-fi and the […]

I’m nearing the end of my second playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition. This time, obviously, I’ve been taking my time and not blazing through to get to the end, letting the game consume every moment of my free time. Also (and I’ll elaborate on this throughout), I was able to almost halve the number of […]

It took some time, but I seem to have finally gotten some writing mojo back. I finished up the first draft for a short story I plan on submitting to an anthology, and I’m starting to get super excited about the projects I intend to work on next. Writing for anthologies is always an interesting […]

As of right now, Second Skin is set to release on Friday. Cross your fingers and mark it on your calendars! Nextly, it seems I have finally unearthed myself from the great big whopping pile of work I had. Of course it’s only a matter of time before things get crazy and I’m swamped again, […]
