Writing Life

The life most real to me. As evidenced by the preponderance of posts.

They're Talking to Me…

Sometimes, very rarely, I wish I could make the voices stop. It’s getting a little old. I need to get the first book edited and sent. That’s where my focus needs to be. But Donte and Selene of book two, and Fenta of book three, and Kat of book six or so, not even born […]

Have You Met my Therapist?

Laugh if you like–but there’s one way to make sure I never lose my mind. (Raspberries to those saying I already have!) Let me write. Let me write, and I’ll be happy.

New Book Idea

I know, like I need another one. What I really need is to finish editing the first one, send it out, and finish writing the second one. But I got this idea… Actually, it’s a character.

The Wider World-Wide-Web
