Writing Life

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

Conversations In My Head

Joss: ‘kay. Let’s talk sequel. KD: No. Joss: [smirks] Come on, baby. You know you want me. KD: I haven’t even written the end of the first book yet! Joss: First book! Ha, there will be a sequel! KD: well, yeah, but I’m not talking about it now. I’m going to finish you, then take […]

Zowie

Not to be confused with Zoe. I’m talking zowie. Rhymes with owie. (and yaoi! Speaking of, posted another prequel to Shades and Hues on the fanfic page.) I’ve got 40K on my NaNovel. I’m still loving it. There hasn’t been a single time I’ve despaired of it being any good. No, Joss has kept me

Under the Wire

Made it! 10,005 words at 22:15 on the last day of the challenge! FWEEEEE! Go me! And I made a discovery that shouldn’t have been so hard to figure out. I write much faster in Joss’ POV. It makes sense. I know him better. He’s been jumping around my brain for over a year. Paige

NaNooooo…

November is my crazy month. I know, I know, I’m not that sane the rest of the year. But November–well, in November I have an excuse. A defense.

Like, Wow, Dude

I am a writer. Sometimes I’m a darned good one. Other times not so much. But I’m always trying, practicing, learning, reading–I work damn hard at my vocation. And it’s all worthwhile when I get a Gift. Some time ago on the old blog, I ranted about discovering that I’d lost a scene. A wonderful,
