Writing Life

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

Slow and Steady…

Okay, so actually it’s been in fits and starts and leaps. But I have been working steadily. Tonight I wrote 462 words to finish Chapter Eleven, and went on to write 254 words of Chapter Twelve of Flame. Total, 716 words. Yay! Finally, finally, it’s flowing.

Another Sick Day

In four years, I have not missed so much time.  But what can I do?  I am sick.  My stomach hurts, my head hurts, and I can’t maintain six straight hours of consciousness. I guess I feel guilty because I am writing.  I’ve been eating toast and chicken broth for three days, I can’t fix

Imagination Brings Inspiration

Check this out.  King of the Sea I was wasting time *cough* wandering a bit, looking for something other than the common Tentacled Sea Monster ™ to stick into Flame’s story when I stumbled across this lovely fellow.

Teh Shiny!!

My language rocks.  Observe. Pay attention. One false move now…Flame breathed relief as she landed a toe on the balcony. A light flashed, but she’d been told to expect that. Flame eased down to stand, and waited. “Who comes?” “Vrafha Jamrhee kivoriynle juné.” I bring warning. “A Vral?” A figure appeared behind flowing curtains, a
