Welcome! I had to cancel the original party due to the flu-like cold and ridiculously high fever I had. This one will NOT be canceled. I'm bound and determined that if even sick, I will still go! So, come and join me in celebrating the launch of Forever Burn. There will be cool swag that … Continue reading Book Lauch Party rehashed

Battery Assault
Hey guys! So my writing was slow today. Sadly it had to do with a lot of pain in my wrist. So instead of pushing through to finish, I'm just going to do that tomorrow. Here's what I did today! It's one of my favorite chapter titles ever and I will actually tell you why. … Continue reading Battery Assault
In the Line & Conspiracy to Commit
I finished two chapters today (one is short, I swear I'm not THAT insane). I am, however, working on chapter 11. There are 15 total currently, but I might drop one. We'll see. The first chapter (aka ch 9) has some really important stuff in it. And ch 10 tells a bit more background for … Continue reading In the Line & Conspiracy to Commit
Grammar Wednesday: COMMA–sequence of events/lists
Welcome! Guess what?! This is the last week on commas! Oh my! Unless someone really doesn't understand one of the rules or I feel there needs to be a reprise. We're done! (Yes, why I do believe I overused my exclamation quota for the day.) Sequences of events and lists are very similar in nature. … Continue reading Grammar Wednesday: COMMA–sequence of events/lists
Schrodinger’s Cat
Here's what I have been working on today! I'm finally getting back into writing after a very busy month of traveling, school and illness. My goal this week (which also happens to be my Spring Break) is to finished writing this super secret project that's not so secret. That means writing about 8,000 words a … Continue reading Schrodinger’s Cat
Writing and Book Launching!
This world has been crazy the past few weeks for me. I am writing, though not on fiction (unless you are atheist, then maybe it's fiction to you). I am sermonizing. It's actually quite like writing a short story. I'll share it when I'm done. I'm also adding in music to it. Secondly, if you … Continue reading Writing and Book Launching!
Grammar Wednesday: COMMA–participle phrase
Participle phrases can be a bit tricky. Basically, if you have a sentence with an "ing" word in it, you need to pay attention to what's going on! A participle is a verb that acts and pretends to be an adjective. It modifies the noun. So, now that I've probably confused you with the lingo, … Continue reading Grammar Wednesday: COMMA–participle phrase
Fucking Fucks! (Cursing in exposition)
I need to preface this post with the fact that I am NOT against cursing in books. So, I am NOT against cursing in books. Have you every seen the movie "Good Will Hunting"? I read something recently where it started to turn into that movie. For the first ten pages there were no curse … Continue reading Fucking Fucks! (Cursing in exposition)
Writing brings people together…
Yesterday, I spent the day at the Dallas Sci-fi Expo/Comic con. It was an amazing experience. I met actors from my favorite TV shows, friends from twitter, and hung out with general geeks like me! Aside from the general grandeur, what amazed me the most was how writing brings people together. I went with a … Continue reading Writing brings people together…
Devil’s Advocate
Wrote about 8k words today! My original goal was 5k and I upped it to 10k. I'm satisfied and taking the rest of the night off. This project is turning out to be amazing! I'm so excited for it! In 2,000 more words, I'll be a quarter of the way through my original plot (always … Continue reading Devil’s Advocate
James meets Heath
This is one of my favorite scenes. Mostly because James is extremely annoyed. ‘Mr. Sheriff’s Deputy with the extra smelly cologne’ had his hand on her leg and a soft look on his face. “You okay?” “Yeah, I’m fine.” Her brow narrowed and wrinkled between her eyes. It was a look she often gave when … Continue reading James meets Heath
