String Theory Rhapsody

Posted on September 17, 2013October 10, 2014Leave a comment

I saw this video today on String Theory, done to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody. It’s quite geeky, so I decided to share with it with you in case you, too, find geeky things entertaining. And besides, who doesn’t like Read More…

7/5/2024 EDIT: I wrote this before certain information came to light. I’m leaving it here, but please read it with that understanding.  An interesting conversation took place in an online writing community this morning about entitlement and self-improvement. I’ve seen Read More…

I’m down to the nitty-gritty on updates to the site. Setting up all the social media pages and linking them here. Hopefully I can finish it in the next day or two so I can get back to writing!

NaNoWha?

Posted on September 8, 2013January 28, 2014Leave a comment

Authors get asked fairly often whether or not they support NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. I decided to write my take on the entire thing. Feel free to read it and comment on it with your own two cents Read More…

Posted on August 14, 2013January 28, 2014Leave a comment

I took a break from Don’t Call Me Daughter to work on revisions of Amaskan’s Blood. I needed the break from it–the words were beginning to swim. I did finish hard-copy revisions on AB though, so now to actually do Read More…

DCMD Update while aflood with boxes!

Posted on April 10, 2013January 28, 2014Leave a comment

Despite being sick and aflood with boxes (still!), I managed to finish Don’t Call Me Daughter. It’s way too long, yet I felt like I wrote it very compactly. Still, I need to cut a good 100 pages from it. Read More…
