Word Whore Thursday: Writing Without Rituals

Posted in blog | Tagged | 1 Comment
In most RPG games, you’re stuck picking an alignment of some sort – it helps the game figure out how you’re going to play and will often influence the outcomes of certain situations. It comes as very little surprise to me that I often roll up someone in the chaotic good/chaotic neutral arena, since chaos is pretty much what sums up my “real” life. So it makes sense that my writing habits are very much the same way. Read more about it over at Word Whores. And FYI, blogging may be a little more chaotic than usual next week since I’ll be on travel to go to the RT convention. We’ll see how it goes, but I’m hoping to take a lot of pictures this time around. 🙂… Read more

Word Whore Thursday: The Methods to My Madness

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | Leave a comment
I’m over at Word Whores today talking a little bit about my writing process – the whole pantster vs plotter argument, though I’m not really sure I have much of a method these days. (Aside from “Get the damn book written.” but that probably goes without saying…) Also, Pocket After Dark is running a contest to win seven signed books (including Brush of Darkness). All you have to do is comment about which cross-over you’d like to see between your favorite characters from whatever series you like. Anyone up for an Abby and Bones pairing? LOL In other bits of random news, I do have tentative release dates for the sequels to Brush of Darkness – which will be March 2012 and October 2012, respectively. No titles or anything yet, but I’ll obviously post more more when I know it. (And yes, I have to get an FAQ up on… Read more

Word Whore Thursday & St. Patty’s Day Contest!

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , | 1 Comment
I’m over at Word-Whores today talking a little bit o’ the drink (complete with ragingly sexist Guinness commercial), and a killer Guineess & Bailey’s cupcake recipe that I found online, so go check it out! In the meantime, because it’s St. Patrick’s Day and therefore full of win, I’m giving away a set of all four of my new trading cards! Open to everyone/international – just leave a comment down below stating which character from A Brush of Darkness you’d like to have a drink with…and what you’d be having! Winner will be drawn at random. 🙂  (Quite possibly by hedgehog, if I can get Tumbleweed to deprickle a bit…) Here’s a shot of the fronts of the cards if you haven’t seen them before:… Read more

Trading Spaces

Posted in blog | Tagged , | Leave a comment
I’m over at The League of Reluctant Adults today talking a little bit about the trading card coolness that’s going to be happening at many of the conventions this summer. And sadly enough, I totally forgot to mention my Word-Whores post from last Thursday – the theme was sexual euphemisms of all things, so feel free to check that out as well. (Yeah, I’m not sure how I forgot to mention it either – think things got a crazy with the scheduling, although I’m not sure that’s anything new. *eyeroll*)… Read more

Word Whore Thursday

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , , | 1 Comment
I’m over at Word Whores today, talking about small indulgences. Also, I’m sorta whining about my 11th birthday, but hey, at least I’m honest about my motivations. I’m also over at Ramblings of a Chaotic Mind, talking about world building. Aside from that, I’m home sick again today. (Working from home, but definitely too messed up to drive anywhere). Works out okay because I had a chunk of siding blow off the house this weekend and now I can be here to have someone come put it back on. Which is good because when the wind blows it sounds like a small train is about to come hurtling through the kids’ bathroom. (About four am, I wake up and fine one or both kids in bed with me because the noise is freaking them out.) I have managed to get my faery costume in order for the RT ball, however,… Read more
