I’m down to the final leg of Arlyn’s story. Less than 10,000 words to go from my length estimate. I’m realizing my estimate might be a couple thousand off or so, meaning I think I’ll need extra words to finish the story. Still, that’s not a bad amount to be off by with an estimate. … Continue reading Almost done, I think
Gohaldinest is my city in Tangled Magic and Walk the Path. I've been thinking about it a lot recently. In Arlyn's time, Gohaldinest is supposed to be a myth, and yet I find myself making coy references to it in Arlyn's story. In a way, it's frustrating me. I feel like there's more to this … Continue reading Missing pieces
I took a look today at how far behind I have gotten with my publishing. I have several short stories out that are only in electronic (and some in audio too) form. I also have a whole bunch that need to either be out "in the mail" submitting for magazines or published. That doesn't even … Continue reading Awareness
Today has been strange and it’s thrown off my groove. Because of that, I thought I’d start off with my blog and prime the pump, so to speak. Is it working? So far, no (grin). I made the mistake of turning on the tv for noise while I write, but I’m being distracted and watching … Continue reading Almost writing
I’ve just spent two hours in a writing blaze. I do have over 2,000 words to show for it through. Wow. I was doing very well until I had to stop and look something up in Sword and Shield (book 6). I love the Seneca quotes. I really do think that I studies with Seneca … Continue reading Pulled in and falling
I’m very happy and excited to be writing Arlyn’s story. After I finished writing my blog a few nights ago when I mentioned that I was at a hard spot, I started considering the world and the characters. The world at this time is one without magic. There’s a secret organization struggling to survive. Mysteries … Continue reading Trust in action
I feel like I’m at a strange point in Arlyn‘s story. I’m just beyond that one-third point and I’m trying write through it. I feel like I’m missing something. I want something awesome, something to add an additional level to the story where readers who has gone through the Sacred Knight series will just be … Continue reading When a story can go any direction
I used to make French Toast on a regular basis when my boys were younger. Yesterday as I was making myself breakfast, I got a hankering for French Toast, but since I already had breakfast cooking, I wasn’t going to change then. I decided to make it today. And I failed. Miserably. Yeah, I did … Continue reading French Toast gone wrong
I got far enough into Arlyn's story today that I had to make a hard decision. I had three choices about how this would go. I knew it would be one character, or another, or neither. So which is it? Well, I won't say here so that there aren't spoilers. But I will say that … Continue reading The creative voice strikes again
I spent every moment tonight writing. Still not quite done, and I’m kind of wondering if there’s actually more story. Maybe that’s why I’ve been dragging my feet on the ending. I’m waiting to see if the story tells me there’s more that I need to go back for. There’s been a couple paragraphs which … Continue reading No time tonight
