In Shadows

Another 4k today. Over 11k for three days. No guarantees I'll be able to work on it over the rest of the week – scheduled to work. Aries, got your envelope. That’s a mighty BIG envelope for a puny little bookplate. You sure you want me to use it? The sucker would fit fine in [...]

55 hours of work, no arthritis meds, and FINALLY two days off. 6277 words of editing today. Hope to do about the same tomorrow. Two more chapters done and about a quarter of the way through Tiopa Ki Lakota. Been fighting with my insurance company off and on for the last few days. They're computers [...]

So, Saturday I busted out another 4700 words, making a total of over 10k for two days editing. Whew. I’m now up to the point where Anpo sees Kathleen with her eyes for the first time. Work’s kicking my butt. I haven’t recovered from the unexpected graveyard shift; still very tired. Worked ten hours yesterday [...]

Has been a pretty productive day. Yesterday, too. Yesterday, I saw S and N and gave S an autographed copy of Castle Walls. Then saw J and did the same. Then wandered over to Coffee People to have a Velvet Hammer and pumpkin bread while I reaquainted myself with my Tiopa Ki Lakota rewrites. Got [...]

You’re a pantser, someone who “writes by theseat of her pants.” You’re the type of awriter who has a brilliant story idea, and runswith it. You’re very creative, with the sourceof your creativity in spontaneity. Outlinesbring you down, and you could never write astory if you knew ahead of time how it wasgoing to end. [...]

and another 2k in the can. Discovered that I had dumped quite a bit of Kathleen's childhood during the plot restructuring. I'll have to be extra vigilant in her later life to explain her family history now.

got ‘em! I got ‘em! I got my copies of Castle Walls!! W00T! I’ve also got all the copies signed that need signing. Next week, six of them will hit the US Snail, and two go to people here in Portland. On the Tiopa Ki Lakota front, I just finished a new scene where young [...]

I'm already about 7k into Tiopa rewrites. Working on chapter five now and one new scene. Don't know that there'll be more than the one additional. Depends on how the edits go and where I think it's missing something. LOTS of passive voice removed. A couple of new words, ones that I’ve learned recently. It’s [...]

So . . . I’m really happy for Aries. Apparently, people in the UK who ordered Castle Walls have already received it! YAY! And it was only ordered last week! Major kudos! But . . . Where are MY copies? I’m supposed to get ten freebies! I’m hearing how wonderful my book looks and I [...]

A couple of years ago, I had this story idea kicking around in my head about a princess running from the man who slaughtered her family, and was now coming after her. I needed someplace for her to go, someone for her to run into that would assist in hiding her until the culmination of [...]
