What’s Your Editing Quirk? Among Other Things

Today happens to be my 32nd birthday! Check out my birthday post for info on the giveaway I’m doing this week to celebrate, and my interview today on author Aine P. Massie’s blog House Millar.  Once again, it’s been ten days since I checked in. That’s partially because I have little to update — I’ve […]

Charles Dickens’ 200th Birthday — and Serial Fiction

Today is the two hundredth anniversary of Charles Dickens’ birth. I learned something new about Dickens today — his work was originally published as serial fiction, in a variety of magazines, then later bound into books after all of the installments were out. Check out this PBS article for more on that. I’m intrigued by […]

Sunday Update: ROWers Take Care, and Take Heart

I did a bit of a disappearing act these last couple of weeks. It’s been hard to fit in anything but the essentials in life, and I’ve been admitting that and getting the rest I need to stay healthy instead of pushing all hours to get writing done. I got a few hundred words in […]

Quick Sunday Update

Howdy, fellow ROWers. I hope you all had a more successful week than I did. Sick kids and craziness at work sapped my energy. But I won’t waste your time with whining about what went wrong. The truth is, when I did sit down to write the next part of Flight, I found an issue […]

Reina Stowe’s New Story Twenty Questions and Giveaway

Reina Stowe’s New Story Twenty Questions and Giveaway

A couple of months ago, I interviewed erotic romance author Reina Stowe about her work in this post. Reina has just released her second story, titled Twenty Questions. Reina’s stories really catch you. Her characters feel real from the first scene, and by the time they get what they need, you’re really pulling for them. […]

Sunday Update

I hope everyone is having a nice holiday weekend. It’s our annual family get-together with one section of the family, so I’m at a vacation house in Sunriver, Oregon with lots of family. Fun times. It’s really fun to watch these folks with my kids, since they don’t get to see each other very often. […]

Mid-Week Update and New Goal

I’m really happy to have progress to report in the middle of the week! I still didn’t write on Monday — I was under the weather and just not in the mood. LOL. But on Tuesday I wrote 1,800 words, so I’ve still managed to keep up with my cumulative goal. I’ve written the first […]

Sunday Update

This was one of those weeks where life throws curveballs. Not anything life-changing, but roadblocks in the way of getting to MY stuff, like writing. I set a goal to write 500 words a day, but I still managed to write just two days this week. However, when I did write I accomplished a lot […]
