Well, I'm supposed to be 6668 words into Legends of the Vengeance book TWO right now. I'm not. Slacker, you say? HA! Slacker my eye... er fingers? Less than an hour before Camp NaNoWriMo started, I got the word from Madame Publicist Extraordinaire. "Write the next Journey of Dreams book. Continue Reading

Happy Birthday to Me!
So, Wednesday I had this cool idea and decided that I was going to make me a birthday present. So, I skipped over to my handy, dandy Photoshop and created my idea. Want to see my birthday present? I got notice last night that it shipped. Isn't it cool? I can't wait. I might even Continue Reading
A Chat with Willow…
Every day I get half a dozen emails about Willow asking questions, making observations, and begging for more. For those who have taken the time to encourage me, I really want to thank you! It's so cool to open my email and see, "I want to BE Willow." It assures me that I've accomplished my goal-- Continue Reading
Ahh… Willow the words…

Don’t Forget!
Am. Are. Was. Were. -ing. Ugh.
Early in my writing "career" (what a funny word for what I do), I learned to place each adverb with perfect precision (note that I didn't say "very carefully) in my manuscripts. I am no expert--not even close. However, I am careful about their overuse, and as a result, I rarely have sentences that Continue Reading
Enjoyed an Aggie Book?
I'd really appreciate it if you could take a moment in the next few days and leave a review for it/each one. I'm not asking for anything in depth (not that I'm opposed), just a few sentences saying what you thought of it is sufficient. Here are the links to those books Ready or Not For Continue Reading
Just One More…
I promise I won't turn this into a "woe is me" blog. There was a question on the NaNoWriMo forums tonight. I often don't get involved in discussions there, but this one tugged at me. The question that prompted the discussion was a simple one. "Anyone else just not... feeling it?" I thought Continue Reading
When Reality Overwrites Fiction
"I can't explain, just pray." The words came ten nights ago. Frankly, five of the worst words I've ever heard in my life. They signaled the beginning of my three year old grandson's ordeal. If you ask Stephen what happened to him, he'll say, "A bird died." It's just a little more Continue Reading
Crow with a Side of Rook Pie
I think writers are opinionated people. We kind of have to be in order to put down our ideas with any confidence. I'd say non-fiction writers might be more opinionated by nature, but I doubt it. What does that have to do with my humble meal? Writing programs. I've tried so many. Write It Continue Reading
