Harvesting a book

Why do I do this to myself? I have never made an attempt to publish a damned thing, and yet here I am, sitting in front of my laptop, trying to get into writing. I'm going through some of my old writings, hoping to finish a few of my projects, and maybe find something worth …

At it again

I opened up one of my many works in progress, and my favorite, Jasmine. This is the one I want to work on, to finish, to publish. It's probably the nearest one to my heart. Jasmine's about the aftermath of a betrayal, of finding out the man you love is a cheater, and managing to …

Content moved

I just got done moving all my content from my previous blog. It only took two hours of complete annoyance, and sitting in a coffee shop drinking my now cold coffee. I still have some housekeeping to do, mainly with updating links and such, but otherwise I'm up and running. The hard part will be …

Another oil painting

I've been taking a break from writing. It's not that I don't want to write, or that I've ceased to have anything to say, but rather that I've become obsessed with a new ambition. I love painting! I talked about it on my previous post, and I guess I'm just going to repeat myself, but …

Waiting and working

I'm still waiting for my friend to get back with me on the book she's reading, so in the meantime, I'm going crazy. Is it good? She hates it. I knew it. She hated it so much that she doesn't want to tell me how bad it is. It's been over two weeks, and she …

Read, delete, rewrite, repeat

I completely deleted the ending chapters of Jasmine. Gone. I'm left with a blank page on which to work on. I've been fighting with the ending for years. I've been trying to make it work, trying and failing, then giving up, only to start again and to meet the same frustrations. This time it's over. The …

Dusting off the pages

I pulled out my 2012 NaNoWriMo novel this evening and began to work on it. It's one of the novels that I'm most passionate about because I think there's something there, a story I want to tell. It's probably also one of the most personal for me because it deals with a hard break up …

Day One

I started reading a book. See? Already working on that resolution list. Should have put take more naps on that list because I immediately fell asleep. Not because of the book, mind you. It's just a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I've been needing to catch up on my sleep. Can't wait for bedtime! I'm slowly …

What I'm up to

I think I've spent more time writing my short stories than I have anything else lately. I haven't even been reading much this year, considering I've ended doing book reviews. I feel as though I did a poor job with my reviews, but the time it took to read and consider how to write what …

Short Story: Lina

I had had several opportunities to back out before now, I thought as I stepped into the elevator of a hotel near the airport. There had been plenty of time to call the whole thing off before it got to this point, and I had yet to reach that point of no return, but I …
