You can now find “An Uncommon Collection” on Amazon in paperback and ebook versions! Inside, you’ll find fifteen fantastic stories! Here’s what the table of contents looks like: If ...

This past week has been rough. Kid’s birthday party, kid’s actual birthday, lots of lack of sleep, working on the CSFWG anthology, and more lack of sleep. I just haven’t been sleeping well lately, which saps my energy. I don’t have my personal laptop with me at the moment, so I can’t pull up an ...

An Uncommon Collection: Update

Nov

2012

The CSFWG anthology, An Uncommon Collection, is nearing completion! I received the physical proof from CreateSpace last night. I immediately opened the package and tore through the book. I looked for missing headers, additional headers that didn’t need to be there, font issues, cover askew, etc.. I didn’t see a single thing wrong! Yay! I’m ...

I only managed to eke out a little over 4,000 words this week. Not my best week. Not my worst week. Not something I’m happy with, though. I’m not quite sure what happened to the week, but I obviously didn’t get much done. I did hit one milestone I was shooting for. I had a ...

From time to time, my muse rears her head and talks to me. I’ve managed to capture some of these conversations and am sharing them with you. I will warn you that my muse is a potty-mouth. I have no control over what she tells me. Sorry. Muse: What do you mean you’re going away ...

Since my last update with you, I’ve managed to push out 5,700 words. Not my greatest week ever (which I think weighed in at around 15,000 words), but I’m still pretty happy with the results. Lots of my spare time (that I would normally use for writing) was volunteered to the Pikes Peak Writers and ...

My muse has been surprising nice and quiet to me lately. I think it’s because my butt’s been in the chair and my fingers have been on the keyboard this week. She’s still here with me, but humming a happy tune because I’m listening to her whispers and implementing them in my work. The point ...

I’m slammed-packed busy today with the Day Job, and my evening for today is going to be busy with Pikes Peak Writer goodness. This means a short post for me today. It may sound like I’m going to, yet again, report no progress on the book, but that’s not the case. Since we last spoke on ...

The Start of NaNoSubMo!

Nov

2012

Today is the first day of NaNoWriMo! Good luck to everyone out there trying to crank out 1,667 words each day in the month of November. I’m not participating this year. I have a finished and polished novel ready for public consumption. Well, it’s ready for consumption by agents and editors. They’ll determine what changes ...
