I just finished novel revisions!!!! (Yes, that required four exclamation points ( Read more... )

Fortunately, my area's on the outer edge of Sandy, so the weather hasn't been nearly as bad as in some other places. It has thrown a wrench in my crazy Halloween deadline schedule, though. :( So, here's a brief writing update:

Patience: This NCIS WIP is due for an NFA challenge on Halloween, so it's my No. 1 priority. I'm two chapters away from ( Read more... )

If you're looking for a story spark, this week's Story Cubes Challenge is up at my original fic blog.

If you've never played with Story Cubes, they're dice with images. The challenge (in this case) is to write a story that uses all nine images. It's a fun writing exercise. (Well, I think it's fun. I might just be weird.)

I spent the morning working on cover mockups for the novel since this cold has my brain too fogged for revisions. Please head over and vote for your favorite! (Or tell me they're all blah and I need to go back to the drawing board.)

Jesse Stern tweeted that Brian Dietzen is playing a role in the pilot he's filming. *cheers* Rumor has it Paul Telfer (who played Damon Werth) also has a role. Please let a network pick this up!

I'm starting to think sanity might finally be returning to my writing life (yay!). Just a quick update on where my various projects are. I'm kind of in limbo this week because my keyboard's R key doesn't work so I can't write anything at home. (Seriously, couldn't it have been Q or Z or X?)

All That Is Necessary (Exeter): Novel is in final ( Read more... )

My sister finally had her baby, who I'm nicknaming SuperBaby online. (She was rolling from her back to her side and her belly to her side at four days old.) She's adorable! And her mother would kill me if I posted her picture, so I won't. You'll just have to take my word for it ( Read more... )

Looking for a writing prompt? Check out my weekly Rory's Story Cubes Challenge at my original fiction site. We're up to Week 18, but you can jump in and do any of them at any time.

I've been MIA from a lot of places lately, including here, thanks to work insanity and novel revisions. I've got a couple of fanfic pieces that are still on the to-do list - one posted as a WIP (NCIS: Patience) and one not (Hawaii Five-0), but I figured I'd go ahead and post the link to the (free!) novel excerpt for my book that comes out in ( Read more... )
