Writing was such an unbelievable struggle for me this year. I felt like I hadn't written anything worth a damn in terms of word counts. So, I really wanted to do this this year to see if it really had been as bad as I thought. And going through, it's easy to see why I thought it was so bad. I had huge swaths of time with no writing at all. But ( Read more... )

So, about a week ago, I finally found Melusine and The Virtu legally for Kindle (it’s about time! :D) and snapped them up. I then decided that an entire Doctrine of Labyrinths reread was in order. I remember originally loving the first two books, loving the third only a little bit less than that and finding the fourth a bit… forgettable. I was ( Read more... )

Last year I got caught unawares by sign-ups, so I wrote as much of this ahead of time as I could in the hopes of organizing my thoughts better. Belated apologies to whoever read through the sprawling mess that was my letter last year. O_o;;; I think I've done better this year, but there's still a lot of babble. Sorry about that ( Read more... )

I am done with my Yuletide nominations, finally. O_o;;; I was pretty happy with the idea of Island City, Jeremiah and Dark Visions, but then someone else went and nominated Dark Visions. Which was awesome, because it left me free to nominate something else, but... I choked. O_o;;; I had such trouble picking a third fandom that I almost didn't ( Read more... )

Well, I guess it is. The brainstorming post is already up for Yuletide.

And here's mineAnd wow, narrowing this down to three was hard. Hard as in "I haven't yet managed it." -.-;;; So I'm nowhere near ready for a pimp post yet, but last year Yuletide MAJORLY caught me with my pants down and I'm trying this new thing where I try not to let ( Read more... )

I'm sitting in the lab, proctoring yet another exam and I'm bored out of my skull. I'd like to write, but the problem is... I've had caffeine and it's made me really, really jittery, so I'm not managing to settle and work on one of the things I should work on ( Read more... )

OK. So, as I said, I'm not really doing NaNo because a) who has time? and b) I'm still afraid of burnout ( Read more... )

((ETA 10/20/13 12:47 PM -- OMG, author, I’m so sorry. I finally sat down to read this whole thing through and it was LITTERED with SPaG errors and sentences that didn't make sense and prompts and ideas which could have been worded MUCH better. I think I've caught most of the trouble spots now, if you want to give it a reread. Sorry, again! OTZ ( Read more... )

...how about a meme? ^_^

Stolen from tumblr for those few of you who don't follow me there:

Condensed the meme:

Send me the title of one of my stories and I’ll either give you a snippet from it or tell you about the sequel that may or may not ever get written.

You can also ask for trivia, headcanons or missing scenes.

This looks like fun and ( Read more... )
