So this post is long overdue, but after my recent Scarred Beauty revision marathon, I needed a break from words. I've still been reading, (determined to finally finish Stephen King's It) and sketching, etc. But I had to take a break from words I write. Tonight, I'm getting back in the saddle again, starting with... Continue Reading →
Sketching Wylder Tales
After my recent Scarred Beauty revision marathon, I needed a break from words I write. I've still been reading, (determined to finally finish Stephen King's It) and sketching, etc. While I work on my super blog post of writerly rambling about Scarred Beauty, I thought I'd share some art teasers instead.

Revisions
Today I completed the much needed spelling / grammar check of Moonlight, my adult romance novel. Believe you and me, there was plenty to adjust.

A lot of this sudden increase in productivity is thanks to my baby being old enough to sleep through the night (we are still working on that, lol) Those nightly hours after we put him to sleep have...

"I can tell you generally that when treating with magic in fantasy, you have to keep it magical. Many fantasy writers work out these detailed systems, and rules, and I think that's a mistake. For magic to be effective in literary sense, it has to be unknowable and strange and dangerous, with forces that can't... Continue Reading →
