Last year I asked everybody what should be on our NaNoWriMo playlist. And boy, did I get answers! Like 143 of them. I’m going to repost that list for this year, and invite you to contribute your favorite writing songs, as well! Let me know what you think we’re missing out on, and I’ll add [...]

Gardner Goldsmith Interviews Me on the Liberty Conspiracy
Posted in Writing, tagged Gardner Goldsmith, interview, Liberty Conspiracy Podcast, writing with kids on October 29, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I met this darling man at KillerCon last year, but we didn’t have a chance to really talk until this year’s KillerCon, and he quickly became a highlight. If you haven’t had the chance to meet the intelligent and wildly entertainingly Gardner Goldsmith, you’re missing out. He’s genuinely one of the good guys, and he’s a [...]

It’s that time of year again! *trills* Time where we live on nothing but caffeine and leftover Halloween candy while pounding out 50,000 words in 30 days. It’s time for NaNoWriMo. This will be my fifth year participating in NaNo. Last year I wondered if it would be my last NaNoWriMo, but earlier this year I decided [...]

In order to keep their new romance on the down-low, Mercedes M. Yardley and Hint Fiction try to avoid the papparazzi. Robert Swartwood, the editor of Hint Fiction, asked all of the contributors to take a picture of themselves with the book and submit it to the Hint Fiction page on Facebook. This is mine. [...]
Word Count Podcast
Posted in Writing, tagged Aaron Polson, podcast, reading on October 20, 2010 | 6 Comments »
I’m currently writing you while wearing headphones and listening to some awesome poetry on RB Wood’s Word Count podcast. I love hearing writers read their own work. I love hearing how they pronounce things, how they hold their breaths and which words they choose to leave in their mouths. There’s such an intimacy to it. [...]

So a while ago I entered a timed flash fiction contest for the Las Vegas Book Festival. I entered it with my writer’s group, and believe me, we were talking smack! Who would beat who, yadda yadda yadda. The friendly fur was particularly flying between Mason (@AtlasTakesAim) and I. We were each going to place [...]

WIP Wednesday: A HA! Sorta.

Remember how I was going to have my Williams Project all put together with two new chapters written by today? If I did it, Ryan Bridger aka Battle bunny has to write a song that Mason aka Head Wombat will record. If I don’t do it, then the book is “officially” written by Ryan Bridger. [...]
30 Days of Writing: Favorite Project
Posted in Writing, tagged 30 days meme, favorite project, I could talk writing all day and all night and then all day again on October 8, 2010 | 9 Comments »
Question #1 is: Tell us about your favorite writing project/universe that you’ve worked with and why. Tough question! It’s difficult because my favorite writing projects change according to what I’m working on. My first novel was my favorite for a looooong time. It was the most fun that I had ever had. I didn’t carefully [...]
