And I can say that honestly. I shipped the last half of Knight off to betas this morning. It’s not perfect and there are a few chapters that haven’t gotten the attention they deserve (mostly because they come at a part of the story where I’m already emotionally exhausted), but it’s pretty much in...
I’m on chapter 18 of 22 now–harder to get stuff done when you have to work all day. On the bright side, the first half has gone to betas and I’ll be sending the last half on the weekend. Knight has officially passed the 90,000 word mark, which scares me a little. It’s a...
I’m nose to the grindstone, getting Knight ready to go out to betas at the end of this weekend, so I’m going to be pretty absent from everywhere until I can click send. I have to say, my critique group has been invaluable in both smoothing out and catching issues, but also in showing...
You know, that moment when you take the new squeeze out and all your friends come to inspect the goods? And there’s always that one friend that feels that they have to make sure of the new squeeze’s intentions, like it was the 1850’s and you’re some virginal young thing without a brain cell...
Oops! I almost forgot! I’ve had my head down, added 4000 words today (We’re past 80,000 now), and only just realized what time it was. Slightly longer section this week. We meet Michael again, and one of Ross’ coworkers, Marie. “Is that him? He’s cute.” Marie nodded at the big glass doors, where Ross...
If you’ve never seen this,it’s a really neat idea. Basically, if you are a member of the group, for the next two weeks you can request a story to be written especially for you. You go through their photo album, or post your own preferred image, then post a request for a writer to...
I’ve never introduced the bad guy in Knight. He makes my skin crawl and I have to go wash after I write scenes with him in them. Ross came to an abrupt halt two houses up the street from his apartment. Michael was sitting on the step, a bunch of flowers in his hand—blue...
I’m almost finished Knight. You’d think I’d have a sense of accomplishment. But mostly what I feel is: 1. Fatigue: I could curl up in a corner and sleep right now. Even the corner by the litter box. I am that wrung out. 😯 2. Frustration: I can’t see the forest for the trees...
I knew, someday, I would turn on the computer and see something like this (click on the picture to see where you can buy this). But it’s ok, really, because then I found this: I mean, who doesn’t want Bill Murray on their wall in full Napoleonic gear? (I think it’s...
Real life and some recalcitrant characters played hob with MC Hana’s intention to join the VIB blog hop, but she’s finally wrangled her men into some sort of order and dug out from the snow. So here’s her random Bunch o’ Facts About MC. Last week, we saw John’s sister-in-law’s reaction to John’s piercings....
