That's not true, actually. Not where I'm concerned. You should all tell me your bad puns whenever they cross your mind. Seriously, they are my delight. I can't help it. I've got amazing taste. For example, while writing a fairly intense scene today, the word "banhammer" got stuck in my head. In internet communities, the … Continue reading Bad Puns Get You Banned
Published! And Exhausted!
My book is available on virtual shelves as we speak! I'm working out the kinks in the print version, and then the physical book will also be on virtual shelves! The future is awesome. Publishing was a process, let me tell you. I actually hit the button Wednesday in case it would take a couple … Continue reading Published! And Exhausted!
COVER REVEAL
I am freaking out over here. The cover is ready. Look at that. It is glorious, is it not? This is actually a sort of bad picture because WordPress does not like the full version I have and I was too excited to show you to change the format immediately. I'll update when I do! But … Continue reading COVER REVEAL
That’s a Wrap
Y'all. It's done.* I've edited this thing so hard that I know what sort of things cryptographers would find, if my book was used as a cipher. I've got the map plotted for if the clues left in the creases of the pages were somehow turned into a DaVinci Code style mystery. I've counted every single … Continue reading That’s a Wrap
How to Make Your Illustrator Cry (And why you shouldn’t)
In my head, art is magic. You concentrate really hard at a computer or canvas or piece of wood and then it miraculously becomes a finished product. It turns out that real life isn't quite like that. My friend and cover designer David Berg has had to explain physics to me about eight times since November. He's … Continue reading How to Make Your Illustrator Cry (And why you shouldn’t)
A Guide To Gift Guides
Chanukah has just passed, and Christmas is around the corner. Which means my social media is simply chock-full of gift guides and recipes for foods that are so bad for you that I'm proposing we start putting "exercises required to burn this back off" on the recipe as a heads up. If I want these snowflake-caramel-gingersnap-cheesecake-truffles, … Continue reading A Guide To Gift Guides
Feeding Frenzy: Chapter Five-ish
Book cover is well underway! I don't have an exact date yet, but we should be on schedule to release in January, 2016. So close! Chapter 5 It takes a while for Gregor to be able to get up close to me, what with the sudden run on people who want beer and to tell … Continue reading Feeding Frenzy: Chapter Five-ish
Feeding Frenzy: Chapter Four
Aaahhh!! December is trucking right along! So much to do! Did you know that traditionally Christmas falls in this month? What's that? You say that this is something you knew about, and prepared for? Well, aren't you on top of it! This is the first year I haven't had to contend with a school schedule … Continue reading Feeding Frenzy: Chapter Four
A Little Cheer
We're all influenced by the worlds around us. I have yet to meet anyone who has created entirely in a vacuum, though that might be interesting, too. I have a feeling, given the prevalence of the story, that they might end up re-re-re-re-re-making "Dances With Wolves" and I'd be thrilled with that, because I've liked that … Continue reading A Little Cheer
Feeding Frenzy: Chapter Three
Wherein: the basic concept of how monsters come about is explained, and Lia antagonizes her sister. See you next Sunday for the fourth installment! Chapter 3 Around ten o’clock we’re told that training is over and since we’re new, we can go home for the night. This is good news to me because the heeled … Continue reading Feeding Frenzy: Chapter Three
