NaNo Update: Week 3

I hate to say it, but I’ve abandoned my novella for the time being. I’ve never been able to just take a sliver of an idea and just write, like some writers I know (and admire). I like to let ideas percolate and develop. And with the time crunch (writing upwards of 20000 words, editing,Continue reading “NaNo Update: Week 3”

NaNo 2016: Week 1

It’s November 5 and National Novel Writing Month is in full swing. My project for the month (which has the oh-so-creative working title of The Dancer) is coming along pretty well.

A Brief Word

Sorry. It’s both a brief word and applicable to this situation. I know I said I was going to come back after November was over. But I’m going to take an extra two weeks. I hate to be a lying liar whose pants may or may not combust spontaneously, but I have finals next weekContinue reading “A Brief Word”

Birthday Bylines

Here are some pictures of my bylines! And another story I wrote is up on their website! All inContinue reading “Birthday Bylines”
