...And Stuff

Whelp...

I'm behind in my word count goals for my current WIP by...pretty much the whole book.  This one's taking a little longer than I had planned.  The authorial end of the summer slump I guess.

Also, apparently, there's a summer slump, which I am feeling most keenly.

So...any book buying you guys want to do would be most appreciated.  You know...if you want to. ;P

Look!  I've got THREE whole books to choose from!  Three!



And they're all good.  So I've been told ;P  Snowed In (Book One) is $0.99 to get you started.

Anyway, I still don't have a release date for the current WIP.  I was hoping for the end of Aug, but now...not so sure.  I'll keep everyone updated on that, though.

 Random Thoughts:

  • I need to figure out how get the bread I've been making to rise a second time (trying to do sandwich bread; rises the first time, second time...not so much).  Going to try a different recipe next time...
  • I'm considering doing a Writing Tip Wednesday type deal...maybe spice the joint up a bit.  Actually post stuff...you know.  I'm not exactly super successful (yet! ;P ) but I do know some stuff about writing that you guys might want to know...
  • Had ice cream for lunch.  It's that hot right now.

Terrible Minds Flash Fiction Challenge - Strange Photos

Thought I'd have a go at one of these.   Challenge was to search "Strange Photos" and pick one, write 1000 (or 1146, in this case) or so words of whatever comes to mind because of it.  My dip into the 'strange photos' section of Google Images dumped me right in the lap of the Merrilyn Cryptid Museum  which is full of the apparently re-discovered remains of various mythological creatures, all preserved and displayed all scientific and stuff. Anyway, here is... dun dun dun... The Collector Photo Credit: Alex CF 2016 In the basement, the boxes lie. A rustling of parchment.  Flicker of the gas lamps.  Scratching of nib against paper.  But otherwise, silence.  And a forest of boxes. The man at the desk put down his pen and blotted the ink.  He surveyed his handiwork, double checking for mistakes.  There were none, so he spread a layer of paste in the appropriate space and pressed the label into it: Homomimus Alatus (Common Fae) Abov

Writing Tip Wednesday

Weekly Disclaimer Thing :  Writing, like all art, is a subjective experience.  Stuff that works for me won't necessarily work for you...though I hope it does, since I'd love for everyone to succeed.  Can never have enough books to read!  Either way, take these tips with the giant grain of salt needed to season it to your liking, since I could very well be talking out my ass. So, last week was a little bit about Fiddling, and the bare bones of my editing process.  This week will be...Outlining.  (Dun dun duuuuun!) I know people hate outlining.  It can be frustrating.  But you really should outline your stories.  Really.  Even if you're a born Pantser, you should still outline just a little bit.  It makes things so much faster . Which reminds me, I really need to re-outline my current WIP, since I'm getting lost in the middle. And that's the thing - the outline can change.  If you're in the middle of writing what you've faithfully plot

Miscellaneous Monday

Miscellaneous Monday Wherein I Babble About Random Things THE BOOKS HAVE GONE WIDE! Well, at least two of them have.  The third is still waiting out its term in KU, but as soon as that's done...Woo!  So, Snowed In  and Smoked Out  are both available on multiple platforms now!  Including Kobo SUPER PRETTY LINKS: Snowed In Smoked Out So yeah.  Check them out, if you want.  They're both still available on Amazon, of course, as paperbacks as well. Cherry Update I've washed, pitted, bagged and frozen...40 cups of cherries so far.  Which is approximately 10 L of them.  I'll use about 4cups/batch of whatever it is I'm making (jam or pie filling or whathaveyou), so I'll have a lot of canning to do.  Especially since I've still got another ~10L left to pit. And apples to pick. Speaking of jam, I used the raspberries from the garden and some blueberries from the store to make jam today.  I friggin love the colour: Yes, I know my c
