So I’ve seen this going around the Blogosphere and, after reading about it, decided to join in! Basically it’s a way for writers/authors/in the biz etc to expand their contacts and help promote each other. I mean, how cool and handy is that? There’s also challenges and prizes to be had in your groups. Sign…
It’s in my dreaaaams. I’ve been having one of those months, dear readers. You know, the kind of month where nothing is good enough and you’re convinced that you’re going to fail at everything and OH MY GOD WHY DO YOU EVEN TRY?? JEEZ. Yeah, that’s me. Editing. And reading. Doing both at the same…
This picture is amazing. Since posting my intentions last week I’ve received some queries from friends / random strangers (don’t you love how blogs work?) asking me why I plan to self-publish first before even trying to get published the old fashioned way…which is submitting my works to various (fantasy) publishers and crossing my fingers…
Well it’s been about a month since I’ve come to Japan. The first two weeks were so intensely busy with training for my new job that there was absolutely no time to write / edit / etc! Not even on the short story I’m working on! Meh! Then two weeks ago I moved into my…

This is not an accurate rendering… 15. Midway question! Tell us about a writer you admire, whether professional or not! Oh God, I don’t even know. Just to say I admire a writer does not necessarily mean I LIKE them or even READ them, right? Well, believe it or not, there are definitely more writers…
OMGLOOKATITSOCUTE. 4. Tell us about one of your first stories/characters! I wrote my first “novel” when I was six years old. Yes, this insanity goes back that far. This is back when I literally cut pieces of paper in half and handwrote on them so I could make them into a legit “book”. I would…
By some swing of the cosmos I made it to a public library today. (Okay, so I had to go get a haircut and this is where I wait for my ride to get off work.) Everytime I come to a library I feel very nostalgic, since when I was a child I practically read…
