I need a Dean Winchester icon for that subject line. Anybody got a saucy one for me?

Anyway, as is my grand tradition when I actually finish something, I like to share the music that I listened to while I was working on the rough draft. Music is incredibly important to me in ( Read more... )

And holy crap, is it ever short. Even the tragically short-falling Street Magic got to 67,000 and change in the first draft. HOWEVER! I do have much adding to do. Hopefully, it will be 17,000 words of adding.

But damn. I finished the manuscript, and a day early! Those of ( Read more... )

Two chapters to go in Death Wish, and the climax is, er, climaxing. I’m also starting to see all of the things I didn’t think of when I wrote the outline, that really need to be in there, because otherwise the story makes zero sense. I’ve started keeping a list of bullet points ( Read more... )

Rejoice, peasants. I’m back.

I had a great weekend with my friend Sara, who came up from NYC.  I’ve known Sara since I was about 15 years old, and she’s the only person who gets every single one of my dorktastic pop culture jokes.  We had far too much fun eating, shopping and ( Read more... )

Night Owl Romance compares Night Life favorably to Supernatural.  My life is now complete.

My good friend Kat Richardson reviews Night Life for Writers are Readers and says nice things.

So.  I’m going to be taking a break on projects until Monday.  I’m worn out.  I have four ( Read more... )

My mom and I were listening to a radio station in Seattle on iTunes and playing that “name the tune” game to see who could do it the fastest. I lost when I misidentified ‘Photograph’ by Def Leppard as a “Some damn Van Halen thing”. I will now hang my head in shame. Also, the ( Read more... )

She liked Night Life. I think.

FreshFiction also enjoyed themselves.

Armchair Interviews gives a cool in-depth review but warns about the Sexxin’ and Violencein’. I forget that most people don’t have my sky-high gore tolerance. Seriously, folks, there’s nothing in Night Life ( Read more... )

I love Death Wish.  It’s such a weird little story, but it fits together so well.  I’m sure I’ll hate it again before I type THE END.  So it goes.

I have business cards! They’re shiny (quite literally. The front is a glossy version of the Night Life cover.) But that’s not the most important thing on my mind today. Nooo. I need a nickname for a character.

Full disclosure: this is for a project on spec. I may or may not ( Read more... )

I’m single, I hate commercial holidays and I spent the day in NYC doing publishing stuff.  Totally did not care…but today…different story.

Two projects hit 50k today…I know it’s silly, but I tend to think of 50k as my “safe” zone.  I’ve never orphaned a project, except one, once ( Read more... )
