No prompt today. I’ve been working on the Superhero story quite a bit. While working on it, I’ve been doing a kind of character exercises over on Bluesky (follow me there to see those). That’s sort of helped me connect with a few of the characters who may be feeling the most lost in the... Continue Reading →
I’ve learned, over the years, that the most common questions authors get asked is “what are you working on”. In fact, I did an event this past weekend and was asked that question multiple times! I have tackled this question in the past: In July of 2019, I had 5 completed drafts (only one of... Continue Reading →
Happy September, everyone. I’m not sure about all of you but, around here, we’re looking forward to (hopefully) cooler weather, pumpkin spiced everything, and lots of good vibes. But, that’s not what I’m looking at today. Today I’m looking at my August progress and seeing how it’s looking relative to the entire year. I had... Continue Reading →
I have a new active WIP. This is always big news around the blog because I’m forever in the middle of multiple projects, most of which you already know about. So when I have a brand new active WIP it’s always nice to be able to talk about it. I’ve said before that my process... Continue Reading →
As you probably know, I’ve been challenging myself to write a poem a month in 2025. I’ve been using a lot of prompts to get myself in the right mindset (because otherwise I’d spend entirely too much of my writing time trying to come up with a topic, this speeds things up). I know it’s... Continue Reading →
Hi everyone! If you’ve been following along all year, you already know what time it is … it’s time to look at my goals and my July progress. First up, let’s all remember the goals from January 1 for this year. This is a big list so each month I have microfocuses so that I’m... Continue Reading →
As you probably know, I've been challenging myself to write at least one poem a month in 2025. I've noticed some months take me longer and longer to find the inspiration for the poems or to get in the right mindset for a poem. Poetry prompts have really helped! So, today, being that it's the... Continue Reading →
If you’re a long time reader of the blog you’ll already know this, but I’m a HUGE reader. Since I moved my review content to alltherightreads.com you may have missed it if you’re new. It’s always funny to meet people in real life that know me from the blog and have been following the journey... Continue Reading →
Before I start, a disclaimer (aka excuses): June is ALWAYS less productive for me than usual. I am choosing to blame the teenager being home from school and the HEAT for these problems. Also, this year, I have the added stress of that massive 2025 reading goal (more on that in a bit) hanging over... Continue Reading →
Ok, this time I actually forgot! I was looking at the wrap up for June, sort of regretting how much I struggled this month, and saw that I haven’t done the poem! Never fear, this all happened on the 30th … which means I haven’t failed YET! Quick, a prompt idea (making this one up... Continue Reading →
