I’m starting to think that I might be kind of weird. No, hear me out now. Really. Last night I was writing some Fie Eoin, because I sorta, kinda, am really in love with it, and I realized that I always look at Fie Eoin from the southeast. Whenever I see Fie Eoin in my […]

10. What are some really weird situations your characters have been in? Holly was attacked by a giant cat with a spiny tail and a distorted version of her own face. This was after she saw the mouse wearing pants run away with a piece of bread in its hands, but before Phooka the Dog

7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters? I listen to music while I do everything. Drive, work, eat, write. Music was my first love, and I love just about all types of music (not so much heavy metal or rap

Last weekend was Easter, and I wasn’t able to get a sticky up. I apologize. This weekend’s sticky comes from a National Geographic article arguing that the water stored in dams and reservoirs is keeping sea levels from rising at the normal rate. This, in turn, is causing faulty data about the actual amount of water available to
Forgive me for not getting this up yesterday. I was in the process of extirpating all of my insides via my throat and couldn’t find time to remove myself from the bathroom and make it into the computer room. And speaking of feeling as if you are going to die all day, we have another
This is a fun sticky with two different stories on it. The top half of the sticky is talking about Lane’s Girl, where I’ve been trying to decide where to start. I thought of writing the first scene where Rebecca dies as the prologue, and then jumping back to tell the story of her and
Today we are really mixing it up. Today we get a sticky note from After Ancient – 07’s disaster of a Nano novel. I went into this one with only a short blurb about the world and a vague idea of a train wreck, a bad guy modeled after someone I worked with, a doctor,
