Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! I’ve had a bit of time to recover from the end of Draft Four, and I’ve already heard back from a couple of friends that they loved it (the CPs have been curiously quiet…). I’ve been spending the week working on the synopsis and query, and although the synopsis is still […]

Happy Tuesday, Aledan Merfolk! I’ve had a whirlwind couple of weeks working on Speak the Ocean, and I’m happy to say that I finished Draft Four at lunch! Draft Four was by far the most difficult, because it included looking for all those little problem words I overuse while writing. Guess what my biggest problem

Happy Monday, Aledan Merfolk! I hope you had an excellent holiday weekend. The fireworks terrified the dogs as always, but the chickens didn’t seem to mind the noise. They ran around the whole weekend like tiny Mad Hatters at their own personal, insane tea party. Which is why this week’s custom pony is inspired by

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! And happy July, since I obviously missed all of June (but can you blame me, when I have new chickens taking up all my extra time?). June was a WriteMotivation month, and my goal was to finish StO. I did not finish StO, although I’m very close! I’ve been using the

Happy Sunday, Aledan Merfolk! If you’ve seen my post Becka’s Big Adventure, I’m sure you know by now that I’m a huge fan of the new Mad Max movie (I named my new chickens Mad Maxina and Imperator Furiosa, and when we get the third, she’ll be Immortan Josephine), so when several people sent me

Happy Monday, Aledan Merfolk! We’ve seen a lot of ocean-themed custom ponies lately because I’ve been editing my mermaid novel, Speak the Ocean, and today’s custom pony is no different. She’s an adorable newborn seapony, with amazing details around her eyes and crazy hair that I love. I usually love ponies with brushable hair, but

Happy Friday, Aledan Merfolk! I have an awesome cover reveal for you today, for the debut novel of my friend (and #writemotivation creator) K.T. Hanna. But first, let’s hear a little bit about the book, shall we? Chameleon (The Domino Project #1) is a YA futuristic science fiction story. It’s set in the wasteland of

Happy Monday, Aledan Merfolk! It’s been a couple weeks since you’ve heard from me, first because I was training a new girl at work and was brain-dead by the time I got home, and second because I was on vacation! It was full of whitewater rafting, bookstores, a St. Vincent concert, backyard chickens, and the

Happy Monday, Aledan Merfolk! We’re officially in the warm summer months here on the SC coast, so you can expect CotW to show up on Mondays when I’m busy at the pool or beach (and by “busy” I mean “doing nothing at all”). We’re still on the merpony kick around here because a) merponies are
