1. Tell us about your favorite writing project/universe that you’ve worked with and why. Can you guess it? Can you? I bet you can. Don’t look at the tags. You guessed Fie Eoin, right? Wrong. I love Fie Eoin, and working on it feels like going home to me, but it’s not my favorite. It’s […]
Writing Meme, Day One Read More »
Oh, guys. I’ve broken down and made myself a Twitter account. I thought this would be a good time to do it, because now I can post each question to next month’s Writing Meme each day, with a link to the blog for the answers. Now I just have to remember to update Twitter everyday
I figured that since you might be seeing the characters from the Top Secret Project in next month’s writing meme, I would tell you a little bit about them, without giving the book away. You already know a little about TSP. If you were paying attention a few weeks back you know it has to

After Ancient is one of those great ideas for a sweeping, grand story that got too big for me to handle. I have confidence that someday I will be able to tackle it again and whip it into shape, but for now it’s a half-written, scattered-scene mess. The idea behind After Ancient is that in

You should all know almost as much about Phooka Tales as you do about Fie Eoin by now, since it deals very closely with my own past work situation and the main character is probably as close to me as you can get. Self insertion? Yes. Mary Sue? Not by a mile. Holly Thompson has
“A warrior fighting for her sister’s freedom must choose between saving her sister or their tribe when the chief’s betrayal runs deeper than she imagined.” As you can tell from reading almost any post in this blog, Fie Eoin is my baby. I started working on it during the summer of 2002 while I was

I don’t talk about Lane’s Girl or the Rebecca Stories on here much, and that’s because I have realized that they are irrevocably Dark Tower fanfiction. Which is sad, really, because I’ve taken what was fanfic and built it up into it’s own nice little world and put in some fantastic characters and situations that

After two warm weekends in a row I have realized that it is going to be impossible to continue putting up stickies on Sundays, and so I’m going to try to put them up in the middle of the week instead. I’m also going to start posting more non-sticky posts, in an effort to keep
So, today’s sticky may seem a little boring (aside from the bottom of it that talks about Holidays), but it actually is a very important part of Phooka Tales. I’m working on editing Phooka Tales this year, and the majority of the story is based on my making my main character’s life as horrible
