Happy December everyone! I am very proud to announce that I not only won NaNoWriMo by writing 50,000 words in November, but I finished Apollo and Daphne at just over 65,000 words on November 30th! I also managed to be the Municipal Liaison for the Charleston Region, so not only did I write a novel, but […]
Happy Halloween! I know last week I said I would see you in December, but I had one last sticky to sneak in before November came around. I’ve done all my cleaning for the month (I washed the floors AND the bathrooms!), and I’ve finally gotten a decent amount of sleep to start the month
I’ve been pretty bad the past few weeks about putting up stickies. The first weekend I missed I was in Washington DC visiting my little sister and my new brother-in-law, and after that NaNoWriMo got in the way. What’s that, you say? NaNo is in November? Not if you’re an ML like I happen to be
Happy Feast of Eoin! Today is the feast dedicated to Fie Eoin’s war god, Eoin, and the day that new warriors are inducted.

I don’t know what it is about autumn, but as soon as the temperatures begin to cool down (and cool here is around eighty-five degrees) I get very creative. Maybe it’s the upcoming NaNo, or maybe it’s the body’s natural response to the coming winter where everyone stays indoors for long periods of time. Either
I’ve been splitting my time lately between Fie Eoin and Phooka Tales. With another NaNoWriMo almost upon us I’ve finally let Phooka Tales sit long enough to go back and start editing (and sometimes I just have days where I want a little Brett in my life), but Fie Eoin is my first baby
So perhaps you have noticed my distinct lack of posting for the past two weeks, and my sudden reappearance with not only a star sticky, but a star sticky about weddings. You know what star stickies mean around here – it means something awesome has happened. And it just so happens that my awesome little
I am happy to say that I did not come up with anymore NaNo ideas this past week, so I will still be working on Apollo and Daphne in November (as of right this moment, which may change). I’m trying to work different parts of the myths in, including the part about Daphne turning
So, remember last weekend when I said I had found my next NaNo Novel idea? I found two more this week. One is an idea I’ve been cultivating since my first NaNo back in 2005. The main character is a pretty quiet guy, so I ended up writing Lane’s Girl instead, just because I couldn’t
The other weekend when I was writing the Writing Prompt Challenge I had this really strange dream about travelling to other worlds (well, only one other world), which isn’t all that odd considering how big a fan I am of Stephen King’s Dark Tower Series. But it wasn’t in the vein of the Dark Tower
