Today’s sticky is not actually from a story that I have written, but is a note I jotted down because I thought it was interesting. I subscribe to American Scientist’s Science In The News Weekly, and every week they send me an email full of interesting stories published during the week. This past week […]
To celebrate the 30th sticky on the SNS blog, I have chosen a star-shaped sticky just for today. I keep these little star stickies in my purse – they were a gift from a friend – and whenever I get an idea I jot it down on a star. I tend to also jot a
Today I was planning on putting up a sticky that I wrote in Key West last week – which is why I didn’t get a sticky up last weekend – but as it turns out Key West is much too relaxing to write anything, even stickies. Instead I bring you a sticky I wrote at work the week
Today’s stickies are all from Fie Eoin, and they are on very small stickies this week. I changed jobs recently (well, I changed areas of the lab I work in – I’m still with the same company) and all I could find were these tiny stickies for the first couple weeks of the new job.

I must apologize for not putting up a sticky last week, but I have a good excuse. As you might recall from the week before, I mentioned going to play with my new puppy. Meet my new puppy, Hops: She feels bad for making you wait, but she demands to be taken to the dog park
This sticky may look familiar. In fact, it is the same sticky that I put up last week, but with a few additions. I said that these were the last dozen or so scenes from the book, and I was crossing them out as I wrote them. I’m happy to say that on Thursday Night
A lot of times I storyline way ahead of where I’m actually writing. In this case, I like to write down all of my scenes that I know are coming up so that I don’t forget to write them, or forget what order they are in. As I write them, I cross them off the
If you know me at all, or have read back at all in this blog, you will know that I cannot stay away from Fie Eoin for too long. Even the day before NaNo started this past year and I should have been working on Phooka Tales I was instead storylining Fie Eoin. Most of
