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
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
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
It’s another really long sticky for this weekend, in part to celebrate the 4th of July. And for the 4th, Daphne – of Ask Daphne fame – held a writing-prompt contest. The three prompts were: – I didn’t expect to actually go swimming… – As American as apple pie… – The heat from the grill made

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
It’s a little late in the day, but I did say I would be posting again starting in January – and gosh darn it, it’s January! I know, how did that happen already? The first sticky of this year (the first sticky in almost a year, in fact) comes from Phooka Tales, my Nano-Novel from
If you’ve read the About Me page, or been to the website, www.stickynotestories.com, you know that I work in a radiochemistry lab. We were just starting to receive samples from England this past fall when I came up with this week’s sticky note story, Phooka Tales. It’s about a girl who works in a
