This is What Mental Illness Looks Like
This is what mental illness looks like: I am not ashamed. I have Bipolar disorder (or depression depending on which of my many psychiatrists you ask.) My disorder is not a secret. I don’t hide it from friends and family, but neither do I broadcast it. That doesn’t mean I’m ashamed. Someone with a physical … Continue reading This is What Mental Illness Looks Like
NEWS! Giveaway, Anthology and Parties
August is shaping up to be a busy month for me. On a personal level, I get to go back to school shopping for the first time, try to get the kiddo to his next day camp, and try to get him to see his grandmother before summer is over. But no one wants to … Continue reading NEWS! Giveaway, Anthology and Parties
Wattpad Summer Blockparty III
As I approach another promotional event with the other wonderful writers on Wattpad, I realize I never shared on my blog that I was part of the Winter Block Party...let alone that I was intending to revisit the experience in summer. This is a lovely event where a ton of authors band together and support … Continue reading Wattpad Summer Blockparty III
Accepting a Knife to the Kidneys (With a Smile)
Taking a knife to the kidneys with grace is an art form. And by knife to the kidneys I mean, of course, taking a critique. I’ve ranted before on the different type of critiquers and how some of them honestly just aren’t helpful and I still believe that. Critiquing is an art that’s learned, (a … Continue reading Accepting a Knife to the Kidneys (With a Smile)
Halloweeeeeen is coming
Suddenly life got insanely busy 🙂 Over the past few weeks, I finally figured out where to go with the sequel to my novel and finished the first draft. On the opposite side, I got a few of my short stories in condition to start sending out and *crossed fingers* maybe not only get rejections. … Continue reading Halloweeeeeen is coming
Covers, Covers, Covers (and a dose of Nano)
I despise making covers. Hate it. Seriously. Anyhow... for my nano novel this year I'm planning to do the second book in a series. The first book being Spider's Game. The upcoming book is Spider's Gambit. Its all outlined (as much as I ever outline). Now I'm starting the part I like least. Making myself … Continue reading Covers, Covers, Covers (and a dose of Nano)
Family & A Tiny Terror
This week has been a scramble and I admit, I’m not entirely prepared to blog. Things with the family have just been so busy. My dog needed surgery (which in Seattle is unaffordable. I had to go down to Oregon) and before that it was camping. Not only have I not thought through an adequate … Continue reading Family & A Tiny Terror
The Lost Path, Found
https://youtu.be/xo1VInw-SKc I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to give up. As an author, as a girlfriend, as a student, as an employee…it’s the same urge. Just bone-aching tiredness inside and knowing that I’ll never get to what I want. Even if I got there, the goal would move and leave me grasping. … Continue reading The Lost Path, Found
I Put Words on Paper (or Computers) so I Write Words
A question I’ve been hearing a lot of recently is “So what do you normally write? What is your passion?” My auto response has been that I write science fiction with an eye to fantasy, but the more I think about it, the more that isn’t true. The truth is I write a lot and … Continue reading I Put Words on Paper (or Computers) so I Write Words
