Goodmorning me dearest reader. I wrote a 2,000 word post this morning and have broken it into four 500-word parts for easy digestion. The goal of this…monologue is presented in Part #4, which you are welcome to skip to. Part’s #1, #2, and #3 are just exploratory dialogue to help me get to what I […]

I just finished the edits on Dolor and Shadow! *THROWS CONFETTI* I am currently working with my editor and illustrator on the final blurb, dimensions, and format to upload to Smashwords and Kindle. I also have to set up Amazon for the paper back edition! So excited! Today will be dedicated to the final formatting […]
Linguistics over breakfast
I am working on edits this morning and found a bit of a research issue I have to go back on. I figured I would walk you through my process. The line is: Gudrun eased her grip on the Seidr staff. My editor wants me to change this to Gudrun eased her grip on the […]
Update on Dolor and Shadow #4
I just finished editing a grueling chapter. Not hard, just tedious. I am getting ready to start Chapter 57 of 66, but I feel the “Slush Brain” setting in. I am grabbing lunch before I finish this up to recharge and postpone the Slush Brain! I adore this part of Dolor and Shadow because it […]
Exploring Genre
Okay, so it’s 10:36 and I haven’t touched Dolor and Shadow yet, but it’s my birthday! I’m allowed to blow off work today if I want. I have so much yummy things happening and I’m just so excited! First, I found this yesterday on Twitter. It’s paranormal romance. I read every genre and LOVE […]
Another One Bites The Dust
“Another One Bites The Dust” by Queen because I love Freddy Mercury Hello, Mina! …and for those of you who do not speak Japanese, “mina” means “everyone.” I watch a lot of anime. Currently I am working my way through One Piece, Naruto Shippuden, and Hunter X Hunter. So I just wrapped up Chapter 52 […]
Self Appreciation Day
I’m eating my lunch and hanging out. Feel like writing free form before I return to edits. I am eating a peanut butter sandwich (no jelly) on whole grain bread with kettle corn and a wine glass of milk…all the regular glasses are in the dishwasher. Besides…this makes me feel classy. Oh…and I’m playing Avenged […]
Update on Dolor and Shadow #3
It’s 12:48 in the afternoon and I’m eating a cow tale. I just finished Chapter 50 of my edits (that’s 50 out of 66) and am getting ready to take a break. By “take a break,” I mean do laundry, eat a sandwich, and day dream about Lorlenalin’s Lies. In the meantime, here is Avenged […]
Update on Dolor and Shadow #2
I made it to the end of Chapter 37 today! So thrilled. The edits are going great. I’ll be starting with Chapter 38 at 7 in the AM first thing. For now I am off. I will leave you with a little piece by Bergen I found in Dolor and Shadow. Had to share. “From […]
Update on Dolor and Shadow #1
I feel like music today. Here is “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by Twisted Sisters. Dolor and Shadow has 66 chapters. I am pleased to announce that after four hours of corrections, I just finished up with Chapter 20. This means, if my pacing continues—and it looks like it will—I will have the manuscript completed […]
