From waaaaay back in Throne in the Dark which isn't way back for anybody but me because it isn't out yet! It started raining last night, and I don't think it's supposed to stop. Maybe ever. Which would probably be just fine since it's so pleasant. The bunnies are even out hopping in it! We've… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: As A
I posted lots of other stuff yesterday when it was actually #1LineWed, so here's this week's line that's actually three because I have no self control. Speaking of no self control...I got clean line art back from the artist doing my illustrated covers for the next series, and I asked her permission to share some… Continue reading The Sneakiest Peek and A Line
I didn't keep up with #FantasyIndiesMay and I've missed some #FantasyIndiesJune, but I do have some posts from Twitter I thought might be good to share here. At this rate, you might be able to read the entirety of this trilogy through posts! Just kidding, not really, but I do hope these entice you to… Continue reading More Fantasy Indie Posts
Today's my 13 year WordPress anniversary. Wild. I don't think I have blogs going back that far here, but I've been using this account on WordPress for at least that long. And let me tell you, 2009 was a very different time on the internet. Now, I don't want to do a "back in the… Continue reading Blogaversary
I mean, villains arguing about moral superiority is a little like arguing about sophistication, right? Also, my newsletter came out today. Check it out!
I'm in a great mood this morning, and I'm doing #FantasyIndiesJune on Twitter (I did okay-ish in May), and I've probably already shared this quote before, but I'm doing it again. My view on these lines from Howl's Moving Castle are steeped in an overall feminist reading (sorry, not sorry, can't help it). This could… Continue reading A Little Inspiration
I can't believe I didn't blog about this right away, but it was very much like one of those dreams that make you feel hazy and floaty when you wake up like you know it didn't really happen but you have all the emotions like it did, except this was real. So. Words. They're hard.… Continue reading I Saw Neil Gaiman Speak
I finished the big edit of Throne in the Dark yesterday and sent the final act off to my critique partner. The manuscript still needs work, as always, but it's so much closer now, and this is perhaps the most eager I've ever been to get a book out into the world. Today's #1linewed comes… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: Attempt
Enemies to lovers, ~375k words, give or take...
I didn't really love any of my lines with "double" in them to stand on their own, so I went with "twice" instead today. Also I hate the word "slough," but I use it because it's so visceral and gross. Ah, the sacrifices I make for my art.
