Two Star Wars posts in as many days? It's a record. Actually, I had a totally different post queued for today, but when I hopped onto Twitter for a minute yesterday to check something, I couldn't help but see this headline: ...and I busted out laughing. (Here's the link to the article, by the way.) … Continue reading Where the Star Wars hotel went wrong and what it means for creators

Has the Magic of Star Wars Been Lost?
*the Force Theme plays distantly in the background* Some of my earliest memories are of Obi-Wan and Anakin chasing a bounty hunter through Coruscant, Yoda riding on Luke's back, and Darth Maul wielding his dual-bladed lightsaber. With my older sister becoming thoroughly obsessed with Star Wars just after I was born, I grew up with … Continue reading Has the Magic of Star Wars Been Lost?

Takin’ a Break
Sometimes, you just need to take a break. And sometimes, the break comes to you. I don't have too much progress to report on Project Pea this week because there hasn't been much. I had a lot of things planned last week - a combination of Memorial Day, my birthday, and all of my teacher … Continue reading Takin’ a Break
Forked Tongue
No. 10/100 100-word short stories for my 100 follower celebration! I was suddenly glad that I hadn't cut my hair that morning as sweat trickled down the side of my face from my temple. The hunter’s gaze was unrelenting, but I swore to myself that I wouldn’t look away. “I told you,” I said, trying to … Continue reading Forked Tongue
Announcing My Next Book!

Reblog: The “Bread” and “Meat” of Writing by A Writer’s Path
It has taken me years and years of writing my own novels, stories and nonfiction, not to mention editing countless others’ manuscripts, to finally over time realize that there is such a thing as bread and meat in writing. What the hell am I talking about? Simple. I am constantly telling my book clients to […]The … Continue reading Reblog: The “Bread” and “Meat” of Writing by A Writer’s Path
How my cats singlehandedly gave me the idea for my current WIP…
27,300 words in a month. I'm one-third of the way through Project Pea - at least I think I am, if I'm right and it ends up being around 80k words - and I already can't believe I've gotten this far. If you've read some of my previous posts, you'll know that it's been a … Continue reading How my cats singlehandedly gave me the idea for my current WIP…
Goner
No. 9/100 100-word short stories for my 100 follower celebration! Happy Memorial Day! I knew what the mechanic would say before the words were out of her mouth. The slightly apologetic tilt of the eyebrows, the reservation in the eyes, the uncomfortable shifting of the arms… I’d seen it all too many times. “I’m sorry, she’s … Continue reading Goner
