I was invited by the fabulous Jodi Redford (seriously, y’all, she’s fabulous. If our Facebook convos don’t convince you of her awesomeness, I’ll take a long blink in a room with the Weeping Angels. Ooh. That reminds me… *pops in next ep of Doctor Who*) to share a little about my writing process. So. I […]
Look at that. July 1st. The kids are out of school and a new Camp NaNo is starting today. I’m not going to pull any punches: I love the various NaNoWriMo events that take place throughout the year. It’s inspiring to know that thousands of other people are writing right along with you. I’m taking […]
April is coming to a close and I’m here to report on what I accomplished for Camp NaNo! As a refresher, at the beginning of the month, I set out to write 50K words. Boom! Done! Yep, I wrote a grand total of 50,154 words spread out over 5 different projects. Might I just say […]
As y’all may have picked up, I love boner jokes and NaNoWriMo. And tentacles. And werewolves. And minotaurs. Joy of joys, I can participate in Camp NaNo WHILE telling boner jokes. And writing about tentacles. And werewolves. And minotaurs. Even, be still my beating heart, ZOMBIES! Yep, I’m going to split my time this April […]
About a month ago I joined a writing accountability group. Basically, I meet once a week with several other writers and we set goals and celebrate victories as we work our way through our different projects. This has been a HUGE help for me because it’s given me the push I need to get some […]

I have a confession to make… I never thought I was good at writing short stories. I’m talking more about length than writing prowess. It always seemed like my brain tried to go big and add layers to what should be something short and sweet. So the short story becomes longer and longer and suddenly […]
In Monster Research part 1, I talked a little about how I came up with the monster for The Wicked Woods. Monsters are great but y’all really want to know about the monster cocks, don’t you? That’s cool. Because I have research for that. (Kinda. I have a process for researching. Oh, you’ll see.) The […]
While in the middle of writing book 3 in the Monstrous tales series, I told my accountability partner “The best part (about writing this series) is the ‘research’ I do to decide what the cock is going to look like.” We giggled a bit over that but it got me thinking — I did do […]
Since this is the last Tuesday of the month (and I arbitrarily decided I should punch my word count in the junk), I thought I’d take a minute to update y’all on what happens when the muse grabs you by the throat and bellows at you to WRITE THIS STORY NOW as it shakes you […]
