    Almost There… Part II

    I was watching a lot of old Twilight Zone episodes when I got the idea for this story, so I’m hoping it has that type of feel. Once the overall story is done, I will rewrite and polish it, flesh it out a little more, but for now it’s just a rough, as-it-is draft.

    Commitment Report 2010: Vol-III

    Guys, I have to tell you that getting back into Running Down the Moon has been really hard. In fact, I remembered as I sat down to write last night why it was so easy to walk away from the story when holiday travel mayhem set in back in November. I hit a bit of [...]

    Commitment Report 2010: Vol-II

    In truth, there is nothing more motivational than rejection. Sure, many of us sink into defeat, maybe throw a fit or two and possibly even refuse to submit our work ever again just to avoid ever feeling like a failure again. I’ve blogged about rejection a lot over the last year and a half because [...]

    Commitment Report 2010: Vol-I

    Over the last couple days, I’ve thought a lot about passion. In order to continually write, day in and day out, whether it be fiction, poetry or one of the many freelance jobs I juggle, it takes a huge amount of passion. One of the jobs I work for, a job which I’ve come to [...]

    We Could All Learn something from this...

    Or what if that one time Winona Ryder got caught stealing, and she was arrested with a copy of your book hanging out of her trenchcoat pocket… or better yet, she was stealing your novel in triplicate from [...]

    I Freelance and You Can Help…

    Those of you who know me or have been following my blog already know that I earn 100% of my income freelance writing. That means I get up every day, discipline myself to sit down at my desk and produce content to submit it to the companies I am contracted [...]

    Commitment Report Vol XXI

    It’s been a week since my last commitment report, and while not much has taken place on the fiction front, I have been working really hard to expand my freelance career. [...]

    Commitment Report Vol XVII

    I started my morning off with a bit of a bang. A major plot twist that had been alluding me since the beginning of the novel snapped into place like Lego blocks, and I have spent the last two hours combing through strands to work it into place. [...]

    Commitment Report Vol XV

    Ahhh, this weekend has been jampacked with goodness, but I won’t lie. It’s been incredibly busy because of that. On Friday, I was on track with my NaNo wordcount, but after driving into Rochester to pick up James early Saturday morning, we wound up sleeping much of yesterday. When we did finally get around, the [...]
