Finish This Sentence: “I was really surprised to find out…”
“I was really surprised to find out…” The author’s sleepy words dribbled off into a mumble. His wife’s eyes widened. Why couldn’t he be like other men that enjoy football games, movies, and maybe even come to bed at night? Instead he types like a maniac until the no longer wee hours, drinks coffee until

Secrets of Barrington Hall – Update
Kyle made this delicious cover for me. I love the art, but not so much the layout. Maybe it should just be called Barrington Hall? Secrets sounds sinister but maybe potential readers will think it’s a romance. Needs more blood. I’m going to rewrite it in December from the first person perspective (Bartholomew’s) as an

Uncrossing the Stars
I remember one sunny day in September, sitting on the corner of Dwight and Telegraph, strumming my guitar absent-mindedly—what song is this again?—my myopic eyes in constant scanning patterns, searching crowds, reminiscent of the night before, when I found and lost and found you again. Remember I gave you that American Beauty that my friend plucked

Nanowrimo Winner Status
Yeah, I’m proud! LOL. This novel was pretty tough at first, but once I recovered from the election, the need to rise above intensified. I forced myself to ask why I was making such difficult choices and commitment, when I am willing to let external events affect me. Bad as this year has been for

Moving to the Climax Now
I have a lot of revision to do. This is truly an “ugly first draft”, but the story is coming together as I write. Three more chapters to go, plus two intermission segments, altogether about 17000-20000 words, which can certainly be done in the 10 days remaining at this pace. This will indeed need a

Lyza Is Really Turning the Corner – Keep Going, Girl – Bring This Home
I think I’ve really turned the corner on this one. I cannot write it fast enough. It very simply flows and I just have to write it down. Character led, just like it’s supposed to be, and it’s filling an enormous void in my fantasy world. A history is being created. I’m very happy about

One Sign = Right On!
I love this image. The tables have been flipped. Where are the real Americans? Right here: This is what his mother Brisa Pinho told the Huffington Post: “The wall I speak of in the sign is figurative. [It’s] a wall of hate, racism, and xenophobia that if built in the years ahead, will be torn

Progress Report – Lyza Still Lives (but was on life support)
Today’s effort definitely helped. I’ve a good layout for the next chapter too. I think the book is coming along pretty well, even though it isn’t precisely the story I wanted to tell. For a first draft, it’s not too bad.
