Wherein I Explain Moonlight vs. Sunlight, And Conclude That Vampires Are Actually Plants

September 16, 2013

A good friend posted this image on Facebook:   And asked her writer friends (Mark Lidstone and myself, namely) to come up with a theory as to why this works.  I thought my answer was too good to be lost to Facebook, so here you have it: _________ OK, vampires aren’t killed by sunlight, they’re […]

My Bloody Valentine Flash Fiction Event!

February 12, 2013

So apparently I’m doing a Valentine’s Day flash fiction thing! I poetically should have decided on this before the week of Valentine’s Day, but oh well. I’ll keep this post short: All you have to do is write a (really) short story that incorporates: – Romance – Horror – Valentine’s Day And also maybe ghosts. […]

January 17, 2013

Ghost Story Flash Fiction Event

December 15, 2012

It has been decided–in large part by my Twitter pals, @JLLicea, @EliseValente, @danica84, and @seeredwrite–that I shall host a flash fiction event, and that the theme will be ghosts!  As my collection of “For Friends” short stories all pretty much feature ghosts (or the elements of ghosts), it seemed fitting that I should have more […]

Regrouping to Improve Writing

November 16, 2012

As a writer (freelance and author), I spend a lot of time working. When you’re self-employed, you’re never really off the clock, and if you have an ounce of energy, you will inevitably think, “I should be putting this toward the business/book/latest project/etc.” I had a whole plan of all the work I was going […]

A Random Writing Tip

September 13, 2012

Behind the Scenes: Pandora Has an “Epic Soundtracks” Station, in Case You Were Wondering

September 6, 2012

One of the things I’m almost always doing while writing is listening to music. I love to listen to music while I write, so unless there’s something directly preventing me from putting on my headphones, you can bet I’m rocking out while typing. Well, kinda.  The type of music I play largely depends on my […]
