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 […]

Sacrifice

October 11, 2012

Bullets tore through the air as the screams of the wounded and dying mixed with the explosions that shook the ground of the tiny village. The raid had hit so suddenly, almost no one had been prepared—the soldiers raced into the little village with their trucks and Jeeps, screaming at the villagers. They hadn’t wanted […]

The Hiker

October 4, 2012

Another little piece of juvenilia–I’m sorry I don’t have anything that wasn’t written when I was sixteen.  Next week, you will get something more recent.  For now, have fun enjoying my mad teenage writing skillz. – “Up this way,” I told her.  She had been hesitant all morning; she had almost refused to come. “Honey, […]

AWOL

October 3, 2012

No, that’s not the title of a cool new story about a spy who ran off on a deadly personal mission to avenge his fallen loved one who was killed under mysterious circumstances. But…maybe it will be in the future. Anywho, for the moment, it’s just the title of a post wherein I apologize for […]

A Random Writing Tip

September 13, 2012

So if you write at all, you probably already carry a notebook and some extra pens with you everywhere you go.  And if you don’t, you at least know that you should. But sometimes, you forget.  Or at least I do.  If you’re rushed out of the house, or you don’t want to have too […]

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 […]

Standing Desk for my Three Day Novel Contest

September 3, 2012

Today I converted my usual work table in to a standing desk. And by that I mean, “I propped my computer up on an empty shoe box.” It’s actually the perfect height for me, though, so it works.  My mouse is sitting on a slightly smaller shoe box, which is a little wobbly, but life […]

Star Wars: Episode I – Epilogue

August 23, 2012

The celebration was loud, and busy, and completely overwhelming to Anakin.  The only time he’d ever seen crowds like this was when he’d participated in podraces, and at least then he’d had a machine to distract him.  The sun was blazing overhead, and while it wasn’t as painful as the suns of Tatooine, it was […]

Star Wars: Episode I – Chapter VII

August 16, 2012

The Jedi and Cordelia hurried away, leaving Anakin alone amidst the carnage. The boy still held the Captain Panaka’s gun in one hand, but it suddenly felt so heavy. He set it down and moved away – he didn’t want to be near the Captain’s body anymore. But he couldn’t escape them. The handmaidens, pilots, […]
