One of the great things about the day job is that I’ve been learning how to write in so many different modes. I’ve written training scripts, marketing scripts, brochures, newsletters, blurbs, SOPs, various scripts for franchise recruting videos, the occasional press release, resumes, bios, SEO optimized web copy, regular web copy, funding proposals, and much […]

Have I mentioned how much I love my apartment? Home again, late, delivered safely to my door by the Old Man. I’m hoping I avoided the stomach flu, but loads of folks weren’t so lucky. The con got easier on Saturday, and I had a better time and kept myself busy and went to a

I’m always curious to see how other people write books. Mainly because mine are always such a damn mess. When I hit the 3/4 mark, I have to go back and hack apart all the pacing. It’s all about timing action scenes and shuffling POV scenes into the right order. Putting in additional POV scenes
The fact that the two primary folks who put Nyx back together again are men really bothers me. So one of them will be getting a sex change. I mean, not within the book (though that certainly would be something interesting to explore in this weird body-swapping world… hm…), but an authorial one. Sometimes I
