I've had this week off from school and was focused almost exclusively on writing/editing for Tapped. (Yep, I'm still not in love with that title.) With a few Vampire Diary deviations I've been pretty well focused on getting this draft completed so that I can go to work on editing Persona. Yes, you read that … Continue reading What I’ve Learned from Vampires

The Dream Life of an Author — AKA Conquistadors?
I cannot be the only author out there who wakes up after a dream and wonders what the heck just happened. Case in point -- last night as I slumbered I found myself being chased by ex-communicated 15th Century Conquistadors. I should qualify that statement with the fact that I am not in history class … Continue reading The Dream Life of an Author — AKA Conquistadors?
Bad TV
I can't literally watch television because I'm in school and all that, but I do have Netflix so I can watch various shows. (Alas, no Castle on there at the moment.) So I decided to watch some Star Trek. There are lots of choices out there for me, but I picked Star Trek: Enterprise because … Continue reading Bad TV

Story Bibles (aka – Consistency, People!)
A friend of mine uses a Wiki to keep all her files straight while she's writing a book. I've seen software designed to help maintain little "sticky-notes" to help authors as they're in the middle of creating their fiction. Both would fall under what I define as a "story bible". Basically, that's the spot the … Continue reading Story Bibles (aka – Consistency, People!)
Quests
So there I was trying to take a nap because I'm either coming down with something nasty or have finally developed allergies -- Hopefully I'm just getting sick. I really don't want to look forward to a seasonal allergy every year -- when I opened my eyes and saw something strange on my bookshelf. Do … Continue reading Quests
