All right, I'm a month into the serialization of Persona and I have to admit that I'm loving it.

A typical week goes something… Continue reading The Wattpad Experiment So Far

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.

Dead Magic Coming Soon!
In preparation for Dead Magic's release ... which is apparently coming sooner than I'd imagined ... I've decided to start adding some content. You'll noticed on the top bar that I've added a new page called "Magnellum" which is the world in which Dead Magic is centered. Also, on the sidebar (under the title Blogroll)… Continue reading Dead Magic Coming Soon!
The Importance of Positive Reinforcement
Dead Magic is officially in the hands of my publisher. (Woo! Happy confetti is getting tossed about my apartment right now!) I've also started poking around review sites to see about getting the book out there ... and there will probably be Giveaways and all that jazz when it's time for the release. But as… Continue reading The Importance of Positive Reinforcement
