Fifteen pages to go. I may actually finish this revision today!

In the home stretch of this revision. It WILL be finished this week.

Today on 'As the Revisions Continue', we find the author has used a character's name three paragraphs in a row.
Will they be able to reword this in time to take a nap later? Tune in to find out!

Been a while since I've come here to hang out.
What's everyone been up to?

From my current WIP.
“Hey gorgeous,” he whispered in a raspy voice. “Thought I was done for, didn’t you?”
Kristy grunted as she pulled him to his feet. “Wasn’t worried one little bit. You’re like a weed. Annoying and impossible to kill.”

I write short stories and novels. These are just a few of my titles.

Lol no.
I'm being a little facetious.
I know what a short story is. I wouldn't be giving a talk on it otherwise.

Giving a bit of a chat on short story writing today for my friends at @syww.org
Anyone know what a short story is? ;-)

Hard at work on the next book.
Book 1 of a new urban fantasy/paranormal series centered around married monster hunters.
Working to finish this round of revisions by the summer so I can send it out to potential markets.
I'm excited about this one!

4-star reviews are good. I'll take that!

I know the guy who wrote this!
Just sayin'...

I can't wait to read this one!
I mean, who doesn't love space pirates!!!

I'm considering creating a newsletter. Nothing crazy likely weekly, or anything. Maybe monthly, or quarterly.
What would you all like to see from me?
I love to talk ABOUT writing as much as I like to talk about my writing.
Let me know in the comments.

Getting a little lunch break writing done on Janik Byrnn 2.
Getting closer to a workable 1st draft.

Authors, don't forget your setting.
The setting can be one of the most intriguing characters in your story.
Give it the love it deserves.
-A note to myself after neglecting my setting...-

With every story I write, I learn a little more about myself and what I need to do to improve my craft.
The best is yet to come, my friends.

I forgot what happened in the first half of this book I'm working on, so now, the second half is lost in the woods somewhere not wearing any pants...

Use your imagination.

I'd appreciate it if you all bought my books so I can quit my day job and stay home to write in my underwear all day long.

Day job break times are for increasing word counts.

If you're not sure you want to invest your hard earned dollars into my writing, I have some good news. My website has a couple free reads where you can sample my wares before deciding if you want to make a purchase.
