Friday will now be officially changed to Karenday. I think it has a nice ring to it, even if you don’t. :p
Karenday is my day off. Unfortunately, that isn’t going to be the case forever, but until the end of June 2007, it certainly is. When my bosses granted me this [...]

Blogging, when we first start it, is addictive. Instead of writing or planning a story, we spend much of the day writing and planning our next post in our heads. There’s so much to say and not enough time to say it.
Or so we think.
As the days turn into weeks, and the weeks [...]

With 19,232 words already edited, and only three chapters to go, I’m doing extremely well with the edit of Cat’s Paw. Having said that, the next three chapters are going to be, by far, the hardest chapters to work on. I wrote them at the end of NaNoWriMo and didn’t put the same [...]

Editing the second chapter of Cat’s Paw has been no easy task. It is where the majority of the changes take place and I found it extremely difficult to introduce those changes and keep the same flow.
Shape shifting, loss of power, a mother’s well being, and not to mention a good reason for giving [...]

After several days of research, I’ve discovered that there’s not much information on writing non-fiction to be found on the internet…unless you don’t mind paying for it.
Yes, there is information, but not the kind of information I really want, like how to plan. (If you have links you would like to share, please feel [...]

This morning, I finished reading the first draft of Cat’s Paw. This draft was written during what I call Mini-NaNo in November last year. In all honesty, I thought the story was quite weak when I finished writing it, but, to my surprise I discovered after this read through that I was wrong!
It’s [...]

Since the loss of my son in May last year, I haven’t slept well. At first, I would be lucky to get two hours sleep each night, however, now I’m getting around five to six hours sleep. At least this number of hours helps me function…almost. I still have concentration and memory [...]

Since returning to work after the Christmas break, I have found that I can no longer reach this blog from work, which is a real pain. I don’t think my workplace has done anything to stop me. I believe it has something to do with the problems I’ve been experiencing on this website [...]

Yesterday, I spent several hours working on the image of the people of my world - Miuans. After many “not pleasant” results, I finally ended up with a “race” I could be proud of. I would share the image, but I feel that a writer should know in their own mind what they [...]

I heard on the news a few nights ago that the Australian summer has been milder than any we’ve had in a long time. With temperatures staying in the mid twenties (Celsius) most days, with only the odd humid day, I have to agree. It’s been a great summer so far. They [...]
