My Writing Past
Previously, I’ve mainly written fantasy. I have manuscripts suitable for all ages. However, I specifically concentrated on children’s books – 8 to 12 years of age – over recent years. The only time I ventured into other genres were for short stories, although one of my first novel length manuscripts is romance […]

Sorting the Weeds and the Flowers
Following two hours of sorting through my Writing folder, I think I’m close to knowing which of my stories can can be called “weeds” and which are beautiful “flowers”. Unfortunately, the number of flowers in my vase are few.
At the moment, I’m taking a short break, sipping a cup of tea […]

Year of the Writer Comes to an End
At the end of last year, I said 2006 was going to be the Year of the Writer. Besides wanting to see publication for many of my internet writing friends, and for myself, I made a list of goals. I’ve just been reading the list and … I can’t believe it, even though […]

Collaborative Update: Chapter 22 finished
Surprisingly, this was a short chapter but it took me a week to write. Yes, it had a bit of a battle scene in it and anyone who knows me, knows I hate writing them.
I wrote it then edited it, then tried to make it active instead of passive. I think […]

What am I doing?
Yes, I’ve been quiet for a few days. It’s not that I’ve been particularly busy, or slack, it’s because I had to allow my brain to simmer the next two scenes of the Collaborative novel. One day wasn’t enough.
Last night, I actually completed chapter 21. It’s only a short chapter but it […]

Collaboration Project
A couple of years ago, a member of my Email Writing Group and I decided to write a novel together. We write a chapter or so each, then pass it over to the other person. There was a long period last year (actually, it was almost the whole year) when we didn’t work […]
