We Write!
Yeah, I know, promotion has no hyphen in it. It's early, I'm pre-coffee, so bear with me. Pro, or for, and motion. Or perhaps it's 'in favor of' and motion. Either way, there's energy in that. We're going places! And we're asking you to come along with us, dear readers. Here's the thing. Mad Genius... Continue Reading →
Sarah is away from computer today, so we're being helpful Mad Geniuses and posting this for her. Hopefully there isn't a rain of carp in our future. Although with carp, I could make a few recipes... Anyway, she did put this up at According to Hoyt, but we thought it was good enough she should... Continue Reading →
I had an epiphany today. Yes, I still have those, even at my ancient age of 36. No, senility has yet to strike. Wait, what are we talking about? Seriously, I was out mowing the lawn when I was struck by a thought. What if, an insidious voice whispered in my ear as everything else... Continue Reading →
In the last 48 hours I have written about 15K words of fiction, which is a lot, for me. I have about 20% of the projected length of the novel remaining, and I want to finish it as soon as possible so I can get on to other projects, this summer being very very busy.... Continue Reading →
In case you’ve been living under a rock for the last week, our very own Kate stirred up more than a tempest in a B-cup with her post last Thursday.

What I'm talking about, since entendre is out of the question, is the extra stuff that goes into a story. The scenery, characterization, action and so forth that... Continue Reading →
Blame Sarah. Her post yesterday started me thinking on this line, and anything that gets me thinking moderately philosophical thoughts is dangerous. Anyway, as Sarah said yesterday, madness and creativity are pretty closely intertwined. Very few highly creative types don't argue with some form of mental illness, and frankly, once the intelligence levels get high... Continue Reading →
And no, I don't mean dead people. I mean non-writers and writers whose usual fields aren't the ones we frequent. Why? Well, between the furor that seems to have finally died over Sarah's analysis (and anger) over a non-fiction author's assumption that fiction is easy - just making things up (and therefore more amenable to...

by Amanda S. Green That's the question that's been staring me in the face not just this morning as I try to figure out what to blog. I've been up to my eyes trying to finish the rewrite and edits on Nocturnal Serenade so I can get them to my editor as well as doing... Continue Reading →
