My Author's Blog (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1310876-My-Authors-Blog Well, NaNoWriMo is behind me, and though I didn't make my goal of 50k words, I still had lots of fun, and gathered lots of new inspiration. Hence, why I have not been posting lately. Work on the sequal to 'The Lost Gate' is moving along very nicely indeed. Also been trying to prepare for the upcoming holidays...only 8 shopping days left ti...[Read Full Post] Mon, 17 Dec 2007 07:41:44 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/555624 It's been a while since I updated my blog, mainly because, as I expected, NaNoWriMo. This years event has so far been fairly productive for me, and I am now at the 31272 words mark. It's been one of those stories that just seems to flow, though I keep having to abandon it for work. :( Anyone else working on a NaNoWriMo story? If so how's...[Read Full Post] Wed, 21 Nov 2007 06:40:41 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/550595 Only two days until the start of NaNoWriMo 2007!! If you frequent this blog even occasionally you have probably seen me talk about NaNoWriMo. Well, wanted to warn all of you, that during November my blog will be shifting into 'NaNoWriMo Report' mode, which means a majority of the posts will be updates on not only my NaNo story, but also about N...[Read Full Post] Tue, 30 Oct 2007 07:20:29 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/545422 I have recently finished reading 'The Hallowed Hunt', by Lois Mcmaster Bujold. In this tale, Bujold weaves the various threads of the plot together to form an intricate pattern that echants and captivates. The characters are brought to life in a way that makes you empathise, even with the Earl Horseriver, who has his own plots in mind, and is n...[Read Full Post] Sat, 27 Oct 2007 11:41:32 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/544848 It's almost that time of year again, Holloween decorations are up in the stores and on lawns, candy is vanishing in droves, and everyone is starting to talk about Thanksgiving plans, and Christmas gifts...yet there is something else, also mighty big these days, that is about to happen. Something that dosn't get mentioned in the malls, and unfort...[Read Full Post] Fri, 26 Oct 2007 08:00:13 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/544615 Lately I have been going back and forth between a few projects, the sequal to 'The Lost Gate', notes and little bits about other projects that just won't leave me alone till I write them down, and preparing myself for NaNoWriMo 2007(which begins one week from Thursday by the way!!).   Late last night, as I was burning the mdinight oil ...[Read Full Post] Tue, 23 Oct 2007 07:40:16 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/543678 I saw on another blog, someone talking about a rejection notice they received lately, which reminded me of the email I got from another writing friend that received a rejection notice a couple of days ago on their first novel. While reading the second one, I noticed an almost positive note in the person's writing, oh sure they were down about being ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 17 Oct 2007 18:18:04 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/542410 All of the reading and writing that I do, it may be hard to imagine that there was once a time, when I was a child, that I could not stand to have to sit down and read a book. I read as little as possible, and only as often as possible, and therefore I didn't read well, so of course I didn't like it even more.   Then when I was a Freshman...[Read Full Post] Sun, 14 Oct 2007 09:01:46 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/541612 Thought today I would touch on another part of creating a Fantasy world for my fellow fantasy writers out there. One of the more fun, entertaining, and sometimes scary elements to a fantasy, mithilogical, or sci-fi world are fantastic creatures. These can be anything from a huge fire breathing Dragon, to a new and rare breed of horse, or little fairies...[Read Full Post] Thu, 11 Oct 2007 07:43:04 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/540948 Well, I was going to just post a book review for this weekend, but I have decided to, instead, do a little review/comment about an entire series of books. I have just finished reading(ok, I am a touch behind everyone else maybe) the last two books of the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling. My first thought when I read the last sentence on the last page ...[Read Full Post] Sun, 07 Oct 2007 11:27:40 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/540119
