The Journey II: Mission Completed (sort of…)

Four days ago, I typed the words, "The End" (or "To Be Continued" depending on what happens next) on my first novel, Southern Devils.  What started out as a short story with a very sordid past, finally became the book I hoped it would.  Right now, I'm taking a few days to catch up on …

The Journey II: Out From the Shell

Growing up, I hated to talk in public.  I still do, but I'm more comfortable with it now.  Before I started writing for real, I really just liked to stay locked in my shell and go through life quietly.  Most of this I believe is due to my really bad self-esteem issues.  This part of …

The Journey II: Becoming a Juggler When You Can’t Juggle

Goals.  Everyone has them to some extent, but how many do we really reach?  I know I have a few for my writing and I'm trying to meet those goals everyday...or almost everyday.  A full novel?  Started.  A short story collection?  The pieces are being assembled now.  Novella?  Done that, but I'm working on another …

My Writing Pet Peeve is…

...Editing. There I said it.  I don't like editing.  I'd rather have someone shove bamboo under my fingernails than sit through and edit something I wrote.  Honestly, when you think about it, I don't think I'd ever grow to gleefully take the red pen of death to my work.  While I don't enjoy seeing my stories torn apart, …
