This tickled my thoughts recently during one of my "feeding" sessions.  That is, during a time when my current WIP (or WIPs as the case may be) is roiling in my skull but not passing through my fingers. I "feed" my muse by devouring books or movies that line up in some manner with the pesky project. This usually pushes my muse into cooperating again. As it happened, I was watching the oldish

Don't believe me, do you? I am currently in the middle of a major series rewrite. After writing one and a half novels with one MC, but fighting to keep the spotlight off a secondary character the whole way, my muse finally slapped me to my senses. Secondary character is now my MC, and MC is now secondary, along with a POV change. (Limited third to close first) Which means both the finished and

Just popping in to let everyone know about my guest post over on The Sharp Angle. My favorite CP (critique partner) and bestie-writer friend Lydia Sharp graciously allowed me to babble about love triangles on her blog. Go on over there and say hello. In other news, as you can see, it's been a while since I posted. I actually have a good excuse. Yes, I do. See, I got offered a chance for some

My apologies if anyone gained ten pounds looking at that picture like I just did. Today's topic is not going to be about the pros and cons of choosing a good dessert--though that is one of the most important meals of the day.  In my personal opinion, every writer has a voice, a way they present their prose and stories that is distinctive to them. This "voice" is developed over years. Years.

As has been mentioned in my fellow writer friend (and regular friend) on her blog, Sharp Angle -- today at the Writer's Digest forum we have a special guest. The editor, Ray Rhemey, of the website Flogging the Quill. He is going to be answering questions about writing, publishing, and everything in between. Also, he is going to be flogging (that is critiquing as he does on his regular website)

I and many of my fellow writers are afflicted with a terrible disorder:  writer-side-stuck-onia. That is, the inability to shut off the writer half of their brain in any situation--be it serious like a funeral or mundane like a hard day at work.  Raise your hand if you've ever caught yourself dissecting a book's plot, a movie's plausibility, someone's conversation as inappropriately-worded

This topic has been ruminating in my mind recently after attempting to read a book by a normally good author. It was also brought up in the writer's forum I frequent as an annoyance by other readers. Namely, the way an author introduces graphic content, or topics of more sensitive nature. This could and likely would include torture, rape, child abuse, experimentation of any kind, gore, severe

I've been awaiting--eagerly awaiting--this second book in the series called the Kingkiller Chronicles. Some of you may remember my guest book review of the first book, Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, here.  The day the second one, Wise Man's Fear, was released, I bought it. And believe me, I do not do that easily. And I was not disappointed. The second book delivers just as good, if not

Today has been a hectic day for me, and I've got several stories yearning for my attention. So, rather than give detailed reviews today (though I will later on this week)  I'm going to list a handful of my favorite books. More specifically, those centered around the theme or featuring my favorite fantasy creature. Dragons. And check out the awesome cover art.  Dragon's Blood:  Book 1 of Pit

Taking a break from the "Sargas Chronicles" to applaud some hard work by Pill Hill Press. I have always had a love/hate relationship with anthologies. Typically, in my experience, an anthology combines a plethora of bad to terrible stories, intermixed with a scant few good stories. I'm happy to say this anthology was the reverse. When a writer friend of mine, Lydia Sharp, suggested I try it

The Pay-Off As has been discussed in previous posts on this blog, the creation of your villain is as important as the creation of your main character/hero. And, just as your hero should have his finale, your villain should have the pay-off. Once you've created a suitable villain, allowed him to rampage through the book/story, and nearly defeat your hero, it's time to unveil his ultimate defeat.

Protag/Hero:  The one with the most to lose -- the main character (Frodo, Will Turner) Antag.:          Oppose the Hero -- supporting characters to the villain (Gollum, Norrington) Villain:           The one with the most to gain -- the main "bad guy" (Sauron, Davy Jones) A little sidenote: one

 Define "Villain" As some of you may be aware of already, I am currently working on a second major rewrite of the science-fiction novel, Phoenix Rising. I'm not far off from my goal: finishing it by the New Year. My focus, at the moment, is tightly on this novel. And, in the process, on the final chapters that deal with one of my favorite characters--Sargas. I've received from most of my beta

With the temperatures around my house hovering at 28 degrees, I've had plenty more time to work on my to-be-read pile. And of course, that means more reviews for you. Isn't that great? Today is a special treat. I stumbled across this set of books on pure accident. While browsing writing.com, I found a snippet from UK author, Mark Robson's stories, read them, and adored them.

How is that for an oxymoron? What I'm referring to are contests in which you don't win publication, or money, or even a signed book by Stephanie Meyers (I wonder if she uses glitter pens....) Seriously though, I've found from the experience of my writer friends and other testimonials that these seemingly unworthy contests can help out your platform and your writing career.

A new anthology, called Eight Against Reality, by Panverse Publishing. Many thanks to Lydia Sharp for revealing an anthology that works with novellas.

For now, I'm going to focus in on two aspects of the book Hammerfall that were done very well. Pacing and Information Control. Can anyone guess what today's topic is?

My apologies to my longing audience, but my router has decided this week to harbor a whole host of gremlins.

Today, I decided to come out of the closet and confess my disorder. I am a Bibliophile. I'll wait while my industrious readers type that into Google. ... ... Done now? Good. It means simply that I love books. Not the e-books with their digital pages and internal light and instant downloads. Nor books on tape or CD, though those are handy if there is no light or you're on a long trip.

Admittedly, I don't often bother with New Year Resolutions. When I make goals like that as part of the "new me", I often fail or forget about the plans, or find that the goal really wasn't worth as much as it seemed in the glow of 1am on New Year's Eve, after four bowls of choco-chunk ice cream and sleep deprivation.

Yep, next chapter already. :) Hopefully, I can finish up the rough draft of this by February of 2010 but who knows...sometimes I can speed up the pace and finish a story fast. Sometimes, every chapter is a struggle.

Wow, it's been a long while since I posted on this thing. I knew it had been a good month but...wow. For your patience, here's another chapter of Desert Blood. A little hint of tension and foreshadow here, and hopefully, still an interesting story unfolding. :) Hail to Lodear—compass of the north; --Arioch slid into near wakefulness. He expected the bugle to sound any moment. There was no need

A little late--but here is the next chapter, and I expect the third one on Monday. I will remember this time. :)Though Athelia did her best to draw him out, Arioch did not cooperate. He answered in curt, one-word replies to her gentle questions. He never asked her anything. After cleaning the dishes, they retreated to the main room. Athelia shivered, rubbing her hands over her arms. The desert

Long time, no see. :)The holiday season always gets me busy, sometimes too busy. There's gifts to buy, food to eat, family to see...far too much for me to do and see and say at once. At least I seem to be able to fit in some time with my writing. :) Something my readers are sure to appreciate. I decided to set up a new project, hence the title. Every Monday, starting this coming Monday, I'm going

Hi againIt seems as summer wanes, time does too. It's hard to stop and smell the roses, if you know what I mean. Anyway, though I have been busy, it has been writing on CN, so it's not time wasted. :)I thought this time through, I'd just post a sample chapter again of CN. And fair warning: yes, it's a vampire story. But my goal is to make a "clean" one, relatively speaking. At this point in the

Found a song I like that makes me think of my writing, slightly. It has a celtic feel, for obvious reasons. I love Celtic. Fanatic!! lol But it has a speck of whimsy, and the old minstrel feel. Let's see if I figured out how to do this right. Blackmore's Night Lyrics It's hard working with html, at least to me. I have figured out bits and pieces with it, but as a whole, it's too complex for my

Ever feel that way? Like your mind has turned to mush, the plot line is stagnant, your characters hate you, and everything you read you just know you could write it better?Yep, I feel that way too. The slump. Sometimes it hits me hard, and I can't even stand the sight of my computer. Sometimes it's just a little thing, like now. Just a feeling that what I'm writing or planning just isn't good

Sorry about the delay in posting. I've been plodding along with life and writing in general. Things get hectic as the summer ends and fall rolls into view. Celebration!!I am happy to say that Veiled Memory is completed. Ended. Fine. (Of course, I still have editing to do) But I'm very satisfied with how it turned out. In fact, I enjoyed the characters so much that I'm about 10 chapters into a

It's only just begun, yet summer is firmly in place in my mind and schedule. A writer can't always enjoy the nice weather, but I have a few times now. It is enjoyable to sit and sketch an idea, or plan a particular plot twist, even a jot a few lines of poetry, while in the company of whistling birds and a the sleepily nodding heads of daisies and other flowers. I like it very much. I did promise

It's me again, slogging my way through life. :) I can't wait for summer time in a few short weeks. Warm weather, laughing kids, trips to the park and the zoo, and the most important change: plenty of time to work on chapters and other works. Veiled Memory may have a name change, to Dangerous Silence, though I haven't decided yet. Up to 50k words now, with three more chapters to go. But lately,

The writer's life is always rife with setbacks and encouragements. It's just a matter of seeing them in the right way and adjusting to them as they come along. My favorite novel so far has to be the one I'm still trying to finish. Veiled Memory (whose title I might change anyway) is up to 44k words now, and I know I'm getting close to the end. Yeah, I know it's going to be a shorter novel, but

So it begins, the journal of the Wandering Quill.Hello to all and welcome!This blog will be my journal to things both good and bad in my life as a writer. Goals for the year, the month, the week and on, as well as projects started and finished. I believe that even these can be written well. I will try to stay on track as much as possible, but here is a place I can be a little random too. Hope you
