Notes From the Field: Sasquan 2015
The 73rd annual Worldcon was held this weekend in Spokane, WA at Sasquan 2015 and I showed up with a small posse of furry writers -- Kyell Gold and my husband Ryan. It was an intense weekend; I met so many great writers and community members out there, made a few new friends, bought over … Continue reading Notes From the Field: Sasquan 2015
Lessons of the 2015 Clarion Write-A-Thon
The Clarion Write-A-Thon is over for another year. This year, I wrote 40,570 words and raised just a hair over $400 for the Clarion Workshop! I didn't quite manage to hit my word count or fundraising goal, but I did finish two short stories, gotten well underway on a third, post a series of extensive … Continue reading Lessons of the 2015 Clarion Write-A-Thon
The Clarion Write-A-Thon: Week 6
After five weeks of the Clarion Write-A-Thon, I've written 30,523 words and raised $321.57. Both are fairly far from the goal of 50,000 words and $500, and I'm not sure I'll be able to write 19,500 words by August 1st. I mean, I COULD, but it'd pretty much mean doing nothing but writing for the … Continue reading The Clarion Write-A-Thon: Week 6
The Clarion Write-A-Thon, Week 4
We're halfway through the Clarion Write-A-Thon, and I've been fairly remiss with hitting my goals consistently up until now. I'm up to 14,535 words now, 7K short of the 21,500 that I wanted to have by now. I'm still working on my second short story, but Civil Engineering should be done today or tomorrow. Still, … Continue reading The Clarion Write-A-Thon, Week 4
Friday Fiction: The Exchange (Kraugh – Star Wars: Age of Rebellion)
This is a short short story featuring a character I'll be playing for a friend's Star Wars: Age of Rebellion game. He is a Togorian (a tall, feline-like alien species with a really interesting sexual dichotomy) who eschews the typical nomadic lifestyle of his species by choice -- he views traveling throughout the galaxy as … Continue reading Friday Fiction: The Exchange (Kraugh – Star Wars: Age of Rebellion)
The Clarion Write-A-Thon, Week 2
The first week of the Clarion Write-A-Thon is in the books! I've written 3,643 words so far, raised $145 in donations, and finished a grand total of 0 short stories! My word count is a pretty far cry from where I had hoped to be by now; I started off strong, but a series of … Continue reading The Clarion Write-A-Thon, Week 2
Clarion Write-A-Thon 2015: Why Am I Doing This, Anyway?
The sixth annual Clarion Write-A-Thon is underway! I've already explained just what the heck the Write-A-Thon is in Friday's entry, so I thought I would take a little bit of time to explain just why I'm doing this anyway. I'm not a rabbit who likes to pass the hat around and ask for things. I … Continue reading Clarion Write-A-Thon 2015: Why Am I Doing This, Anyway?
What Are You Working On?
Well, thanks for asking, me! I thought you would never ask! Here are a few of the things I'm hoping to make progress on this week: A Stable Love. This is a story that was commissioned by a friend, way back last year when I was toying with the idea of maybe offering commission slots … Continue reading What Are You Working On?
The End is the Most Frightening Part
By the time you read this I will have taken my very first behind-the-wheel driver’s test, with the hope of getting my license. Yes, I do realize that I’m pretty old to be getting my license for the first time, but that’s all right. I’m excited by the possibility of getting my license, buying a … Continue reading The End is the Most Frightening Part
