Part of that commitment is probably obvious: I have to write the darn thing. Thanks, friends who conned me into this…thanks. This is my first time writing a serial, but I think […]

Fourteen Craaaazy Nights

  So, I mentioned I was working on a novel called Push Me and posted an excerpt last week. Well, it’s done–I’ve even put it through a few revisions with the help of betas. It’ll probably get shelved for a bit until I figure out what to do with it. When I write, I get sucked into the world so […]

WIP Wednesday–Push Me

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything I’ve been working on–other than the occasional tweets. I’ve been mostly working on things that are either in the process before or after submission–so I’m not supposed to post stuff from them. Since I’m actually waiting on manuscripts somewhere in that process, I decided to work on something I’d been planning for […]
