If you’ve had a long enough interaction with the Writing/Publishing community, you probably know that during the month of November, a certain insanity overcomes many good, decent people…people you might pass on the street. They become slobbering, blathering maniacs fueled by caffeine and…even more disturbing…the creative juices. Wait…as an aside…what the crap are creative juices? That sounds a little […]

  I haven’t been researching the last two weeks, so my searches themselves have been related to revisions or my random brain hops, BUT…I’m going to list out where I’ve wandered around on the internet for your viewing pleasure.  So, basically, this is what I read for fun–with a little research history thrown in. (This might be scarier than all […]

  I cry during books. True story. I cry while writing my own books. I cry while revising them. I cry while reading them. I cry during other people’s books–even the ones I’m reading for the seventy-billionth time. Books make me cry. I really cry when characters get their feelings hurt or when they’re going through something horrible.  It’s hard […]

  I’ve been so scatter-brained lately due to allergy and OCD meds I had to confirm a few times that it is, indeed, Wednesday. Ever since about August, when I was prepping to release The Teacher’s Vet, my workload has changed. I used to have a few loaded Writer days where I focused on writing-related tasks, but it wasn’t a […]

  It’s been a while since I’ve done this and these searches are more scattered than normal because I’ve been working on all sorts of projects lately. These aren’t quite as freaky as previous ones, though.   Ready to go down the rabbit hole? *gives you a string to hold* Whatever you do…don’t let go of that string! *you drop […]

…hopefully while I’m sleeping. And only in regards to these giveaways. So, I have these cool giveaways going and you’re all like, “Wendy, I have enough amazing, sweet, classy, apple-inspired necklaces. Why would I need this one?”   First of all, that’s weird. Secondly, you have to fill out a form with your name and where you want your loot […]

  To celebrate the release of The Teacher’s Vet, Cerridwyn is hosting a Blog Tour and at the end of the blog tour, I’ll be giving away a beautiful apple-inspired necklace that was created by @RCMurphy (contact her on Twitter or via her blog for a custom necklace of your own.) The winner will be announced on my blog around September 18, 2013. […]

  Wanted: Married Writer Female seeks readers of any height, weight, age, persuasion, or gender. I enjoy late nights spent staring at a screen searching for homophone typos, research that makes me feel like a freak, and waiting for a reader to say, “I read your book.” I’m willing to work nights, days, weekends, and holidays fueled by Mountain Dew […]

  So, tomorrow is the release of The Teacher’s Vet…barring any funny business from Amazon or other retailers. And it’ll mark the beginning of what might be a crazy release end of year for me. And it’s almost surreal. Last year was hell. I will remember 2012 as one of the worst years of my life for the rest of […]

  AKA What’s in a Name Part II So, I honestly thought I was being obvious in my hints, but it goes to show you that an author has the hardest time leaving the “right” amount of clues. Either that or you guys were all like “whatever–so your narrator doesn’t have a name….” *coughs* Yeah, so I’d like to say […]
