Writing Update: 12 October

Upon the advice of a fellow author, I have started using Instrumental music to tune out my hubby's video games -- he just got the latest WoW expansion and Resident Evil 6. Neither of which are great background noise for trying to write.

It's working. I've also stopped sitting at my computer desk. I'm now using my beanbag chair more. The computer desk has become a "work" station where I catch up

Writing Advice: Self-Editing Tip #5 - Save for Later

One of the hardest things about self-editing is deleting. A word, a sentence, a paragraph, a page, a scene, a chapter -- doesn't matter how long. You wrote it and you want to keep it. Unfortunately, you can't, not if you want your story to be better.

One of the tricks I've learned to soften the blow is to create a text file of deleted text. Anything over a few sentences, gets copy-and-pasted

Music: Sugar Water

The first time I heard this song was in episode one of Buffy the Vampire Slayer season two (When She Was Bad). I've loved it ever since. The beat is very sensual. Mix that with my memory of the scene where I originally heard it and I like playing this song when I'm writing something steamy.

End of Movie Reviews

Ever so often I phase out something on my blog. This time it's movie reviews. I'm still going to the movies as often as I usually do, but I just don't feel like writing reviews any longer. It's easier to put a few lines of commentary in my FB status.

I might get the inclination to bust one out one day but not right now. Just so people don't wonder where the movie reviews have gone, I decided to
