N is for Nelson: I Wish I Had a Best Friend Like This #atozchallenge #blogging #CotS

So, I managed to mess up my letters and for about 15 minutes today, had my O post up. I think I fixed that, and will now give you the proper N post I had set up for today. N is for Nelson — Ellie Winters best, okay, more like only friend. Nelson is modeled [...]

Kismet: What a Stinking Awesome Word #atozchallenge #blogging #writing

Kismet has to be pretty close to one of my favorite words. Not only because its existence gives me plenty of writing fodder, but also because it means FATE — Fate… such a fickle and often used subject for writing fiction. Okay, so topic selected: Kismet. Now what? What about it? How do I make [...]

Jyslin Dalael: Etherian Priestess in Training: A Character Profile #atozchallenge #blogging #writing

Since today's letter is J, I thought I would post today about my most recent character obsession, Jyslin (Jice-linn). I spelled it phonetically because I did have a reader friend giggle at the name. She had been pronouncing it differently, and well, it isn't the sort of way I want her name remembered, if you [...]

Imagination: Everytime I Use the Word I Think of Dear Spongebob #atozchallenge #blogging

I would like to blame the fact that I have three children, but I'm afraid even if I didn't, I would still have a Spongebob obsession. The show just cracks me up. Due to this obsession (and that fact that I do, indeed have three kids), I have seen every Spongebob episode at least three [...]

Hubris: Something I don't have, but one of my characters sure does. #atozchallenge #blogging #writing

So, when I was staring at this blank page and trying like HECK (tossing in the H words, already ) to figure out what I wanted to use for an H post, I tossed a tweet out to my "peeps" to see what words they could suggest to maybe get my brain firing on some [...]

G is for Gratitude: Like the Undying Kind #atozchallenge #blogging #writing

My mother should be proud of this particular posting. *waves* Hi, Mom! Today, I wanted to take a moment to discuss a really important G word — GRATITUDE, which actually walks hand in hand with another great G word — GRACIOUSNESS. When I started my "career" as an author, I didn't know jack about what [...]

Funny Friday Felines: Because Funny is the Best F Word #blogging #atozchallenge #fridayfunny

FUNNY FRIDAY FELINES!! (Now those are some good F words!) My favorite F word has always been FUNNY, so rather than try to come up with a post about what I think is funny (which I thought about trying to do before I realized just how twisted my sense of humor is), I thought I [...]

Eight Great Truths: Machenwood's Laws #AtoZchallenge #writing #blogging #machenwood

As I promised you all in yesterday's D posting, for E day of the A to Z Challenge, we are tackling the Eight Great Truths of Machenwood. The truths are akin to the laws of physics. They govern all the races and realms of the world, be they dark or light–good or evil. Even Machenwood's [...]

Domnu: My Take on the Big Bad Wolf #blogging #atozchallenge #writing #machenwood

When I got to the blank page that would become this D post for the A to Z Challenge, the very first D word that popped into my head was DOMNU. Say what? Yup. Domnu is the the male lead character in one of the Machenwood novels in progress. It would be the second book [...]

Cinuint: What the Heck is that, Anyway? #blogging #atozchallenge #writing

I swear, I am not cheating by starting my C day post with what you probably think is some sort of strange gibberish or made up word. Cinuint is a word, just not an English one, or well, one of this world–this reality. I did sort of borrow it from an Irish Gaelic dictionary, though, [...]
