Dorian Tsukioka was born in Iowa, but lived most of her childhood in the heart of America, in Kansas City, Missouri. After college, she lived in Japan, in Nagasaki Prefecture. There, she met her her husband and got her crazy last name.

She and her husband lived in Las Vegas, Nevada, Durango, Colorado, and Colorado Springs, Colorado until her first born child came along.

I just keep going. Sometimes, it's slow. Just. One. Word. At. A. Time.

Other times it helps to create a planned outline of where I want to go with the book.

I've heard other writers say that they don't give themselves the luxury of writer's block. When they get stuck, they just sit there until they push themselves through it. I'm not sure if I'm there yet, but more often than not, I don't let writer's block stop me from finishing a story.(less)

Sometimes I fall in love with my main characters and I don't want to put them through hardships, but pain is what makes their stories interesting. I have to admit, it's a little bit fun to be sadistic to my characters at times. (less)

Maevyn: Chapter 1

I had such a good time sharing my last story with you, that I decided to do it again.

Here is the first chapter to a novel I wrote a couple of years ago that I'm in the midst of revising.
This is still REALLY rough, so be gentle.
Hopefully, as time goes by, it will be more revised and less messy.

Consider this week's chapter the BEFORE.
After revising, I'll post the AFTER.
