“I’m sorry, Muse isn’t here right now. Do you want to leave a message?”
It has become clear to me over the past couple of weeks that my writing methodology has become dysfunctional.
I have attention deficit disorder. I have it badly enough that it overlaps with Asperger’s, although I’m not an aspy according to my doc, I just have really annoying ADD. I mean, really annoying. […]
My Baby! My Baby!
Sigh. I had this “great idea” for re-writing Honest Impulses as one of the Purpose Wars novels, the first one, in fact, and the novel was going along really well until I re-read the first draft.
There’s a phrase in writing called “kill your babies.” It means, figuratively, to double-check that your favorite scenes are actually […]
You don’t frighten me, Muse.
Hey, Elf,” Muse said.
“Yah?”
“How would the military treat Bastet? Does the knowledge that, so far, medicine has failed to find a way to extend their lifespans beyond 45 while everyone else is living to 70 affect the way people treat them? What’s their relationship in the US with the gay community? How about with the […]
I’m gonna send her a memo, I really am…
“Muse, no.”
“But I’ve got it. Really, I do! See, Gabriel’s supposed to be the next Adam, a kind of posthuman Adam. It would work, wouldn’t it? Remember Lucifer’s promise at the end of Repentance? It would work. See, Gabriel’s supposed to progenitate– is that a word? It is now!– ”
“Muse, please!” I’m wailing at her.
“You […]
The Medium Shapes The Messenger: Authorial Voice And The Mode Of Writing
Last night I sat down to write one of the closing chapters of Jera’s Quest, a sort-of prequel to the next Aimee novel, and as I was working my way through a critical scene, the first face-to-face meeting of Princess Jera with the long-lost Prince Niav, whom she has just rescued and about whom there […]
The Mystic Treefort series has been posted to “Short Stories and Ephemera”
I promised many months ago that I would finish these and put them up, and so, after much consideration, tweaking, tuning, and adjusting of continuity, I have:
The Mystical Treefort: Orgy In August
The Mystical Treefort: Sodomy In September
The Mystical Treefort: Nymphs In November
The Mystical Treefort: Decadence In December
New Stories, and an Important Announcement
I have been a naughty Elf. I have missed the last two publication events in the Journal Entries. For that, I’m dreadfully sorry, and so as penance I offer the following three new stories:
287 / 06119: Sterlings: Word Gets Out
288 / 06119: Sterlings: Provocation
289 / 06119: Sterlings: Seductrice
On the other hand, if you […]
New Story! “Polly’s Conscience!”
A new Journal Entry, boys and girls. Journal Entry 264 / 06119: Polly’s Conscience continues the saga of Polly & Zia, now with guilt!
It’s gonna be another fifteen episodes or so before Zia learns just what her promise means. *Cackle*
Hey, I did a 1000 words on Caprice Starr this morning! And polished chapter […]
New Story!
I know, I know, I’m a little behind schedule. The camping trip sorta put me out of whack, and this is either a day late or eight days late, depending upon whose counting. But, never fear. Here’s the latest episode in the Journal Entries: Sterlings: Journal Entry 237 / 061119: The Strange, […]
The Generic Heroine
I’m trying to do a Seinfeld Chain around writing the Caprice Starr first draft, and I’m finding that it’s working, for the most part. The rule is simple: I get to maintain my chain if I give Caprice 1000 words. I have a simple script for word count that tells me where I […]
