Memories Like Roses is an initial attempt to capture some of those thoughts in story form, to explore the inherent conflict that seems present in translation through the medium of storytelling. Somehow, I doubt it will be my last word on the subject.
A Writing Diversion
I took a break to work on a different novel. No, that’s not a joke, but it is an accident.
Character Distinctiveness
I’ve dug into writing Rogue Planet in earnest…which meant realizing that I needed to take a step back and figure out a better way to manage the extensive cast.
Impressions Completed!
I finished the first draft of Impressions, which is now with my writing group and other beta readers for feedback before I start my cycle of revisions, solicit more feedback, and finally begin sending it out to possible literary agents. That the whole revision process lies ahead makes the “I’m finished” a bit less satisfying.
New Story: The Legend of Meladerth’s Valley
Despite my best efforts, though, I still think about other story ideas, and sometimes they beg to be written.
Impressions Map
I somehow wrote almost all of Impressions, which features a significant amount of travel for Raven, and lots of luxuriating in the worldbuilding, without even a sketch of a map. Only when my writing group began going through the story did I think to rectify the story’s tardy cartographic situation.
New Project: Rogue Planet
I am pleased to announce that my next project will be a science fiction novel tentatively entitled Rogue Planet.
Until Death Do Us Part Release and Author’s Note
I sat down and wrote, for the "Monsters and Madness" prompt, a...romance?
Ancient Origins
This is not a formal announcement of a new series, and I‘m certainly not putting dates onto anything.
Impressions Update: Part Two
Impressions, especially the first two parts, is an odd book, and I am interested to see what feedback I receive on it from my writing group and other readers.
