Decisions, decisions. We all know they have to die. I mean, yeah, we love them, but the show must go on. You should never shy away from killing off a character. Sometimes, things have to happen, and here's why? Who do you love? The first thing I always consider is who is loved in my... Continue Reading →
Reblog edition. . Back on the 12th, I wrote an article for the scifi romance brigade on writing fictional military characters. I wanted to let it have some time on the home blog today before it fades into obscurity. I spent some of the weekend back writing in the universe that inspired this post, and... Continue Reading →
Guest poster Pandora Spocks is making the rounds this week and hitting a few blogs in preparation for her new release on April 18th of the final chapter of her Rannigan series, and it's a doozy.

Here's a trick. One of the most important tricks I've learned is arrive late, and leave early. When writing, just pretend you're trying to be some high society glamour plate.
