NaNo NaNo NaNooooooo…It’s Coming

Book! May the Best Ghost Win is live! Get it right here! Paperback to follow! Whoohoo! I’m so excited about this one, y’all, you have no idea. Yes, okay, I get excited about all of them. But that doesn’t decrease the awesome. I put out a book! It’s a good one! I hope you’ll find […]

COVER REVEAL! May the Best Ghost Win

Most of the time, I’m really glad I’m publishing through Turtleduck Press instead of a traditional publisher. I love my fellow TDPers, and we work well together.

NaNo Plotting (aka, Decisions? Where?)

If you’ve been around a bit (like, as long as having read my last post,) you know that I have some unfinished works lying around. Just a couple. One or two. Maybe seventeen. (It’s not seventeen.) (I hope.) So I’ve been dithering what to do about NaNo. And dithering helps no one. So though I

So I Said I Would Post More

So I Said I Would Post More

Got past that tough post, thought I would post more…and then I wandered off. So. Hmm. Have some general News of Me. Journey to Rivendell Lothlorien Mordor? Back? The Undying Lands? Not sure where I left off, and no time to check right now (I’m writing before work and that’s a tight and immovable deadline)

Dear KD–Write. It. Down.

Dear KD--Write. It. Down.

I did it! Friends, I finished my book! I turned it in (late) Sunday night! Y’all. I knew I could do it, but I didn’t know if I’d ever be done doing it. You know? I was writing, I was moving forward, but the end just kept getting farther and farther away from me. It’s
