How in Hades Do You Keep Track of Your Notes?

How in Hades Do You Keep Track of Your Notes?

Okay, internets, help me out here. I write. A lot. I have several universes in motion. I simply cannot focus on just one–it’s not how my brain goes. I tried a note box. It’s worked some, but not as much as I need. I own a file cabinet. I try to keep things filed. I

Six Sentence Sunday: The Fight

Six Sentence Sunday: The Fight

This is from that fight in His Faithful Squire that I’ve been complaining about for days.

What's Harder Than Writing Good Smut?

Manuscript Slog is Done!

Manuscript Slog is Done!

I was debating, but now I’m not. It’s done. I’ll do a better job fixing the last few scenes when I’ve got the rest of the manuscript poked into shape. I often do the end that way. It will work. So that means I’m done! Now to dance (slightly) on my way to falling nose-first

Are We Equals? (Hint: Are We Women?)

Are We Equals? (Hint: Are We Women?)

It’s funny how things come up all at once sometimes. A friend linked this yesterday. This is where I draw the line. This is where I asks moms all over the world who are SICK OF PINK to take a stand and make it stop. I’m making it stop. I’m asking you to say no to
