More From My Cowboy Story

Two reminders and a snip! First, Turtleduck Press is still looking for that right writer to join our merry band. Second, the posting of my cowboys story is still coming up. This snip is from earlier in the story than the last excerpt. โ‰ˆโ‰ˆ:=> Cal rode close to the canyon wall, not really watching where […]

New Story! Again. Oops, Except Not Really

New Story! Again. Oops, Except Not Really

I love writing. If you’ve been here more than five minutes, you probably know this. So I’m excited to announce that the Goodreads M/M Romance group is doing another writing/reading extravaganza (the same sort of event that caused the conception of Romeo and Julian) and I am again participating. I can’t wait to introduce everyone

Six-Sentence Sunday: Romeo and Julian

Just a wee bit from that Goodreads challenge story I’ve been talking about. Julian had a skilled hand. Romeo could barely draw stick figures and funny faces, but still he was Italian and he knew art when he saw it. The raw sketches of his back, his arms, the whole-body one, spoke of power and

Rafe's Frustration #SixSentenceSunday

Why not? It’s fun. This is from the goof-off bit I’m working on today, because I want to. “Fine.” Rafe closed the books and tossed them in a stack on the floor. He’d get a shower and he’d eat and maybe he’d manage to convince Taro that sex was a better use of his time

NaNo Story Bit

NaNo Story Bit

This NaNo is being a pain and I am way behind. So have a bit, and I’ll come talk more after I win this blasted challenge. This is first draft, and also a scene that won’t be in the book. It’s basically me poking about, trying to figure things out so I can write the

NOES! I Love That Scene!!

But, alas…it no longer fits. So to assuage my bitter loss, I’ll post the best part of it here. If you don’t know Eve, it loses much of its awesome, but hopefully enough remains. “Naturally you would prefer to be the target,โ€ the spook went on, โ€œsince you are, shall we say, much more able

Kill Your Darlings

Kill Your Darlings

Sometimes you just have to trash it all and write through someone else’s eyes. Sometimes you have a lovely bit of still-life, some couple thousand very pretty words, but your story hasn’t started yet. Or you’ve got a great scene, full of conflict and emotion, that doesn’t belong in the story you’re writing. I like
