I got caught up working on Conduit 4 and apparently forgot it was Friday, so here is a late but super long (3K) excerpt of Kandy’s book to tide you over this weekend! I need to get some new words written next week because, after this, I’m all caught up! Enjoy! Meghan Reminder: this is […]

Update & Dowser Box Sets
We are currently experiencing an ‘atmospheric river’ (wiki link), aka a crazy amount of rain with actual flood warnings. This front hit the PNW last week but I think we only got the edge of it then. But it is WET now! Hopefully this deluge is translating to much needed snow on the mountains, because […]
Long excerpt this week because it didn’t make sense to chop this scene into two sections. Molly’s eyes are healing nicely – yay! The headache has been stupid bad this week (sigh), and I’m trying to not freak out about it because I’d actually been experiencing a reprieve the last few weeks – still in near […]
A quick, quick update from me this glorious Wednesday, Nov 4, as the headache has been bad for two days in a row and I’m not certain I’m forming sentences properly at this point. Molly had her eyelid surgery on Monday and came through it well. Yay! The surgeon also derided the ulcer in her […]
I did a bunch of research about plug-ins so that I could try to blur some of the excerpt this week, but soon decided that level of ‘tech’ is really way, way over my head (and I don’t want to screw anything up on my website), so I’ve posted Chapter 2, Part 3 in it’s […]
Keep me on your thoughts, please. I’ve just gotten the editor’s story notes back on Conduit 4, so I’ll spend the afternoon digging through them. Occasionally, my aprés-reading ‘feelings’ require a rather large dose of chocolate and some couch/knitting time to process. I usually do two full reading passes of SFG’s (aka the editor) notes […]
I was waffling about posting a Misfits 2 excerpt this week. Firstly, my week went a little sideways, because we had to go off island yesterday for an emergency specialist appointment for Molly (an ulcer in her eye) that, within 30 minutes, turned into an upcoming appointment for a $3500 eyelid surgery. (And we literally […]
Having done a pass on the first three chapters that I wrote year ago, I’m working through the outline/structure for Misfits 2 today, including building the book-specific character bible, etc. And I decided that I need a (‘neutral party’) sorcerer character for a fairly minor role and thought it would be fun to bring a […]
I’m celebrating getting Conduit 4 into the editor (and out of my mind, hopefully, for 10-14 days – yay) by dropping a longer Kandy excerpt (below!). YAY! I’m going to play around with Kandy’s book until it’s time for me to do another draft of Conduit 4 (based on the editor’s story notes), so I’m […]
Conduit 4. Second (full) Draft. 88, 664 words. Done! Whoot! I wrote the final chapter (3821 words) today. And when I get my hands on Michael’s notes tomorrow, I’ll be able to do a final quick polish before sending the book off to the editor for story (aka development) edit. That stage usually takes about […]
