… but I’m working through the editor’s (aka SFG’s) story notes for Dowser 8 today. Yep, this is what brainstorming a ‘missing’ scene looked like earlier this afternoon. I’ve also spent the day trying to convince myself that I have absolutely no need for a new iPad, even if I would totally have fun writing […]

Name a cupcake!
Two new cupcakes are featured in the opening chapters of Dowser 8. And, for the first time, I find myself slightly stumped about what to name them. Yesterday, after completing the first draft of Dower 8.5 and apparently freeing up some headspace, I decided it might be fun for a reader (or two) to get […]
I finally got Dowser 8 off to the editor (aka SFG aka Scott Fitzgerald Gray) for story editing this morning. Though I nearly lost my mind trying to output the manuscript from Scrivener (the software I use to write) into a WORD document because the compile function had been updated/upgraded.

Normally, I work on one project/novel/screenplay at a time, taking it through three drafts, then story edit, then another draft and polishing pass, then content/line edit, then final read through, then proofreaders, and then the book is released. Meaning that after I write […]
I couldn’t let Valentine’s Day pass without sharing a glimpse of my (current) favourite couple, Jade and Warner.
Jasmine glanced between us. “You two are a little crazy, you know.” Kandy shrugged. “You’ll get it, baby girl. When you’re all grown up and never meet your match.” Jasmine twisted her lips wryly, tugging her phone of out her jacket pocket. “I’ve already met him.” Kandy laughed huskily, shaking her head. “The nearly immortal […]
Me: *getting a drink of water from the kitchen, and – lets be honest – some chocolate.* Michael: How is the writing going? Me: *introspectively, speaking mostly to myself* Ah, good. I know how the rest of the chapter unfolds, I just have no idea what complication occurs in the next chapter. But, I had […]
