I fell short on my writing goal last night and it’s because I fell into a Twilight k hole…
I can’t write in dead silence. I have to either have music or a show/movie of some sort playing in the background. It’s like white noise except I actually pay attention to it while I’m working. More often than not, it’s something supernatural or fantasy in nature. Underworld, The Magicians, Game of Thrones, Supernatural, etc. …

Okay, the reviews from NIGHTSHADE are rolling in and I’m heaving a huge sigh of relief…
I have to admit, when I decided to write in Amazon’s Vampire Diaries KindleWorlds, I was really nervous that the second I hit publish, fandom trolls were going to come out keyboard guns blazing.

Elizabeth York, the Asshat Thief, and Why Every Artist Should Want to SCREAM Right Now

Not just for authors, but for artists in general. Elizabeth York is a name you …

My blogging plan got screwed today, so this is what you get instead. #amwriting
Hey party people. Today is one of those days where I’m 100% thoroughly exhausted. It was an early morning into work, one of the worst phone calls I’ve ever taken, and then just way too much busy for one day. Just a genuinely shitastic day. Sigh…. I have just eight work hours left to …

I promise I will be back…. #amwriting
