//How to Write a Terrific Synopsis

This wasn’t exactly the shot I was going for, but I love how the photo captures the luminous autumn light we get this time of year.
I’m over at Word Whores, kicking off a week of synopsis-writing tips and tricks from the pros!
Of Hamsters, Pantsing and Becoming Creative
//
I still get a total thrill when people send me pics of my books on the shelves. Maybe one day I’ll get over it, but not so far. Could be I’m getting tiresome about it because I showed my mom a pic on my phone that someone sent and said, “photos like this make me so happy!” And she said, “I know,” in that *tone* people get, like when you’ve said something too many times.
But, hey. Look! Me and Guy Gavriel Kay!
Hee hee hee.
I’m over at Word Whores today, trying to explain more about my process and why I don’t really care about learning to pre-plot my books.

Should Women Write More Like Men to Succeed?

SFF Tropes that Still Make Me Crazy

News from New York City

Eating Me Some Crow
//
This is our artichoke plant. The one that I was warned would lose its artichokes to admittedly gorgeous blossoms if we let it go too long. We (obviously) let it go too long.
We meant to do that…
But that’s not what I’m eating crow about. This week’s topic in the Bordello is: What did you say you’d never do in a book, and then did? Click over to Word Whores to hear my embarrassing story!
