    Friday Free Write – The Old Oak Tree

    ” There are at least seventeen ways this could have gone better. Literally, like, I’m counting them right now, you moron,” Mylonite’s sword whacked away one of the absurd little mutant turtles as they tried to grab their ankles again. One of them caught Andrea’s sword in a firm grasp, but before she tumbled into…

  • Spaceship Creation Time

    Spaceship Creation Time

    I didn’t accomplish much writing this weekend, but I did spend a lot of time designing spaceships for Peregrina. I can already tell you I’m definitely going for soft science fiction.

    Written Scenes Too Much Too Little?

    Hello! Hope you all are having an excellent start to the week. Going through Klytië’s manuscript, I realized in all the rewrites, I added and removed details for various plot points that don’t actually mean anything. I have little scenes within larger scenes and go from extensive descriptions to barely any. There are some sections…
