Getting a straight answer from a doctor
So while I’m recliner-bound for 2 months I’m planning on getting a lot of writing done.

Worst. Birthday Gift. Ever.
Apparently I have weird-shaped legs. Also I suck at picking out birthday gifts for myself.

Bring it on, 2014
I resolve to be true to myself.

2013 in retrospect
I want to focus on the good, and work towards making 2014 much better. With that in mind, here is my list of pretty cool/awesome things that happened this year.

Science-fiction Fantasy Saturday, Nov. 2nd: a bit from The Jade Star of Athering
Whoa hey I’m back. It’s been a while! I have technically finished the first draft of Jade Star, but as revisions with this book means “add a few thousand words”, it’s still a WiP. Spoilers for Bellica ahead.

Blood, Gravy, and my Cill shift

I just finished a novel, no big deal
You read that right. I just finished Stranger Skies, the NaNoWriMo novel I’ve been posting snippets from for SFFSat. First draft clocks in at just over 70,000 words. Definitely shorter than Bellica‘s ~250,000 words, but then Bellica was meant to be a standalone (ha ha) and Stranger Skies is going to be the first in…
