You can really be 22 and stumbling down the street with your new bar crawl bestie one minute and then the next you're 35 and running to grab your binoculars before the red-winged blackbird you think you spotted flies away.

Just a couple more days left of my Spring Break and I'm choosing not to write today. With fewer than 2000 words to go to reach my goal, I feel very much the hare napping just shy of the finish line! Will my return to work overtake me while I rest?

High stakes drafting: schedule a skeet to post in half an hour. It must contain a massive spoiler for your current WIP. You can only cancel it after you've written 1000 words.

I love the way books bloom in my mind. They always start with a powerful moment. Then, it's a scene that grows into one chapter, two chapters, three-- more and more, a swirling mess of ideas until they find their places in the narrative. Sometimes, it happens so fast my pen can't keep up! I love it!

Sometimes all it takes is asking if you can even write dystopian for an idea for a fun little dystopian romp to appear, half-formed, in your head...
