Some may have noticed the disappearance of writing on this blog for – well, ages. Some who have tracked me onto my Second Life blog may think I’m doing okay, but look like I have submersed myself into writing blog posts onto, and about Second life. You’re probably right. I had big intentions to get back into writing this month, with NaNoWriMo, almost inspired enough to join up with a supportive writing group, after attending some inspiring week-long writing workshops at the 2009 online Mu...

Well, writing hasn’t been going that well lately. Mine, at least. Although my other blog has been going incredibly well, as I’ve sunk myself into living a second life. But as for my real life…. Having experienced a huge loss in falling out of the adoption process in August, my mind and body just doesn’t seem to be co-operating very well. The first few weeks were difficult and intense. One day I would be okay, and the next I would wake up – physically sick, and mentally worse off. But stil... Read Full Story

Over the last few weeks, writer mentor and trainer Holly Lisle has been busy with new classes and writing products. I was holding off on some of these so that I could amalgamate all into one post, but since saving one of her new bigger ones, it’s been pulled.

For those interested in using (or currently use) Liquid Story Writer as a writing platform, and aren’t part of the Yahoo chat and news group for the program, there has been a lot (double-emphasis on that word) of discussion lately over Scenes vs Chapters as a writing building mechanism.

My next novel is Steampunk themed, for some of it. I’m therefore sharing this music video here on my own writing blog as sustenance. I quite like those sea creatures. The image shared with you is taken within Second Life, and that’s my steampunk-clad avatar within it. I needed a header image, and this seemed fitting.
