What's New--Look for my new story Bad Water in the August/September
anniversary edition of AlienSkin Magazine!
Carpal
tunnel has slowed me down, but yes, I'm still here, and hoping to be blogging
more regularly soon.
Looking for a really good book on character
creation? Check out the Create A Character Clinic by Holly Lisle, one of my favorite authors.
Finally
another update! Come visit my new web journal;
the regular link is on the Polls & Guestbook page.
I have a big backlog of emails to work
through, including some Round Robin entries. If you've sent me something
and haven't heard back, don't give up! 2005 has been rocky and my site
work has gotten behind. I hope to catch up on correspondence soon.
This time we have a whole new Writer's Resources
page--this one with research sources.
Added to the Writer's Block page is an
in-depth section on what to do when it's more than just "writer's block".
We also have a brand new segment three posted for
"Emergency!"
Segment
five of "The Mind Warrior" has just been
posted--stay tuned for more! The next segment of
"The Awakening" has been posted as well, both of these stories are getting
interesting!
Lots of
new stuff in the Round Robin rooms this time! T Cat has sent not one, but
two wonderful additions to "The Awakening", and
segment four of "The Mind Warrior" is up in the
Round Robin room--another riveting contribution from Travis Pullen. You
won't want to miss these!
Several people have emailed in the last month
asking about the lengths of novels, short stories, and other fiction forms.
In answer, a new page has been added to the Fiction Tips room, all about fiction
lengths. Find it
here.
Round
Robin Renovations! Come check out the revamped Round Robin Story
Room; now with multiple stories proceeding at once. There are currently 4
posted, two of which are by a guest contributor, Andrew Money. His website
is on our links page, and you won't want to miss it!
In addition to the new stories, there is a brand-new submission form to make it
easier than ever to submit your ideas for the next segment.
Are you interested in contributing a story opening to the Round Robin room?

Resources--Software for Writers" to the Fiction Tips section of the
