For those of you not following my FB or my Patreon campaign: I’ve made some changes to my Patreon campaign that will go live April 1st. A few things prompted these changes, but primarily it’s been burnout. I started producing four to five thousand words of content monthly in 2014, and it’s been awesome…

Changes and Celebrations!
I’m gearing up to begin the Vigil tomorrow, and there’s a feel of heaviness about the shrine. Before I settle into the solemn mood that the Vigil requires, I want to talk about some joyous things. I’ve been working my tail off today, so that everything should be ready to go. The Vigil for the…
Favorite New (to me!) Authors of 2015
This list is in no particular order. I want to make that clear before I go any further. I’m a bit of a bookworm (erg, was that too sudden? Do you need to sit down for a minute? Catch your breath; I’ll wait). Part of the fun of reading for me is thinking about the…
More for me than for you — To Do List for NaNo prep
Finish final edits on Igraine’s Flight (56 small corrections to make; why did I not catch this on the first five passes through??) and get that baby uploaded. Definitely Amazon, maybe B&N, I don’t know about Smashwords or Kobo.(edited: right now, just Amazon) Edit chapter 11 of Marriage of Land and Sea and get that ready to…
Handmade devotional books and much more
Originally posted on Coffee at Midnight Designs:
Finally I can stop teasing you and share the details of my new project. My Etsy shop now has hand bound devotional books for Loki and custom ones that can contain any content you choose. The Loki devotional book contains an English translation of the Lokasenna (Bellows translation) and…
On Storytelling, or, Pay Attention Already, you stubborn git.
(Wherein the stubborn git is myself and no one else) I’ve been sitting at (I thought) chapter 6 on the current WiP since January or February. The goal was to have the whole thing completely finished by March. I’m halfway there, and I love everything about this world, but I haven’t touched it since February…
A Rant Against Lazy Writing
Before I really dive into this, I have to admit to a few things. The first is, in the reading of Bringing Race to the Table (review forthcoming) there have been a number of stories that have really ripped my eyes open and have broken my heart. One that has sunk in real, real deep…
Knowing Thyself isn’t enough.
Knowing yourself is only the first step. In some cases, it may be a long, involved first step. And, true, it’s a step that you never really leave. That self-awareness, that self-knowledge is important and it changes as you change. I wrote a bit ago about writing as spirit work. (And I’m not the only…
Questions about marrying gods or spirits?
I haven’t talked about it because I’m a tad superstitious when it comes to talking about writing projects before a certain amount of work has gone into them, but Beth has talked about it, so why not? We’re writing a book on Sacred Marriage. (Most important to note: we’re writing a book on our experiences…
Resolutions (TPE Week One)
(First, I’m so glad to see that someone has created this project. Not sure how often I’ll participate, but I glad to see other people writing on the topics. The PBP was a fun way to become exposed to more writers, and I hope this will continue, so yay!!) New Year’s Resolutions have never been…
Looking ahead: plans for 2015
My plan for 2015? Writing. Have I mentioned writing as of yet? Because, writing. 11. Laguz and Inguz: How do I work with my dreams? What seeds have I planted, and what have I sacrificed to nourish them? How do I work with my dreams? Well, what are my dreams right now? Independence — I would love…
Keeping it Real — Proofreading? Sometimes I suck at it.
All in all I think I do pretty well. My proofreading habits are: write the thing. Read the thing. Make changes. Read the thing out loud for story time. Make the changes. Read the thing again. Submit/release/whatnot. This month’s installment of my Story Subscription made it out of my inbox to yours with way more…
