AJ was watching The Sandman this weekend, and a man who can’t die was truly impressed with Chimney’s. In the olden days of yore could you imagine all the ashes from the indoor fireplace? All the smoke? I don’t really think the next back story is something you are going to curl up around a…

We have got the options available for each characters first scene, AJ just has to write them. So we’ll start with them on Monday. We will leave each one on a precarious ledge and you’ll help us decide which way to go. AJ has some thoughts on the way we’d like to go. But we…

We decided that in order to give enough time for voting AJ would put together a party of five characters. One for each weekday of the week. We will roll initiative at the start of each week to determine who goes first. ae’Nyx’s back story is complete. AJ’s going to work on al’Zand’s and the…

So whenever AJ dips her toes into fantasy worlds we get stuck in this massive place of world building. It’s the number 1 reason why AJ uses the real world as a template for my stories. As a veteran of world building AJ knows that with less things to ‘make’ there is more time to…

We have a new passion. We are on this kick about a choose your own adventure RPG type book. AJ has the first book in the Lonewolf series called Flight from the Dark. Her first read through she did in the opening hook of the book. That was fun. AJ’s working on writing a program…

So AJ is retooling her platform again. I mentioned that yesterday. It’s not anything anyone would really notice, but AJ switched from Engage Bay to MailerLite for her email system. Mostly because that’s what they use at work, and it’s easier to use the same tools. But AJ learned all about edge computing through work…

AJ’s working on a series of websites. She updated her personal site, and now she’s working on her author platform site again. This isn’t a new bundle of joy per say, but AJ’s retooling it so that it fits better with her current stack of things. I have no idea what any of that means…

AJ’s trying out lots of new things and I’m disappointed in the results. So I’m coming back to at least posting once a day for the week. We might give ourselves some leeway on the weekends. No worrying about posts then so maybe AJ can keep this going — all part of the morning routine…

Every hero has an origin story. My mother was human. I was only half, and the day I sparked changed my whole life for better or for worse. AJ has been thinking about doing some stories to share with ‘paying’ customers. We could have done that with this one, but I think AJ would rather…

Sorry I’ve been awol. AJ’s been focusing on editing this week. And for the days I’ve missed. It’s not that I have nothing to say, just AJ got busy and forgot. Thus the focused bits lol. But today AJ received an email from WordPress that has a new monthly word prompt in it. They maybe…

So yesterday I made a quip about AJ making a lame book cover. It’s hardly lame. It isn’t the one we’ll use in the end, but we really like the look. For the final look AJ will probably a rendition of me on the cover and add some magic. But for NaNo it’s really cool.…

So it’s nearly April. Camp NaNoWriMo April is right around the corner. AJ has to plot out the next story in the book. I know I’ve discussed a bit about it before. But it’s an all new book. But not an all new concept. We won’t be pulling work from the previous stuff. The outline…

There was no editing factory today. It’s the Friday after a Grey’s Anatomy cross-over event with Station 19 where AJ had to watch Station 19 cause yeah someone went over a cliff in the last Grey’s episode and in Station 19 they saved him — had to watch that. It’s not always something AJ has…
-
Sorry. No idea how to use today’s word — football. I could beat it like a dead horse. More cliches? No? Alright. AJ hasn’t edited since Monday, hopefully we’ll take a crack at it here in a bit. AJ’s playing insanity mode on ME 2 and keeps dying so is probably on a break till…

Editing is boring. It’s good that it’s getting done but it can be so boring. I want to move on to book two. AJ says we have more planning to do. But we can’t do that if you are play Mass Effect! There is a disturbance in the force of my will power. I’m failing…

AJs PDF has a whole day outta order. It’s a good thing it was easy to recognize. Dates make things so much easier to determine at a glance. Hopefully none of the chapters are outta order. So there are now pages added to an outline that aughta help with finding the chapter we have to…

Last night AJ wrote the last bits of The Call of the Dragon. On to full edits. With red ink too. The book is shorter than the original by almost 90K words. The biggest reason being we took one chuck out completely as it didn’t lend to the story at all. And because of the…

AJ’s got some foreshadowing going on right now. I love the response this invokes in me. Important information was just alluded to. Information I’ll learn in a scene or two but also so much more I won’t know. So love it. And what’s more is that it’s staring me in the face. And I won’t…

So AJ shared the prologue with you. Yesterday she decided to get a better grip on the story and start off with Chapter 1 instead. But we didn’t want to lose those bits and bobs of information that help a reader understand that there is MORE at stake than just my life here. That it’s…

It’s a scary mother fucker sometimes — doubt is. (just like the plant from today’s photo prompt and used as our featured image). It has little teeth that grab hold and worry it’s way into the recesses of our mind causing undo anxiety and pain and a billion other things. That was AJ last night.…

So I was going to fake a post today and drop in words like I usually do. And while I’m still going to do that I wanted to share with you what you will get this Saturday. AJ follows quite a few people on writing and today we saw Abbie Emmon’s process on creating your…
