Oh my gosh it’s February already. Here I am still working my way through all the stuff that needs to happen to get New Romance out to all of you. For now that means biting my nails while the beta readers have a go at it. I’m working on the cover design and hope to have a cover reveal soon.
In the meantime, I’m also fretting about how to keep my life together,
It’s a new year. That means it’s Resolution Season. Time to commit to things that just aren’t going to happen, like making a habit of going to the gym and not eating chocolate (yeah, I already screwed up on that one).
Actually, things are a little different this year. In addition to writing, I’m also starting another new business because the writing just isn’t bringing in the funds. That means that I’m going to have less time for writing.
People ask how I come up with my characters.

Here is one tool that I use for both.
The 30 Day Character Interview: I answer only one question per day for each character because it gives me plenty of time to think, for the characters and worlds to marinate in the back of my mind while I do other things.

The rules this time were:

Hey folks,
I know I haven’t been around much recently. I’ve been busy with my first Hearth and Forge story: Alley Cats
While on a mission to catch the squirrel who teased him through the window, Rowr’s people moved without him. Determined to find them, he stumbles, hungry and filthy, into a back alley owned by Maow, a queen with the desire to live alone.
This piece was written as part of a Writer’s duel with Milli Gilbert. You can see her piece at Hairballs of Genious.
The rules were simple
