    The Wishbone Conspiracy: 2204 words… AND a scene snippet

    Today I’m just posting a snippet because it surprised me. I have this big, scary, rich guy in the story who’s powerful and dangerous… and here’s where Cady meets him: [DISCLAIMER: This is copyrighted first draft. It may contain bugs, which WILL change in revision, and for which I do not need any notice of typos…

  • Snippet #2 from Longview 2: The Selling Of Suzee Delight

    I was planning on posting a snippet yesterday, but REAL LIFETM intruded, and while I got all my words, I never made it back to the blog. I got all my words again today, so at the the moment, Suzee Delight is sitting at 5888 words out of a planned 20,000. More than 25% done.…

  • Novel Snippet: Headless Dude In The Morning (from DTD)

    Got 1201 words this morning, and a scene that I just cannot keep to myself. This was not a planned part of the scene, which I also love. I was just looking for a nice place to end it, playing with the physics of my world, when I tripped over a Muse Bomb I planted…

  • Friday Snippets: From the Ghost Files

    I’m at a point where I really can’t post any more of the Moonroads book, at least not for a while. But I still want to do Friday Snippets. So I figured for your amusement and edification, I’d post snippets from the stuff I’ve had rejected but that I still intend to keep trying to…

  • Friday Snippet: from MOONROADS

    I wrote this and liked it. It’s a bit after the last snippet, but not so much that you can’t ellipse the missing action and figure out things have not gone well.

  • Friday Snippet: From MOONROADS

    This picks up about where the last snippet left off. The stuff that was in the last snippet has been totally rewritten. But still. Genna and her best friend Catri being chased by human-haters.

  • Friday Snippet: from THE RUBY KEY

    The cat has led our heroes to a cave mouth and instructed them to go inside, telling them they’ll know when they’ve gone far enough. And then, he’s gone off hunting. Genna picks up the story from there. NOTICE: This material is copyrighted, uncopyedited late draft, probably buggy. Do not quote or repost anywhere or…
