My daughter Rebecca and I get together every Sunday to talk. Knit. Show our goofy cats to each other. We do this online, because we currently live about 600 miles apart. But we also talk about writing. A lot. And at one point a couple months ago, we were having this really animated discussion and bouncing ideas around on the … Continue reading →
What I thought would take one day has instead taken over two weeks and more than six butt-in-chair fully focused hours a day each day of those two weeks. And I know that I will have introduced some new bugs in fixing the old bugs. It happens. ALWAYS. But I have to quit now. HAVE to. This is as good … Continue reading →
Back in May I relocated my Dreaming the Dead manuscript. This morning, while putting together my July Patreon bonus for my patrons, I realized a lot of the folks who might be interested might still be reading here. So just a quick note. ALL my Patreon patrons this month get the first SEVEN chapters of the first draft of Dreaming … Continue reading →
So… here it is Friday morning, July 6, and I have been working steadily for six hours a day on the bug-hunts for Vipers’ Nest every day but Monday… Granted, as I’m getting into the bug hunts from my later folks, I’m getting a lot of repeat finds.

I spent the morning writing fiction and putting together the rewards for my patrons. And I’ve done a post on the Patreon site for everyone. Today was my first day back to work after starting to prep for Hurricane Irma, and I came back to a lot of emails with questions about Patreon, and what I’m doing, so I’m going … Continue reading →
At the request of a number of my fiction readers, I’ve put this together: https://www.patreon.com/hollylisle I’ve explained the whys and hows there. I’m hopeful about this being my path to getting back to full-time fiction writing (4 hours / day). If you take a look, thank you very much. If you let someone else know about this, double thanks. If … Continue reading →
TUESDAY UPDATE: I’m not crazy about where this is going… So I spent a couple hours this morning letting folks who needed to know how to stay in touch. Holly’s Writing Classes members: LOG IN then go here, especially if you’re also in the path. I’m not going to be writing an HTWAS lesson this week. Not going to be … Continue reading →
