Hi all, just wanted to refer you on over to the blogspot: http://diannesalerni.blogspot.com/2012/01/first-impressions-untitled-ya-but-its.html Dianne Salerni posted the first maybe 250 words of the YA novel I started for NaNo in November.  People seem to like it!  It’s got the whole Mothman-creepy vibe going on.  Please check out her awesome blog and comment on my writing…for those of you who liked… Read More

Shaka-POW!

I can’t really think of any other words for this post. I’m giddy with excitement, like I’m in love for the first time. Why? I can’t stop writing!
