In Which I Say a Naughty Word

In my morning ramble through the minefield that is the internet I noticed there was a little bit of excitement about some new app that cleans up eBooks. Cleans up as in removes naughty words.

My initial response was a hearty, "meh." Some people just have no tolerance for anything outside their comfort zone. And while that's incredibly sad, it's not really worth burning anything over.

But the more I thought about it, the more I realized, it actually is kind of a big deal. It's at least worth a few words on my part.

Happy Halloween

So I promised a special Halloween post. Here it is. It's an incredibly short excerpt from my work in progress "Wind & Snow." While trying to decide on an appropriate Halloween post I remembered this scene. It features a totally new character in the middle of something awful. That's all the explanation you're gonna get. Enjoy.

Plans for November

NaNoWriMo is almost here! I'm sure the majority of people couldn't really care less about that, but I do. I love the self imposed deadline, the mad rush to finish a first draft. There's even an imagined sense of community when you consider that people all over the world are in the same rush as you.

Be Good

There was some excitement around the office today. It was one of those things that are almost impossible to actually accept as real. The street our company calls home was shutdown by the police.

We had swat, snipers, the whole shebang. A man had been fired from a company in the area and had locked himself in his car in a parking lot down the street. He had a gun. His aim was suicide.

Another Share

So it has been a really, really long time since I've posted anything. Sorry. To make it up to you, here is another sample from Wind & Snow. That's my working title right now, don't think I've shared that on here yet. 

I'm not going to give any context to this scene. That would ruin all the fun. If you've read any of my other sneak peeks you'll recognize the character in this scene. And just be aware that I almost cut this scene in half to leave it on the world's worst cliff hanger, but I didn't. You're welcome.

Enjoy
