Drafting: Rabbits and Hats
October 11, 2023
Sometimes, I sit down to write, and I feel overwhelmed. How can I write anything? How can I create? How can I make words that make a story that will make sense to others? It seems impossible. Sure, I’ve done it before. Sure, I’ve plotted it. Sure, I need to know what I have to […] [Read more.]
Waiting on Edits
August 30, 2023
Last week I was camping (yay!) and then had to return to push hard to get my draft in to my editor. Now it’s with my editor. Today I took most of the day off for doctor’s appointments. My kids begin school on Thursday, which is a huge relief. I need to dig into some […] [Read more.]

Final Pass
August 15, 2023
Today I’m going through, rereading each line, checking for small errors, continuity, seeing if I can tighten sentences, etc. Since the chapter is due tomorrow, end of day, I’m in good shape. As I check, I’m thinking ahead to the next chapter, which I’ll start soon, wondering if any modifications need to be made to […] [Read more.]
Code Revisions
August 14, 2023
Friday ended up being a wash. I accidentally dropped an entire can of dark green paint down the stairs and it exploded. EXPLODED. I still have paint on me. And in my hair. So while I got the majority of the content revisions done, I spent a good three hours cleaning that up so my […] [Read more.]

Edits + Summer
August 10, 2023
Today I received feedback from my editor and another RC friend. I’ve already responded to the artists, etc., so now I need to write the spoilers and get started on the edits. I mostly worked on catching up on some asset description yesterday so I still have the emotes, etc., to assign. I realized when […] [Read more.]
Between Edits
August 9, 2023
Every morning I start my day by replying to the artists, providing feedback or acknowledgment so that they can continue to the next stage. I look through my messages so that I can work with my story manager and other people at RC, whether it’s translators, promo, etc. Today I need to respond to my […] [Read more.]

Pregnancy loss: Don’t say the a-word. She might crack.
December 6, 2016
