Posted on October 21, 2015 by Silver James

Today’s #1lineWed theme is to post the last line of the chapter. Since I’m such a rule-breaker, I’ll give you the last paragraph of a few of the chapters (remember this is draft mode still, kay?). Chapter 1 – Standing … Continue reading →

Monday Means More Coffee

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Silver James

There was a weekend. I know this because I had an OKRWA meeting and it’s only on Saturdays. And there was baseball. Of the 14U variety. I even ended up keeping score during Sunday morning’s game when the catcher’s mom/scorekeeper … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words – First Lines

Posted on October 14, 2015 by Silver James

Argh! And FLAIL! And all that angsty writerly stuff. I really thought I get THE DEVIL’S CUT finished yesterday–first draft anyway. Then I hit chapter 26. Which is the big battle between good and evil. And I discovered that I’d … Continue reading →

Monday Shuffle

Posted on October 12, 2015 by Silver James

Monday. Again. I don’t know why it surprises me that this day pops up every seven days. Weird how that works, huh? *rolls eyes* I’ve got a bad case of the “Don’t Wanna’s.” Don’t wanna write. Don’t wanna market. Don’t … Continue reading →

Friday Sinema: Get ‘Em Up

Posted on October 9, 2015 by Silver James

I watched a lot of videos trying to pick one for today. I went through almost the whole playlist for THE DEVIL’S CUT but man…while the songs fit the mood and scenes at various points in the book, the videos? … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words: Something to Talk About

Posted on October 7, 2015 by Silver James

Today’s #1LineWed is all about dialogue. Characters talking means telling rather than showing. That’s a good thing, as opposed to that whole show is better than tell thing. Info dumps (telling) is not good. Bringing out info/back story via conversation? … Continue reading →

The First Monday of October

Posted on October 5, 2015 by Silver James

Doesn’t the Supreme Court come back into session today? Or something. Yes, it’s Monday. Again. Why do they keep plaguing us? Of course, I worked most of the weekend so this could be Wednesday for all my brain knows. Let’s … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words: Alliteration Always Appears

Posted on September 30, 2015 by Silver James

KOD’s theme for #1lineWed over on Twitter today is “Alliteration.” Yeah…I don’t really do that. At least not back-to-back words. There might be a spread-out version in some of my sentences. As an update to THE DEVIL’S CUT, I think … Continue reading →

Monday After

Posted on September 28, 2015 by Silver James

Who saw the Blood Moon lunar eclipse last night? Why am I not “smart” enough to get a sale set up before these big planetary events that play right into the hands of my Moonstruck Wolves. Ah well. Maybe in … Continue reading →
