Reviewed: “Heightened Senses” in Taste Test: K9

“It’s all about two very different characters that come together, with both taking different things out of the relationship and it works fantastically. Very enjoyable!”
-Kris, Dark Diva Reviews (read the review here.)

[writing notes] The Writing To-Do

You’ll notice that my to-do list got a lot shorter. This isn’t because anything got done (other than the massive edits for Becoming Us), but rather because I think I need this list to reflect my current priorities. Right now, my priorities are these things.

Excerpt: Training Wheels (Pit Road 8)

Sunday morning, just past dawn. The birds were singing. Denny refrained from picking up a stone and whipping it into the nearest tree. Goddamn things, being all cheerful. They could cut it out.

All sorts of things to revise, on the To Do list, but Anah and I are focusing on getting Tatterdemalion ready to ship out. We’ve basically torn it apart and put it back together, again, and it feels really good to be reading it through and see how much of a difference it’s made. I’m [...]
