Bony Fingered Limbs: April 2014
http://bonyfingeredlimbs.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 25, 2014. Using Your Dreams for Inspiration. We all dream. I'm not talking about wanting to be a published author with a great following, or anything like that. I'm talking about when you are asleep and your subconscious is working for you. Most of our dreams, we don't remember, and that's just the nature of them, but the ones we do remember? They can be our inspiration for great things. It's working out beautifully, and I just wanted to share that little tip! And if you missed it, a few da...

Sunday, May 25, 2014. Micro Edits Don't Have to Take Forever. My view as I edit, today. When you are editing, and you're making little changes here and there, pushing your timeline back some, moving these details over here. how do you make sure you get everything? And as I go back, I realize a lot of little comments were made that now need to be changed or removed, or moved somewhere else. But how to find them all? Now, back to the editing table! Links to this post. Tuesday, May 6, 2014. Unless you are m...

http://bonyfingeredlimbs.blogspot.com/2014/04/sneak-peek-gondii-my-zombie-novel.html
Tuesday, April 22, 2014. Gondii, my zombie novel. Prologue, just for fun. I'm in editing on this novel and hope to have it up and ready to go within the year. It's well on its way. Content warning: there is drug use and some language in this section. 8220;You can always eat more if you want, but you can't make them stop early, so you want to be careful. Especially since you guys are virgins,” he smirked up at them as he set aside his own dose, which he made larger than any of theirs. 8221; Mike cried and...

Bony Fingered Limbs: June 2014
http://bonyfingeredlimbs.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 16, 2014. Editing. the endless uphill climb. 7 Falls, in Colorado, looking down the first flight. The uphill editing climb seems to go forever and ever. When you get to the top of the stairs, you look down, and are amazed at how far you've come, but you don't want to turn the other way, because you know there is still a lot more to do. It can be maddening, frustrating, and feel like it's taking absolutely forever. 7 Falls, same platform, looking up flight #2. It never ends. I know how easy i...

Bony Fingered Limbs: Kill your darlings!
http://bonyfingeredlimbs.blogspot.com/2014/05/kill-your-darlings.html
Sunday, May 4, 2014. I say "kill your darlings," but what does that mean, exactly? I'm in editing on a fun project, and I had a moment where I wasn't sure if something WAS a darling, and therefore wasn't sure if it needed to die, after all. So here I am, fleshing it out, like I always do. It probably doesn't belong. That cute little blip you threw in about not cleaning counters and chairs with the same rag? It needs to die. And I can look at that paragraph later, to decide what needs to happen to it.

http://bonyfingeredlimbs.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 31, 2012. You can do this. Repeat it to yourself if you worry. If you are staring at the blank screen, waiting to figure out what words come next. If you can't think of that perfect word you need just now. If you worry, know you are not alone. Everyone worries. That it won't be good enough. That you won't finish. That you'll get sick or distracted or stranded on a desert island with nothing more to write with than a stick and the sand. You're covered. If you get distracted, unplug&...

http://bonyfingeredlimbs.blogspot.com/2012/01/orions-belt-sand-palace-challenge.html
Friday, January 20, 2012. Orion's Belt, Sand Palace Challenge. I wrote this last night and fell fast asleep just before I could get it up here. I didn't know if it was actually done or not until I went to re-read it just now, and turns out I DID finish in time! I just fell asleep before I could post it. Not that it matters to anyone but me, since I don't count my own stories in the challenges. anyway! This is for the one that ended early this morning: Sand Palace. Anyway. Shutting up now. *nod*.
