Mad Men

Posted on March 10, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

The update? I’ve been sick for the past week. Just a cold, but it’s sapped my productivity. The one good thing that came out of it was realizing my WIP is way too complicated. I decided to cut two of … Continue reading →

Plotting to Death

Posted on February 24, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

What Did I Do This Week?

Posted on February 10, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

Ehrm… It’s transition time. I’ve sent one project out to beta readers, finished polishing a short and sent it to a publisher, and started writing a new story that will be either novel or novella length. I find myself planning … Continue reading →
