Selfieish

Posted on October 21, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

Ummm…Er…~cough~

Posted on October 14, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

A busy week, but I specifically added the goal of not letting writing-related stuff trump actual-writing stuff more than half the week. It kinda did. Yes, I had important stuff that needed to be done, but in the end if … Continue reading →

About ten years ago, before we had kids, I took hubby down to the area in southern Connecticut where I lived and worked as a nanny back in the early nineties. I knew the kids had not only grown, but … Continue reading →

Real Life

Posted on March 18, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor

Posted on December 2, 2014 by AmyBeth Inverness

Huzzah! I reached the 50k mark on my NaNoWriMo story in the wee hours of the morning on November 30, with about 20 hours to spare. Since then, I’ve switched gears from writing stuff to writing related stuff. That meshes with … Continue reading →

A Storm in the Rocky Mountains

Posted on November 11, 2014 by AmyBeth Inverness

Steamypunk, Lunar Shorts, and NPH Goes Bollywood

Posted on November 6, 2014 by AmyBeth Inverness

And how are these three things related, you ask? Well, they aren’t. They’re just what’s occupying my brain today. That, and preparing for my youngest daughter’s birthday party while chastising my teenage daughter for burning through all her lunch money … Continue reading →
