Posted on February 29, 2012 by AmyBeth Inverness

Quick update for A Round of Words in 80 Days… Three weeks left. Although I’m not doing as much writing as I’d like, I’m OK with that for now. I think I need to eventually know what my yearly writing … Continue reading →

Back on the Wagon…Wait…or Off…

Posted on February 14, 2012 by AmyBeth Inverness

Posted on January 7, 2012 by AmyBeth Inverness

Soap?

Posted on November 18, 2011 by AmyBeth Inverness

Um, no… it’s S.O.P.A. as in the Stop Online Piracy Act. Good idea! In principle… but full of all kinds of problems that, frankly, I’m not going to go into here. One of the fun things about NaNoWriMo is that … Continue reading →

Unrealistic Dialogue

Posted on November 11, 2011 by AmyBeth Inverness

Oh, You’re Just Writing…

Posted on August 14, 2011 by AmyBeth Inverness
