It’s done.  Arc 1 of Diamond Crier is officially written in its horrible first draft form.  Kaputsnick.  Finito.  My hand is ready to fall off.  I even broke my writing rules to finish this piece.  I usually write Monday through Thursday in the evenings, giving myself a break from Friday through Sunday so I don’t [...]

I’ve convinced myself I’ve opened Pandora’s Box with Diamond Crier.  I’ve given myself all the room in the world to work with this story.  Personally, I prefer confines.  It gives me set walls in which to work.  Without them the inundation of ideas can be overwhelming and counterproductive to my writing since the influx keeps [...]

Still wondering what the word “Previ” is? Well look no further than the lovely Cirellio who got it right on the first go!
