Originally posted on Musings of a Mystery Novelist:
Yet I’m determined (compelled?) to write and post something here each week, even if I don’t have anything substantial to share. After all the purpose of this blog (or at least the initial brainwave) was to document (to a certain degree) my journey whilst writing my novel(s),…

Schnikes! TONIGHT (Sat. Aug. 1st) marks 13 weeks until Halloween!

Something New – Part 8

Originally posted on Dellani Oakes:
After saving Liat from Irving, he invites her to share catering leftovers in his trailer, and run lines after. Liat graciously accepts. They ran their scenes a few times, talking about how to say the lines. An hour and a half later, they decided to call it a night. “I’ll…
