ROW80: Sunday update

On By Kim KnoxIn ROW80, Writing8 Comments

I’m not as far as I would like on Simulacrum, mainly as I got thwacked by 2 bunnies Thursday and Friday.

So I wrote about 1k on Simulacrum, an 1100 word outline, with snippets of scenes for an SF erotic rom and 1k on a post apoc m/m story.  Seriously, me writing m/m? It scares me as I’m terrified of getting it wrong, of making one of the heroes a woman with dangly bits… I blame ChrisQ and MargieL for sending me hypno rays with boy love attached.  *shakes fist* lol

The rest of today will be devoted to laundry and Simulacrum…not necessarily in that order…

Six Sentence Sunday: Kingdoms

Yes, this has also been a while.  Seriously 2011? New leaf.

So,  just for Hailey Edwards – who is also a member of the Men Who Wear Leather Skirts Fanclub – here’s the first paragraph of Kingdoms.

The Beast was watching her again.

Through the smoke of candles, the bustle and noise of the attending slaves, the endless talk of her councilmen, he leaned against a smooth-stoned pillar and watched her.  His dark eyes were unblinking and heavy with something she couldn’t name.  Hunger?  No the Beast had his fill of any woman in the palace compound.  It was more akin to…anticipation.

Are you ready for a leathered-up man…?

ROW 80: Wednesday Update

On By Kim KnoxIn Writing6 Comments

Birthdays and a lingering case of the bleurghs has slowed me down a bit but since Monday I’ve got about 1400 words on Simulacrum, a smidge of words on Kindgoms (a wip I should not be working on, but Ladon… *happy sigh*) and 400 words today on Frequency (a wip I should be writing a bit later in the month).  I found a fab new app for my ipad – iA Writer – that modifies the ipad’s keyboard and makes dialogue and moving around the text actually, you know, possible.  It was all tappity tapped out in 45 minutes in the coffeeshop.  My ipad now has a distinct latte aroma…

So, I’m happy with my progress the past couple of days.

Happy New Year!

Yes, I admit to being sluggy towards the end of 2010 with keeping this blog updated. It was my bad. Sorry.

Stuff…was going on.

Anyway, to get up to date with me:

I sold a Quickie to Ellora’s Cave called Magnetism, the first story in Planetary Bodies.  I’m writing a series of linked books.  Eeep, I’m so nervous about that. I’m normally a stand alone book writer.  The second book, Friction, should be finished soon, and I’m having fun scribbling down stuff for the third book, Current.  Yep, I stole my titles from terms in physics  – the other two in the series being Fusion and Frequency.  I never quite realised how lewd the science could be… 😀

So after reading this article in the Guardian this morning, Abandon your resolutions. Stop looking for your soulmate. Reject positive thinking. I’m going to promise to change little things and garner results by inertia <–I love that idea!
