It’s worse than I Thought
The illness is hanging with me. I’m going in for more testing between now and April 4th to see how bad it really is. I’ll keep in touch, but slower than I would like because I have so little energy lately. On a different note: Visa has finally come forward saying that they had nothing … Read more
Moving soon, I hope—SO tired
I have my own domain now. http://www.ravenmarlow.com. After it’s up, I’ll double post everything for a month or two, but then this site will retire, probably. I’m so tired from staring at a computer screen all day for work and then all night for homework (read all my classwork tonight for one week and part … Read more
Indulging in Guilty Pleasures
Anita Blake rescued me from Reality TV. Everywhere I looked, someone was living in the wilderness or eating something horrible, or BOTH! Worse still were the cameras following celebrities to show their “exciting” lives. One of my favorite past times suddenly made me want to pass out! I met a new friend who read a … Read more
Can You Save the Faeries?
Here’s a little something I’m playing with. Let me know what you think! You’ve heard it said that when children say they don’t believe in fairies that their lights go out. But they don’t die. Oh no, they don’t die. When a fairy’s light goes out, they become nasty dark fairies. They miss the light … Read more

New Picture – Writing Prompt
The new picture above actually came with this theme, and I think it’s very lovely, so I decided to make a writing prompt out of it. My story is below, what is yours? A young couple took a walk just in the morning dawn. The morning mist still hung in a thick curtain over the … Read more
Should I use KDP Select?
Well this may be a bit late, but it’s been on my mind a lot and I thought I’d comment on it. The TOS for KDP Select is here. I think few authors realize that there are so many limitations to this KDP Select, blinded by dollar $igns. The Pros: Yes, you get put … Read more
Happy Holidays!
I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. My holidays are a bit quiet this year, but that’s not always a bad thing. It is taking some getting used to, but I’ve learned to like quiet over these past months. I am still working on the book; however I will be slower to post for some … Read more
NaNoWriMo Project – Day 30 is here!
Woot! 10195 words!! Granted not the 50k I had hoped for, but having to take that second job and getting maybe 5 hrs of sleep a night (in two 2.5 hr shifts) hurt badly. I still consider this a HUGE victory because of working two jobs and being in school part-time, because of my lack … Read more
NaNoWriMo Project – Chapter Four – first draft
CHAPTER 4 I could see that parts of the house were still standing. Reena’s quarters were untouched because they stood separately from the main house. The more formal living areas were still mostly standing, except for a few cracks and burn marks on the walls. Finally my foot touched the drive and I ran … Read more
