Whiplash

On July 26, 2012 By Cathryn Louis

Something new has appeared, exploding my carefully managed elements of change into chaos. Did I go looking for it? Did it fall in my lap? It doesn’t matter. However it got here, I have welcomed it. Now I have to tame the chaos it created; regain control of my journey down the yellow brick road [...]

Yellow and Curtains to Welching

On July 19, 2012 By Cathryn Louis

Follow the yellow brick road! Hopefully, I’ll fare better than the travelers who took the original one to Oz. As long as I avoid the poppy fields, it’s a win. The only question is whether there will be an audience beyond the curtain. Publishing statistics indicate that the most likely scenario is to pull back [...]

Hatin’ the Shades

On July 12, 2012 By Cathryn Louis

Lately, I’ve been awful at keeping promises to myself. That’s the problem with making them before I’ve given thought to a situation. This time, the promise I’ve broken is that I would stay out of the Fifty Shades of Grey debate. But – here I am talking about it. The ‘net – especially the blogosphere [...]

Dead Ostriches in the Bayou

On July 5, 2012 By Cathryn Louis

Back when IBM ruled the southern tip of San Jose, California, there was a tiny deli that had one of the best sandwiches in the universe. The sandwich was called the Avocado Undecided, and was composed of two thick slices of white bread, hand-made sun-dried tomato mayonnaise, bay shrimp and a whole sliced avocado. It was served open-faced, [...]

The Last TM

On June 28, 2012 By Cathryn Louis

I don’t want this to happen. I can’t tell down from up; up from down. Darkness surrounds me, the weight of it pressing hard on my chest. But darkness has no weight… It’s water! Immediately, I suppress the breath I was about to take. I have to get out – now. But which way [...]

Buckets, Kleenex & Never Again (Maybe)

On June 21, 2012 By Cathryn Louis

Last week, I cried so much that I couldn’t see straight. Oh wait – I couldn’t see straight because I didn’t have my glasses. Scratch that. Let’s just say I cried buckets. Not because I had to start over with the narrative for my new story. Though with 10K words already written, having to go [...]

Story Killers

On June 14, 2012 By Cathryn Louis

My new work in progress (wip) is on a hit list. In the story, the heroine chases and pins down especially slippery pieces of information. I know who the assassins are – search engines. They have become so ubiquitous that the name of one of them is now the verb for using them all (“Google [...]

Get My Pantz (Or Game?) On!

On June 7, 2012 By Cathryn Louis

I started to share another rant about my characters, but Zzzz…. – boring! They’re still misbehaving, but so what? They’re revealing a number of sources of conflict and forcing dramatic irony to materialize. After eighteen months of learning that I needed to rewrite, then learning how to rewrite and finally – actually doing it, I [...]

To Market, To Market – I Need a Great Plan!

On May 17, 2012 By Cathryn Louis

Funny that sometimes one has to slide down the rabbit hole in order to see the light. Or in my case, jump off a cliff and grow wings on the way down. So much more hair-raising that way. I love that quote! It’s so ‘me’. And so far, I’ve still got all nine [...]

On May 10, 2012 By Cathryn Louis

It needs sprucing, pruning, polishing, and I’m taking time out right now get it all bright and shiny again.First up – my authors lists.
