Welcome to my blog. I’m Rose, your host of this…show? Yes, because as writers we’re told repeatedly to show not tell. So, I’m starting this little “show” to let the characters in my upcoming book, ya know, pop in. Hang out. Chat. Like an episode of Friends where the voices in my head actually live down the hall. And just poke their nose into my home from time to time. I decided to call it: Tough Guys & Women of Steel.
ANYWAY, if you made it to this page, the “Scribblings” blog page, I’m hoping it’s because you found me via Twitter or Discord, maybe my info on Ao3. Facebook? I’m running out of guesses. I do hope you’ll send me a note and tell me about yourself – how you got here and what you’re most interested in.
If you like the voices in my head, er, CHARACTERS, I hope you’ll opt to sign up for my VIP mailing list! We’ll have some free continuations and side stories (ebook and audiobook formats) as well as updates on some of my longer works – coming soon. From time to time, I’ll have merchandise to give away as well.
I think the hardest part of blogging is that I’m used to having to talk about everything from cigars I don’t smoke to tech I don’t operate, and sports teams I don’t watch (I do operate some tech and do watch some sports) – tis the life of a cyber sales consultant after all. So, when you ask me what I want to talk about – it’s probably about how silly my children are or one of the stories I’m working on…or just how frustrating (and expensive!) the whole self-publishing thing is.
I assure you, my children are very silly.
Anyway spaghettio, that’s more or less what you can expect. Riveting? Eh, probably not. But if we’re friends, you can poke your nose in here any time and say hello.
I think tomorrow I’ll get the first “Tough Guys & Women of Steel” character profile posted. I didn’t intend to go in order, but, maybe we should…. We could start with Dash. Even though the first one I wrote was for Joe. Hmmmm…
Frank: Why don’t you let the dame go first? A guy like Dash needs someone to keep him in line–
Dash: You wanna keep jawing? I’d be glad to introduce my fist to your face.
Frank: Nah. We’ve already met a time or thirty-two. You might want to be nicer. There’s new people around.
Dash: What the hell do I care? I don’t. The author needs to get her shit together and finish this story. I’ve got other cases to solve.
Frank: I…uh, never mind. I still think the dame should go first. Maybe introduce Dash last. Or, maybe never.
However you got here, thanks for stopping by!
Love,
~Rose
