...I'd like a fucking do-over, please, and yes, that includes my birthday. If you stalk follow me on the interwebz, you may be well aware of the month I had...and I didn't even share it ALL with the world. Oh yes, there's so much more, but I won't go into it because it's a private… Continue reading Dear June

The Gallbladder of Doom
...may be coming for you. In early 2010, right after I'd moved down to Tucson and in with my friend Heather a.k.a. Kitty, the Gallbladder of Doom struck her a month after it'd struck her sister CJ Redwine, and for two months, I took care of her. Since then, the Gallbladder of Doom has come… Continue reading The Gallbladder of Doom
Adventures in Comiconland
...when I'm not actually working the event. Phoenix Comicon was the last weekend in May this year and I had a blast, even though my body was basically all "fuck you" after walking for two days straight. Originally, I was only supposed to go for one day, but my friend Gary Wilson over at Nightstalker… Continue reading Adventures in Comiconland
Deep P.O.V. Part One—What IS It? How Do We DO It?
For those of you wondering why I pull what I do from your books when I edit them...it apparently has a name I knew nothing about. LOL I call it something else....
You Might Be a Writer If…
I’m dying over here….
You might be a writer if….
Your desk is covered in Post-It notes, and your phone, tablet, and laptop have “NEW STORY IDEAS” notes in them.
Enjoy Kristen’s….
A lot of “stuff” has been going on in my life lately. Hard stuff. Heavy stuff. The kind of stuff that just makes me want to write massacre scenes….except I am so brain dead I had to google how to spell “massacre.”
Masicker? Missucker?
WHAT AM I DOING???? *breaks down sobbing*
I am supposed to be an adult an expert okay, maybe functionally literate. Fine, I give up! I have nothing left to saaaaayyyyyy. I am all out of woooords *builds pillow fort*.
I figured it’s time for a bit of levity. Heck, I need a good laugh. How about you guys?
We writers are different *eye twitches* for sure, but the world would be SO boring without us. Am I the only person who watches Discovery ID and critiques the killers?
You are putting the body THERE? Do you just WANT to go to prison? Why did you STAB…

Vegas, Baby
Recently, I drove up to Las Vegas for the Wizard World Comicon to work with Juliette Terzieff and wrangle Michael Rooker again for a weekend, which I do not do often enough. Seriously. Working with them is always a blast of fun and craziness.
Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
In which I discuss the Game of Thrones episode that people are freaking out over.
Baking Powder Bread
I may need to try this recipe, with a few modifications for my allergic-to-the-entire-world diet, of course.
In my journey of bread making, I came across a recipe that I’m dying to share with you for a number of reasons. It’s a really simple recipe-and it contains no yeast. Because it has no yeast, it takes less preparation time-great for working moms! And it contains a potato-which just sounds fun to say. Actually, I learned from research, and from making this recipe, that replacing a portion of the flour in your bread with potatoes can result in a softer and moister loaf. Who knew?
The recipe comes from the New Dr. Price Cookbook, published in 1921 by the Royal Baking Powder company-which explains why there is so much baking powder in the recipe! Baking powder, of course, serves as the leavening agent and while the amount may seem large, it really does work. Here’s the recipe
Ingredients
• 4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt

So I’m Allergic to the ENTIRE World
...and I don't even know where to begin with this. So if you're my friend on Facebook, you might have noticed my recent news and are aware of the hives I've suffered for nine weeks running now. In short, I'm allergic to...uh...the entire world. Not really, but it sure as fuck feels like it after the… Continue reading So I’m Allergic to the ENTIRE World
Ten Ways to Tighten Your Writing & Hook the Reader

When I used to edit for a living, I earned the moniker The Death Star because I can be a tad ruthless with prose. Today I hope to teach you guys to be a bit ruthless as well. Before we get started, I do have a quick favor to ask. Some of you may know that I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so I’ve taken on our dojo’s blog to see if we can try out new and fun content and am using the moniker Dojo Diva.
I posted about how hard it is to begin and the fears that can ever keep us from starting. The way others try to stop us from doing anything remarkable. I’d love to hear your thoughts and stories, so I hope you will stop by and get the discussion going.
