Laura “Munchkin” Lewis's Blog

Things have been crazy on my end with the writings X3 I've joined the forums for The Furry Writer's Guild. I've also been working on beta reads and edits for friends' stories. I have a possible novella-in-progress on the backburner, my first adult short story trying to crawl to the back burner, and a few finicky characters to sort out for the RF anthology. I also might be editing a couple of anthos in the not-so-distant future. So much to look forward to, and when I'm not pulling my hair out over it, I'm loving it, promise XD

Rainfurrest was a blast. We auctioned off a copy of Furtual Horizons with signatures from all the authors involved. Prints sold out by mid-Saturday, but they can still be bought at FurPlanet for just $10. The panels were a lot of fun and I'll definitely be attending next year.

I also had the wonderful fortune of meeting a lot of talented authors, both well-established and up-and-coming. Quite a number of projects are being tossed my way beyond the RF anthology, so this might be a very busy year for me!

I also finally caved in and made a twitter account. I'm hoping to do a freebie on there at least once a week, but we'll see how that goes with work. You can find me @MunchsizedRants.

Today begins Rainfurrest 2014! During this four day event, I'll be speaking on "There is no 'I' in Team: Collaborative Writing", "Writing 101 (part 2)", and "The Dreaded Mary Sue". I'll also be one of the authors writing my worst at "Flash Fiction Jam (Bad Fiction)".

Tonight though will be all about the book release. I finally get to see my words in print!

If you happen to find yourself wandering through RF this weekend, you can stumble across me either in one of the two rooms where the writing panels are being held or stalking the dealer's den to add to my badge collection.

Hope to see you there!

I'll be honest, I never thought I'd live to see the day my name was listed as an honest to goodness author. In a world of self-publishing and fanfics and 'anyone can be a writer!' mentality, I know the title Author doesn't mean much to folks these days. For me though, in my own little world, it means everything. It's my dreams blossoming into reality. It's my hopes coming into fruition. It's the biggest steps I've taken thus far in what I hope will be a long journey into a world of true sado-masochism: writing.

Will you join me on this crazy journey?
