Welcome to Action-Reaction » Action-Reaction is the home of my writing. While I do keep an online writing journal, I still want to put some choice pieces of writing up on this site for the public. I'll also be keeping updates on the progress of my novels, and perhaps put up excerpts from time to time.

Updates »
May 17th, 2011:
Oh yeah...my webpage. Well I don't have any writing updates to do but I do have the following:

Looking for some beautiful well-made jewelry at affordable prices? How about all that and REALLY great deals, like buy 2, get your most expensive item at half price? Plus up to three more items, also all at half price? The most expensive items are automatically the ones with prices slashed in half! What other places do you know will do that? Worried about the quality? Don't be! I already own seven pieces and love every one of them. Plus, there's a lifetime guarantee, so if anything happens, you can easily get it repaired or replaced.   Place your order before May 22nd, 2011, and you can be a part of this deal! Got your interest? Good, here's what to do next!

Go to this website: http://www.liasophia.com/sites/ritasgems/catalog-intro   Type in Michelle Forde into the hostess name area, and click on my name in the pop-up. Then you can go searching through by catalog, or by jewelry type! If you've browsed Lia Sophia before, and know what you want, you can type it in the product search box and add it to your cart that way. You can process and pay online, or you can call Rita Richardson to place the order directly. Her numbers and email are listed on the bottom of the website.   If you have anyone you'd like to share this with, please do. The order deadline is May 22nd 2011, but there'll be another chance to order in July!

Nano is over! And hey, I won! I actually hit 50K on the 19th during the write-in in the NYPL. The book's not finished yet, but I made some incredible headway. I can get back to reading things now. Speaking of which, THE SPIRIT EATER. If you haven't read it, GO. GET IT. NOW. Bitten by Books is having a contest for the release of the Spirit Eater, the 3rd book in the Legend of Eli Monpress series. Please, go check it out!

November 11th, 2010:
I hit 30k words in NaNo this past Monday. I'm incredibly far ahead right now, and it's a great feeling. So I fgured to celebrate, I'd put up an excerpt on this site. It's unbetaed, unedited, and really rough, but have it anyway. It's on the excerpts page. As always, you can read more at my writing journal.

November 1st, 2010:
Wow. I wrote over 5,000 words in the first three hours of NaNo. Needless to say, I'm excited. I took a break to upload two short stories to the drabbles page. For more steady nano updates, please see my writing journal or alternately, watch/add me at actionreaction on the nanowrimo.org site.

October 28th, 2010:
I'm well on my way with my NaNo prep. I updated my projects page, changing the title of one project, and adding a new one that I had the idea for last night. I won't be tackling it until after Oneiric Chronicles are done, but I have my notes. For more steady nano updates, please see my writing journal.

October 14th, 2010:
So uh, I'll be doing NaNoWriMo this year, and so I've added a few more links and the whole resources page. I may not be updating much for a while. Nano will eat my brain.

October 9th, 2010:
I've been adding a few more links steadily, but not too much more in the way of updates. I'm still working on getting the resources page up.

September 23rd, 2010:
I went ahead and added the novel excerpts page, plus two excerpts, as well as the projects page. I added a few of my favorite links on the aptly titled links page, so next up is resources. At some point.

September 22nd, 2010:
I uploaded all the poems I don't mind sharing. There won't be much more added to that page for a while; I'm not very prolific where it comes to poetry. I've also put up a drabble and an essay. More to come soon!

September 20th, 2010:
I'm revamping the hell out of my page again. I'm nixing nearly everything, and just making this a personal site about my writing. It's going to be a portfolio into my writing, a sort of unofficial-official page all about me and my writing. This will be a bit of a work in progress.
