I'm an author of magical realism, historical fiction, and historical fantasy, and love to chat about the creative process, words and language, myths and symbols, folklore and history. The Word-Hoard is a podcast that gives me the chance to share forgotten, funny, and unusual words with you, every week.

This week, Heather, Rima, and I talk about that frustrating and wonderful phenomenon: when supporting characters take over. Of course, I gotta be a little different, so I recorded a short podcast on the subject. Check it out! Check out Heather's take and Rima's take at their blogs! Don't forget: comment on any of our posts during this blog tour (even the old ones!) for a chance to win our 3 novels on March 22! Next week, we'll cover writing battle and fight scenes. See you then!

Wikipedia has an interesting rundown on the etymology of "superstition":The etymology is from the classical Latin superstitio, literally "a standing over", hence: "amazement, wonder, dread, especially of the divine or supernatural". The word is attested in the 1st century BC, notably in Cicero, Livy, Ovid, in the meaning of an unreasonable or excessive belief in fear or magic, especially foreign or fantastical ideas. By the 1st century AD, it came to refer to "religious awe, sanctity; a religious rite" more generally.I love Heather's definition - that ritual is based in love, and superstition in fear. And to that (neurotic) end, I do have a few superstitions about writing. I don't really get into the details of the plot of any story I'm working on with anyone until I'm well into it. Or, many times, with myself (hee). I'm guessing superstitions are as different as writers. I'll admit to being superstitious about the query process as well - that is, I'll say a little prayer over an envelope before I send it, I'll consider the day and whether or not it might be auspicious, and most of all, I don't tell anyone I know anymore about when I query and what the results are.So, what are your superstitions when it comes to writing and creating?Please, have some Stevie Wonder, live on Sesame Street. You're welcome.

Special podcast: THE PILGRIM GLASS on KFJC.As I mentioned in my last post, I read an excerpt of THE PILGRIM GLASS on KFJC this morning - and I got the news that it advanced to the ABNA semifinals, on-air! It's a rather long file - about 30 minutes - and I sound like a total dork :)Ann asked me to bring in a CD with a music bed, so I thought I'd share that info with you here. They're all Robin Guthrie and Harold Budd from After Night Falls.1. How Distant Your Heart2. Avenue of Shapes3. She Is My Strength4. Open Book5. And Then I Turned Away6. The Girl With Colorful ThoughtsLast, I must emphasize that the broadcast and this recording are copyright KFJC.
