There's persistence in this business. It's how the majority of us writers get published. I was thinking about persistence today at work and how it feels oftentimes that I am busting my butt for nothing. I realized that this was the same exact feeling I got back in 2009 when I hadn't sold a book … Continue reading Dark Abyss

Shakespeare
So today Sarah Hoyt is talking about outlining over at her blog. It's a fascinating piece that really can help aspiring authors (if they're really looking for help rather than finding a medium to bitch to about how the publishing world is out to get them) and actually made me stop and think about my … Continue reading Shakespeare
Laying Waste To My Sanity
Exhaustion is laying waste to my sanity. This is exciting. I have named it Godzilla. Exhaustion, not my sanity. Now that I am (more or less) settled into my new place, I can start doing Shiny Book Review once more. I'll have to contact all those poor publishers who had been holding off sending us … Continue reading Laying Waste To My Sanity
Pic
Having some fun with the new phone. It takes pictures. I leave you with this for now.
Test Post
Just trying out my website features with my iPhone. I have it set up so that it looks decent if you follow this on a smart phone or tablet. This is sooooo dang cool.
Wraithkin Society
So I was doing some more thinking today about Wraithkin and the series as a whole, and comparing a lot of it to today's society. I wasn't pleased with my thought process. Someone asked on Facebook the other day "When did you decide to be straight?", in regards to an argument about whether or not … Continue reading Wraithkin Society
Memorably Bloody Death
I still don't have the internet at my new place, so for now I'm forced to come into work 4 hours early to get some work done. It's not bad (free drinks) but still, hard to work on some stuff while in public. The right ambience is hard to achieve while you're listening to some … Continue reading Memorably Bloody Death
In Need of Redshirts
"I gave everything, and all I got was a lousy 'Thank you for your service' letter." "Better than a closed casket funeral and a flag for momma." "...point. But would getting paid on time be too much to ask?" "And where you going to spend the money? I haven't seen any sign of a store … Continue reading In Need of Redshirts
Whoosh!
London's burning, and Tehran is asking for the London police to exercise restraint during the riots. ...seriously, I did not pull this off of The Onion. Irony aside (or is that not irony? I get so confused...), I'm currently bogged down with writing. Updating here is becoming difficult as I prepare to move into my … Continue reading Whoosh!
Today’s Word Is — DUH
Damn you, Larry Correia! My posts don't usually start off as kindly as this, but this morning I had this horrible epiphany for Wraithkin, due to a Larry Correia (author of Monster Hunter International, Monster Hunter Vendetta, Monster Hunter Alpha, and so on) post I happened across from a year or so ago. It was basically … Continue reading Today’s Word Is — DUH
Work and Richify Me
I love the spam comments which don't make it past my filter on here. My favorite one is "+1!! Luv your site, click here to get better". I just need to know. Get better at what? Better plusses? Better... food? Booze? Women? I get confuzzled, though it's still entertaining. A day off... yay! I'm going … Continue reading Work and Richify Me
Work Update
End of the world averted, apparently. Who knew that giving someone another credit card instead of telling them to pay off the first two would be "prudent fiscal advice"? I hope people remember this later when their teenager (very reasonably) asserts that they do not need to pay off their old credit card you (...wisely?) … Continue reading Work Update
Messy
So that "overreaction" on my part about agents becoming e-publishers and the conflict of interests I posted about a few months back? Nothing to see here folks, move along please. First: I don't have a dog in this fight, just an opinion and a genuine fear. If you're an agent, please feel free to browse my wares. … Continue reading Messy
