I seriously screwed up at the job, and now I'm paying for it. It's frightening when you think about it. You work hard, try to do the right thing and follow procedures, but a mistake (like, oh, losing one's temper) can destroy all the hard work and good effort one has made up to that … Continue reading Over The Barrel
Month: September 2012
There are some... times when people don't realize just how screwed up things were/are in the old world. Thankfully Sarah is around to remind us.
Sharpening Knives
Nightwalker is going to crack 10,000 words. The Editor... will not be pleased. It won't be more than 10,500 (I hope) so here's to getting it done. Besides, aren't editors around to neuter shorten stories for authors? I'm certain it's in the contract somewhere... Delving more and more into the Plantagenet/Tudor dynastic reigns as I gear … Continue reading Sharpening Knives
Now Write!
I tore a hole in my finger last night and it sucks. However, I am not letting that deter me from writing today. I'm pulling one of my rare "Sleep is for the dead" days and trying to achieve a goal of 3,000 newly written words (no, blogging doesn't count). So far I'm at... uh... … Continue reading Now Write!
Interviewed
Just wrapped up an interview for Book in the Bag, a review site that is going live soon-ish. The interview is scheduled for October 1st and I had a lot of fun with the questions they asked. Okay, perhaps too much fun. Love it or hate it, it's done. Wrote a book review last night … Continue reading Interviewed
Wrath of the Book Gods
At the risk of incurring the wrath of the book review gods (because my reviewing schedule is as steady as the men in Kim Kardashian's life), I plan on reviewing Sygillis of Metatron (The League of Elders, Book 1) by Ben Garcia tomorrow over at Shiny Book Review. It's a strange name, yeah, but it's a … Continue reading Wrath of the Book Gods
That Blurry Line Between Fact and WTF?
Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. If I submitted a novel to a publisher with some of the stuff that has happened this week in the world (embassy killings, countries apologizing for making protesters angry enough to kill ambassadors, the riots catching people by surprise, political leaders who seem to be clueless) I'd be shot done … Continue reading That Blurry Line Between Fact and WTF?
…aaaaaaaand back
Well, it took a week longer than expected but I finally have the internet up and going at my new place. Apparently, nothing has gone on in my absence. Nice to know that the world stops for me. Just kidding. Have a lot of emails to catch up on (over 200... wow) though most of … Continue reading …aaaaaaaand back
