The Novel That Wasn’t

Leave a Comment Posted by on November 3, 2011

Ever read a science fiction novel and realize halfway through that it… wasn’t? I’m reading this story right now that someone sent me (friend of a friend, apparently) and it was billed as a SF novel. I went ahead and started reading it and realized about 100 pages in that it was more of a [...]

Nobody’s As Cool As LeVar

Leave a Comment Posted by on November 2, 2011

The wonderful Sarah Hoyt (a writer who blogs, who is one of my favorite people) was talking about the “Art of the Human Condition” this morning over at her blog (read it here) and just what people seem to want. The quotes are mine, since it was hard for me to sum up the entirety [...]

Read A Book, Read A Book!

Somehow I went 40 hours with only 45 minutes sleep and only mildly went insane (my poor coworkers…). I promise to never* do that again. The lack of sleep I mean. The insanity was fun. Nothing new to report (well, minus the lack of a few brain cells but eh, I won’t miss them…) and nothing [...]

Two Down, Three To Go

1 Comment Posted by on September 9, 2011

Fired off The Cold to the editor this morning after anguishing over it for two hours this morning. It appears to be done but I’m my own harshest critic, so I was very anxious this morning. Nonetheless, it’s off, out of my hands, waiting for approval. That frees me up to do more writing, including wrapping [...]

It’s Cold Here

Leave a Comment Posted by on September 8, 2011

Dreary, rainy days are the best. The cold days let my brain finally turn around and say “Hey, we can write” while the rest of my house is freezing. Of course, this means I’m wearing a heavy sweater and am barefoot (after all, writer’s are quirky, aren’t they?).  But this is a good thing, since [...]

Bid’nes Up Front, Pah’ty In The Back

Leave a Comment Posted by on June 28, 2011

A life in fiction doesn’t really differ from anyone you see on the news, if you think about it. To both a reader and writer alike, the character is a living, breathing individual. A character such as Tori is as real to you and me as Paris Hilton is, maybe more so (Tori, you see, [...]

Off Target and Tangent

So I was wildly offbase with my Pottermore guess. It’s looking to be some sort of real-life treasure hunt mixed with an MMORPG or… something. So basically, Sony, Warner Bros and JK Rowling are trying to get LARPers and WoW gamers to get outside and… game? Odd. But, in a strangely unrelated coincidence, Rowling’s camp [...]

Pottermore?

1 Comment Posted by on June 17, 2011

Someone asked me yesterday “What is Pottermore”? To which I replied “Potter-what?“ It’s amazing that, as people are predicting the death of print books and such, one person can come along and change the entire game once more. J.K. Rowling didn’t announce anything, just simply created a website called “Pottermore” with the words “Coming Soon” [...]

Looooong Update

Leave a Comment Posted by on May 27, 2011

I have been without internet for most of the morning, so I got a lot of writing done minus my usual research (i.e., annoying Leo, pestering my boss, and so on…). This means, naturally, that about 80% of it I’m going to have to cut out eventually. In the meantime, though, I started the Catechism [...]

Evil Unicorns

Leave a Comment Posted by on May 19, 2011

Sorry about yesterday, but when the muse beats you over the head with a bat and orders you to write, you listen or risk concussion-like symptoms. Besides, I’m sure you’d rather me be writing than messing around on here, right? Right? So I heard that Pyr Books is launching a YA branch of their books [...]
