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 … Continue reading Read A Book, Read A Book!

#OccupyHell and Other Tags
It's strange. It's been over 16 months since the Colonel Kratman interview and it's still generating plenty of traffic. The only thing that is generating more is my Larry Correia interview, which blew everything away at the time and is still plenty popular. Of course, everyone else is in on the Monster Hunter secret now, … Continue reading #OccupyHell and Other Tags
Boring Updates
Here is your weekly freebie, courtesy once more of the amazingly talented (and award winning!!! yes, the three !!! make it seem more important. It's statistically proven!!!) Sarah A Hoyt. Witchfinder -- Chapter Three Look around on the site for the first two chapters. It's a pretty good read so far, except that I am … Continue reading Boring Updates
Pain! Ow!
I got tore up today and, as usual, it was all my fault. Wally (cat #2) was brawling with Casper (cat #1) in the dining room. Usually I ignore it, because A) Casper's never really hurt Wally, and B) someone's in charge, and as soon as Wally realizes that it's not him, the house will … Continue reading Pain! Ow!
Jericho Questions
I wonder if anybody else got into Jericho as fiercely as I have and stopped to ask themselves "How did this show get cancelled?" Really. How did it get cancelled? It has good writing, realistic characters and enough mystery to keep the viewer coming back for more. Was this a casualty of the writer's strike? … Continue reading Jericho Questions
The Man Who Sold the World
I'm feeling very melancholy today. I shall treat you to some Nirvana now and go on my way.
The Status Quo
...sucks. Really. If I followed the status quo, I doubt I'd be in Kentucky with my job. I seriously doubt I'd be writing, or selling. I know I wouldn't be in training to become a professional editor, nor would I have the chance at one day running a publishing company. I'm unorthodox in my approach, … Continue reading The Status Quo
Newsdays
I have been busy busy busy these past few days. You may (or, more likely, may not) have noticed? First, for those of you who must have regular updates on things I'm doing, I'm on Twitter @WarpCordova. I usually blather about nothing but once in awhile I put up something of use. I also have … Continue reading Newsdays
Free Stuff
Sarah Hoyt just posted the first chapter of a free novel over at her site. I heartily approve of free books (yay books!), so why don't you go and check it out? Here's a direct link, just in case.
Long-winded TV Rant
Hooray! Glee! is back on tv! ...what the hell is up with this story line? Seriously, we have to listen to lines like "Gonna make sweet caramel babies" for the entire season? One of the most intriguing aspects/story lines they had set up at the end of season 2 was the biracial relationship between Mercedes … Continue reading Long-winded TV Rant
The Lost King
More delving into research led me to pick up two more books today while at the bookstore. Sadly, Larry Correia and Mike Kupari's effort Dead Six was not in stock. Lame, right? However, compulsory research has led me to G. J. Meyer's The Tudors and Chris Skidmore's Edward VI: The Lost King of England. Both look very … Continue reading The Lost King
Is This Thing On? Oh, Need To Twit That Tweet.
Did you know you can "brandmark" your book/publishing company/self with a hashtag on Twitter? I've been doing something similar with the hashtag #InHell on there, but you can do oh-so-much more is you really, really want to. Good way to get the word out, right? Especially for new authors... you'd think everybody and their grandma … Continue reading Is This Thing On? Oh, Need To Twit That Tweet.
Go Go Gadget Writer!
Sent off version3 of In the Shadow of Paradise for the next Heroes in Hell anthology just now. Despite yesterday's claim to a complete lack of productivity this week, today has been much better, even if I put in an 8 hour day before I started writing. Still, any writing is good writing, I suppose. Up … Continue reading Go Go Gadget Writer!
Home for Wayward Characters
Word count for the week: 0 Yeah, that's a big fat "zero" in productivity this week. 10% of a book undone. I haven't even opened a word file this week except for a few minutes the other day when I was going over a fellow author's story. I expected to be a little unproductive, but … Continue reading Home for Wayward Characters
Lady in Red
For some reason, the title "A Sonnet of Flame" came to mind yesterday when I was walking home. I had this image of a woman with a short sword in one hand, and a dead rose in the other, standing in the middle of a burnt and ruined field with bodies all around her. I … Continue reading Lady in Red
