Well, I did promise to work on one of the short stories I had due. Unfortunately, instead of working on the Catechisms story, I found myself working on the Adventurers in Hell story, In the Shadow of Paradise. Still, considering that the story is almost at completion, I don't feel too bad about that now. … Continue reading Good Morning!

Sneezed
Was working on Wraithkin just now and suddenly a massive sneezing attack hit me. Ugh, talk about crap timing. I don't have allergies very often but when they do, it's 10-15 minutes of sneezing hell. Then it disappears, leaving no evidence and me with no clue as to what caused it. I've done the allergen … Continue reading Sneezed
Evil Unicorns
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 … Continue reading Evil Unicorns
Defying Gravity
No post today. Am writing. Will post tomorrow night. Until then, I leave you with this:
Comfort Zones
In shock today over last night's season finale of "Castle". Just absolute shock. Was working on various projects today (editing and cleaning) but my mind just couldn't get over the two major events of the show. This has been really messing with my ability to actually focus on the task(s) at hand and kill whatever … Continue reading Comfort Zones
More Award Nominations
I've also been nominated for "Best Near Future/Post Apocalyptic Novel" in 2010. Just saw this today. Michael Z Williamson was nominated for "Best Space Opera" while Colonel Tom Kratman was nominated for "Best MilSF". Spread the word and vote!
Coffee? COFFEE!
Saturday's post was... weird. I'll be the first to admit that sometimes I don't even make sense to myself. I'm sure there was a point buried in that meandering, lost little piece. Somewhere in there. Agent Mike Kabongo is having a "Worst Cover Letter" contest, with the winner earning a free book from one of … Continue reading Coffee? COFFEE!
Brief Saturday Note
Wait... it's Saturday. I don't post on Saturdays! For the first time in a long time, there was a featured article about Haiti on the news today. For those of you who don't remember, Haiti was hit by a massive earthquake in 2010 that killed about 200,000 people and caused another 1.5 million to be … Continue reading Brief Saturday Note
Another Salvo
Wednesday, it was Ed Victor. Today, it's Curtis Brown. Afraid of being left behind in a new money-earning venture, lit agent giant Curtis Brown announced today that they were exploring bringing out-of-print titles back into the publishing venue by creating their own publishing branch. I was against Mr. Victor's push into publishing, partly because of … Continue reading Another Salvo
A Very Bad Idea
In the past few weeks, we have heard rumblings on the borders of a coming war. Between traditional publishing and the battles for authors to retain their e-rights to the industry, as a whole, ignoring the vast importance of the growing ebook phenomenon, authors have been watching as the entire industry has begun to adapt (poorly) … Continue reading A Very Bad Idea
PSA 1924
Today's Public Service Announcement comes at the behest of the neighborhood children. Thou Shalt Not Mow A "Landing Strip" Onto Thine Front Yard Yeah, apparently it's frowned upon... *There were no "safe for work" pictures I could find online. My apologies.
Off The Rails
I really tapped into one of my neurotic, psychotic characters from a short story last night and had a moment where nothing made sense and everything was clear. That was... adventurous, to say the least. Note to self: do NOT write freaky, insane, mind-twisting, paranoid and spooky characters while stressed out about multiple projects and … Continue reading Off The Rails
Big Whoops
So much going on, so little time... In setting up a business, one needs to check to make certain that there's nobody else out there using your name. You'd think that this is an obvious one, but for those of us who are more focused on getting the book out it just is one of … Continue reading Big Whoops
A Snippet!
Seems like everyone in the house is busy this weekend. First off, happy Mother's Day to all those moms out there. Okay, it's only Friday, but since I try not to post on the weekends (primarily because I'm usually out of town) I'll go ahead and get it out of the way with now. Have … Continue reading A Snippet!
Time Waster, That’s Me
I must've really needed sleep last night because I slept through two different alarms this morning. Granted, I usually sleep through the first alarm (0645) anyways, but the second alarm usually gets me (0710). But... I'm so tired because instead of writing yesterday, I was drawn into a muckfest on Wikipedia. And as any editor … Continue reading Time Waster, That’s Me
