I survived the move. First day of work is tomorrow. I will update on Monday evenings (posts will now be going up online at night until hours are worked out with work). Thanks for the patience.
Blog Update
Angry Birds
Filed in the "That Was Weird" department... I decided, after looking at the grass sway gently in the breeze, that it was past time to mow. I was reluctant, however. It was hot, really damned hot, and muggy as well. I decided "The hell with it. I need to mow" and, after a brief consultation … Continue reading Angry Birds
Alles in Ordnung!
Having fun bastardizing the brief "Mission from Hell" from the old first draft of Vindicator into something far more fun and usable. I forgot just how crazy that chapter was. Still, it's always fun when you can call someone "Princess" and not be a derogatory term. Books are packed. Boo. Hard to read if books are packed. Alles … Continue reading Alles in Ordnung!
Blah
Three days until the move. I suppose I should start packing today... Naw, I'll start tomorrow. It's not like I own much. Brain isn't here today. I'll try this again later. In the mean time, how was your weekend?
Memorial Day
Let none be forgotten. In the fields of green my compatriots lay, Having given the ultimate sacrifice. I hope that I will always recall them this day, My friends, my brothers, my sisters. And while time may dim our memories of their names, Their spirits shall live on, immortal. For those who died shall be … Continue reading Memorial Day
Looooong Update
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 … Continue reading Looooong Update
Bourbon and Fiction Do Too Mix Well!
In the Shadow of Paradise is finished. It's at one of the first readers/editors now, hopefully without any continuity errors. After that comes the fine toothed comb. That's going to be about as much fun as a colonoscopy, but more productive I'm certain. I like the ending of the story. I didn't like the original … Continue reading Bourbon and Fiction Do Too Mix Well!
TV Moment
Okay, so I watched my prerequisite television today (DVR'd When Aliens Attack, which featured some great people I know like John Ringo, Travis S. Taylor and Bob Boan, as well as caught the season finale of Glee) and I couldn't get the feeling out of my head that this summer is going to be nothing … Continue reading TV Moment
He’s A Genius
Today there is more proof that Dean Wesley Smith is a freaking genius. He talks here about how an indie publisher could use gift cards which could contain a code for someone who buys the card to go to Smashwords and get their book. It sounds weird until you stop and think about it outside … Continue reading He’s A Genius
Good Morning!
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!
