Last night, I was giggling over how adorably sarcastic one of my new characters is, when I suddenly just couldn’t look at Scrivener for one more moment. I’m enjoying the story and I like my characters. In fact, a new favorite should be back in a few hundred words. But I can’t do it right now. […]
That I usually travel. Though to my credit, I’m usually on my own. Okay, let me explain this, now that I’ve seriously misquoted Frost. Yesterday, I had a dilemma. I had a plan for these Jeff stories, but I got what felt like a better idea. Unfortunately, it would easily add an extra few thousand […]
I went into my nanowrimo with a vague plan. I had some idea where Jeff’s story was going. Enough that I wasn’t too worried about connecting the dots while I wrote. Unfortunately, I’ve hit a point where the story could spin off in a few directions, and I’m not sure which path would be best. […]
I’m about halfway to my Camp Nanowrimo word goal, though I am not about half way done with these novellas. The first one ran long and I have no doubts the others will as well. 10k each was an estimate, not hard number. A fact that I had to remind myself of several times the […]
The hardest part of being an indy author is the everything that’s NOT the writing. The covers, the promoting, writing blurbs. My headache the last two weeks? No matter what I do, the cover for the print edition omnibus edition looks blurry on Amazon’s website. I have remade it twice, and it STILL looks blurry. […]
Is actually going very, very well. My last Nano fell apart on me. I was trying to frantically get Uncommon Animals going and just didn’t have the time. This month, I’m waiting on critiques for Monsters and it’s summer! I finished the draft for the first story, and I’ve started the second. I even took […]
So, I finally did it. It’s all ready for sale. The hard copy of the omnibus edition. Yes, Uncommon Animals is a real, dead tree book! So here’s deal, the hard copy book is only available through Amazon, but (and this is the really cool part), if you buy the $2.99 ebook, you […]
So I’m plugging away, writing Jeff’s three stories at Camp Nanowrimo. The first one is almost done, but I’m also still getting critiques for Monsters of Pittsburgh. And right now, I’m at the most frustrating part of the editing process: Explaining world mechanics and characters quirks to new readers, while not boring the pants off […]
It’s the first Tuesday of the month, this means it’s being to be insecure! Today’s topic: No reviews. *sigh* This the first time I really debated changing my topic. I don’t want to seem like I’m fishing, because I’m not. This is not a jab at my friends and family who haven’t left reviews […]
The Omnibus Edition is here! Unfortunately, there has been a tiny problem with the print edition, but that should be straightened out by tomorrow. The good news regarding the print edition is that once it’s available, if you bought the ebook through amazon you can get the print edition MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD cheap! More details once that […]
