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 […]
Tomorrow, the Omnibus Edition is out. I have a few tweaks to make, but it’s done and ready, and tomorrow, I’ll have a hard copy book for sale. This also means that the first series is officially done tomorrow. No more tweaks, no more worrying. I can turn all my attention to revising and editing […]
The Omnibus Edition is just about to hit (metaphoric) shelves, and I’m an odd mix of excited and scared… and wistful. All of this hard work the last year or so is aimed at getting an editor for my free novel, my 130k fantasy epic. Editors cost money and my book is just too big […]
Is not today! But soon! Tuesday, July 1st to be exact. And yes, I will also be offering a print edition, of which I am very nervous about. Other work-wise, I’ve had to rewrite a few scenes that last two days, but I still haven’t fixed an ending that’s bugging me.
No, I wasn’t going to put up a picture of that stinking rabbit. Even is that’s exactly how I feel some days. Today is one of them. I get a night out on Friday and a day at the lake on Saturday. This means a ton of prep today and tomorrow. Cleaning and packing and […]
This is something all writers know about. The middle section of your first draft will sag like mad for a while. You can’t properly write it until you have the ending written. Something similar happens is editing. The drafting process is this mad dash to get the story out, and the ending (publishing) is a […]
Or maybe a maze. Or maze IN a mine field. Anyway, I’ve been trying to write these Jeff stories for a few weeks now, and I’ve been pulling a huge blank on them. Finally, a friend convinced me to join her cabin for Camp Nanowrimo in July. This is basically, a Nanowrimo, but you can […]
It comes from the oddest places. The last two posts have been about storytelling and characters, and were directly inspired by a series of conversations I’ve been having bout whether or not stories and characters were explicitly gendered. Now, of course, someone always tries to being up pregnancy as something that is gendered. My answer […]
