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 […]
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.
