I finished the second Jeff story yesterday. I’m two-thirds of the way done, and the final stretch is in sight. So I took my kids to the pool and then napped the rest of the day. Today, I’ll start to push myself and see if I can can’t get this bad boy written in a week. […]
I’m pretty sure that I have ADD. I know, I know, self-diagnosis is THE most obnoxious thing ever, but my oldest has been professionally diagnosed with ADHD, and my parents often chuckle when I tell them stories about his day, and usually find a similar story about me. So I think I’m on safe ground […]
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. […]
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 […]
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.
The formatting for the omnibus edition is done. Now, granted, I still have to fill out a lot of forms for createspace.com, but the formatting of the text and cover is done. And everything is uploaded to Amazon as well. Today is a cleaning day, because we took the beginning of this week off, as […]
