Minor computer issue (me and my flash drive are not in the same place right now) so the next part of the novel will go up this evening.  Apologies for the delay.

Well in a little less than two weeks I’ll be attending DragonCon, my last convention for a while as I retool myself to paying a little more attention to the writing part of this whole writing thing.  My agent has two full novels to shop around, and I’m busy finishing my Namowrimo project from last [...]

A year ago I blogged about Mr. Patrick Roscoe an asshat of epic proportions whose claim to fame is sending the following to a literary agent: Colleen Lindsay: Thank you for making it clear, through your response to my query, that you are unquipped (sic) to represent fiction writers who are working at the very [...]

I had really nice comment today on my latest blog post: “With your ability, certainly you have learned praises before but I just want to involve to the many who have thanked you for what you’ve attained. Your work are one of a kind and show great insight. Thanks for your contributions!” I almost approved [...]

Writing tip: If you want to really do this, you can’t complain about lacking the time.  If you lack the time, it’s only because you have placed things higher on the priority list than actually writing. Things like blogging. . . That is all.

The quiet is due to me working on Marked, the new project that (at the moment) supersedes the NaNoWriMo novel.  I’m working on that one because, even though the NaNoWriMo project has more words, Marked is in a state closer to completion.  This is primarily due to having written a proposal for it for Eleanor [...]

Well I applied the security update to WordPress and everything went fine, then I tried to upgrade my calendar plugin, and it nuked the whole site.  You will notice the calendar is now gone. . . I’m going to have to look for a more stable plugin, I don’t want to deal with that again.

For audiobook fans, I have good news.  Blackstone Audio has just contracted to do an audiobook version of Wolf’s Cross.  I’ve also added buy links for the Audible.com versions of Prophets and Heretics.   I also finally added this widget: . // To the Wolf’s Cross page.

But I decided to stop doing it here.  Frankly, most of the people coming to this site are a lot more interested in my thoughts about writing and fiction than my political ravings.  And while I may have a few fans for my rants, it seems that it might make more sense to direct them [...]

Blogish Thing #1: The Amazon/Macmillan thing continues rolling on, making Amazon look more and more the villian to those of us who write for a living.  Reactions are varied, and I’d like to endorse Scalzi’s call not to boycott, but to buy books from the affected authors. Also like Scalzi, I’ve decided to stop with [...]
