I can’t update regularly. I can, however, post the occasional word-count/note on how it’s going. I’ve decided to do that, but to still leave comments off for the time being because I can’t babysit the weblog, and as some of you know, we’ve had the occasional troublemaker. I’d rather pass on that.
Look […]
I’m putting the site on hold for at least a few months, due to serious overwork and a desperate need to catch up on deadlines without any distractions. I’ll be removing the contact link, will not be answering e-mail other than from personal friends and family, my agent, and editors, and will not be […]

Okay, I know a little more now. The manuscript for Midnight Rain will be due April 15, 2004. Probably will be on the schedule in 2005, but I don’t know exactly when yet and won’t for a while. Contracts are on the way, which is very, very fast.

I’m making real progress again on Talyn. Got a 1500 word net gain yesterday in spite of removing a solid chunk of text. I did it by going back to exactly the point where things went badly wrong, and writing the scene I should have written the first time. Sometimes I […]
I’ve assessed the manuscript, and this isn’t good. I’m going to have to yank about a hundred pages, and what this is going to do to my page count and word count I don’t even want to think about. If I fall off the face of the planet entirely for a while, please […]
I don’t know which one is going to cave first. But I can figure out what went wrong with the book. I can figure out exactly where it went wrong. I even know what the book needs to start working again. But I can’t figure out how to fix it. […]
Remember — the First Big Rule of Writing is You have to write something on paper. SOMETHING. Not something great. Not something good. It can, in fact, be something utterly suckiferous. But you must write something.
