Will it blend?

Friday, August 31st, 2007

These videos may be old hat to you (there might even be an old hat in one of them), but I found myself mesmerized. Take a look at the Don’t Try This At Home section. Because, seriously, if you’re blending lightsticks, EZCheez, Bic lighters, iPods, and things that go boom, who cares whether […]

Snippetless Friday

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Everything is dragging, including me. I’m sorry I missed the snippet.
I’ve included the link, though, for those of you who haven’t, and who would like to invite folks over to your site to read yours.

Your Menu Options Have Changed

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

My favorite (insert glyph of rolling eyes here) phrase when dealing with inescapable, interminable, utterly frustrating automated phone answering systems—”Please listen carefully, as your menu options have changed.”
This should be a whole lot less painful.
Look to the Works In Progress block to your right on the weblog. Two, and only two, books […]

Another thought for the day

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

This was one of those shower thoughts specifically for writers:
When life hands you lemons, thank God and take good notes. In both New York and Hollywood, lemons outsell ice cream one hundred to one.

I’m writing

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

Less than five hours of sleep (again), but the story pulled me in.
The Air Force Kid is on leave, and going to be here later today to visit for a few days, before he goes to hang out with his sister, and then travels some more to see friends all the way on […]

Friday Snippet—from THE MOONROADS

Friday, August 24th, 2007

This is the first few paragraphs of the second book of the Moon and Sun series. My hope is that it will be mostly self-explanatory, and intriguing where it’s not immediately clear.

NOTICE: This material is copyrighted, unedited raw first draft, probably buggy, possibly not even going to be in the final book. Do […]

The Old-Fashioned Way

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

I’ve been dinking around with virtual index cards in software for about a week now, first figuring out the overview for the Moon and Sun series, then starting to plot out The Moonroads. Yesterday, not long after I posted that things were going well, things stopped going well.
They do that. I hate it […]

The Moonroads

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

Today marks the official start of Book Two of the Moon and Sun series, The Moonroads. It’s a working title only. I’ve mapped out my overall story for the series, and today I’m getting into tighter details and plotting the book, using Plot Clinic techniques and Scrivener.
I’m concentrating right now on […]

Thought for the day

Monday, August 20th, 2007

If the dryer sounds like you’ve turned it on with a corpse in it, either the cat sneaked into the laundry or you did too many pairs of blue jeans at once.
In my case, it was the jeans thing, but it still scared the bejeezus out of me.
(If the third option is that you really […]

Eureka! The answer to ‘So What?’

Monday, August 20th, 2007

I figured out the niche, and I think it kicks ass. Linked here.
