  • Weekend: Stressful…

    Monday: Stressful plus expensive, with an unwanted 400-mile round trip one-day drive thrown in just to make things even more of a pain in the keester. Today, with problem solved, and day open for writing and family: Priceless. For what it’s worth. Saw the comments on the snippet, and realized that a snippet would be…

  • Snippet from THE RUBY KEY

    I’m not going to give too much set up here. My young heroes have made a life-or-death deal with the nightling Kai-lord, and have realized he doesn’t intend to keep his end of it. They’ve gone to visit an ancient audiomaerist—a woman who can track people through time and space from the words they’ve spoken.…

  • Got the words

    Acutally, I’ve had the words since 10:45 AM. Hit 26,980 fluidly, while discovering what happened to Doyati—the object of great interest by the Kai-lord Letrin, and the bartering chip for our heroes Gennadara (Genna), Danrith (Dan), the nightling Yarri, and the cat. Ran into the blind hounds and the silver huntress but was not run…

  • Ruby Key Schedule

    I’ll be doing 2500 words a day. Had 40,000 words left. Finished today’s 2500 already, and am going to go help the kidlet with his homeschooling. It’s going well. Ran into bolkins and a soul-sucker. Download as PDFPrint Page

  • Today is type-in day

    The run through the print copy of the first five chapters of THE RUBY KEY proved hugely productive. I did heavy edits, hit all the points my editor requested, found a few typos and goofs, and made notes on storylines I need to follow through the rest of the book. I ended up ditching the…

  • I’ve been writing.

    I was going to be more here. But I’ve been working on the printed copy of RUBY KEY since Wednesday, and haven’t been by the computer. It’s going well, I’m falling in love with the characters and the story again, and everything is smoothing out and shaping up nicely. I’ll be back to the computer…

  • Quick Update

    Deadline 1: Got the GREEN MAGIC proposal off to Robin a couple days ago, heard back from her yesterday with revision requests (very small—overall, she was excited about the proposal), made the revisions over a couple of hours yesterday and resent the complete package, and that will go off to the editor, possibly today. Deadline…
