I finished up the write-in revision this morning, and while I was at it, completed the story blurb: TALES FROM THE LONGVIEW, EPISODE 4: Gunslinger Moon When freedom is silenced, how does it speak? Ex-PHTF slave WE-39R (This Criminal, from Episode 1), renamed Jex, is part of a team the Longview’s Owner has tasked with finding the meaning behind Bashtyk … Continue reading →
I’ve created my first intern program: COMMERCIAL FICTION DEVELOPMENT. The first intern program is for people who want to work with WRITERS OF FICTION (and personal non-fiction). And who want to get paid to do this. I’m looking for people with whom I can work LONG-TERM. I want to build a team I can rely on to work with every … Continue reading →
For the next few days, I’m working like mad to get all the 33 Mistakes books I have up on the website. My editor ended up not being able to do them, and I want to have them done before I start writing the How To Revise Your Novel course. My authors have already been waiting a long time—I don’t … Continue reading →

SIDE NOTE: I host my weblog myself, on my own site, which means your WordPress.com ID won’t work here. You need to create an ID for this weblog. … Continue reading →
As I mentioned in the Writing Updates a short while back, I figured out how to do the publishing thing. Now, not five or ten years from now. But knowing how to do it and knowing if I should do it are two different things. Here’s the thing. I came up with a wonderful business model that would create a … Continue reading →
Post copied from OneMoreWordBooks.com Now I know what I want to do. I want to publish fantasy serials—related world- or character-based stand-alones set in well-developed, fun universes. I want to be able to offer a good advance, I want to be able to offer good royalties and an excellent contract. I want to have a strong, interesting, atypical online presence … Continue reading →
