I’m not going to talk about nanowrimo because … yeah, I’m not going to talk about nanowrimo. I’ve been doing a lot to get the print versions of the Star Wanderers novellas up, but beyond that, not a whole lot of writing. Still one scene to go in Sons of the Starfarers: Brothers in Exile… Continue reading I’m not going to talk about nanowrimo

Nanowrimo is kicking my butt
… but that’s a good thing. While procrastinating my daily word count, I’ve almost finished Book I of Sons of the Starfarers, formatted and orders proofs for the first four Star Wanderers novellas, alpha-read most of another book for a friend, and done a bunch of other things (which is nothing compared to a friend… Continue reading Nanowrimo is kicking my butt
Publishing is as easy as the Irish Tinwhistle
David Gaughran has another excellent blog post up, this time about publishing in general and something that most newbies don’t realize when they first start out. From his post: I’m saying that when a newbie has been convinced that self-publishing is hard or expensive the chances of them falling into the clutches of a third-party… Continue reading Publishing is as easy as the Irish Tinwhistle
Nanowrimo anyone?
November is coming up, and with it, nanowrimo. I’ve always wanted to participate, but every time it rolls around, it seems like I’ve got another project going on that’s more important. This year is no exception, but I think I have a way around that. The goal for nanowrimo is just to write something–it doesn’t… Continue reading Nanowrimo anyone?

So I’ve been working hard at Star Wanderers: Reproach (Part VII) these past few days, and I’m happy to say that it will be coming out sooner than I’d expected! I finished a quick proofreading and touch up pass today, which mostly involved cutting some unnecessary paragraphs and rewording a few sentences here and there. … Continue reading SW-VII: REPROACH coming out soon!
Check me out on Wattpad!
So I signed up recently for a site called Wattpad, which is basically like Deviantart for writers. Once you have a profile, you can post stories or chapters or excerpts, and other members can read your stuff, comment on it, or vote it up. It’s designed especially for smartphones, so if you have one, that’s… Continue reading Check me out on Wattpad!
Quick update and a funny thing
First, just a quick update on my latest writing projects. I got the feedback from my second round of test readers for Star Wanderers: Reproach (Part VII), and while I think the story still needs work, it’s getting closer. I probably won’t be able to get it out by the end of September, but first… Continue reading Quick update and a funny thing
Trope Tuesday: Foolish sibling, responsible sibling
Whenever you’ve got two characters who interact with each other a lot, chances are that one is a foil of the other. There are a lot of reasons for this, but the big reason is that it helps to highlight certain character traits by providing contrast. Because the contrast is the important thing, the relationship… Continue reading Trope Tuesday: Foolish sibling, responsible sibling
Addicted to typesetting
So I just realized it’s been a looong time since I posted anything besides Trope Tuesday posts on this blog. A lot of things have happened, and I’ve got a lot of things I want to blog about, but really all my spare time has been spent happily typesetting for Stars of Blood and Glory… Continue reading Addicted to typesetting
