Resolutions and such for 2014

Yes, I know this post is a couple of days late.  Yesterday I was busy publishing Star Wanderers: Deliverance (Part VIII), though, and the day before that I was on the train, and today I had to renew my vehicle registration … enough!  On to the resolutions. 1. Publish something every 6 weeks. One thing… Continue reading Resolutions and such for 2014

SW-VIII: DELIVERANCE coming out in January

So when I left for family vacation in Iowa last week, I thought I’d put the cover files for Star Wanderers: Deliverance (Part VIII) in my dropbox folder.  It turns out, I didn’t–it’s still on my desktop back in Provo.  Since I don’t get back until late on New Year’s Eve, that means that it won’t… Continue reading SW-VIII: DELIVERANCE coming out in January

Thoughts on sequels and the Desolation of Smaug

So last week I saw the new Hobbit movie, The Desolation of Smaug, and I really, really liked it … right up to the ending.  Why? BECAUSE IT RESOLVED NOTHING!!!

I’m not going to talk about nanowrimo

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
