Thoughts on World Fantasy 2009
Since it’s been a couple of days since World Fantasy 2009, I guess I should share some of my thoughts before life starts pulling me in other directions. First of all, I was surprised at how similar it was to LTUE, CONduit and other convention/symposium events I’ve already attended. The basic format was the same:… Continue reading Thoughts on World Fantasy 2009
World Fantasy 2009 — second day
Friday was a long, awesome day at World Fantasy. I feel like I’m floating around on a sea full of big names and interesting people, and it’s surprisingly less intimidating than I thought it would be. The day started with a number of panels. I attended “Writing human characters, whether or not they’re human” and… Continue reading World Fantasy 2009 — second day
World Fantasy 2009 — first day
After four years, I’m back in California! Yay! Okay, now that I’ve got that out of my system (because California is, without a doubt, the most awesome state in the union), let me just say that the first day of World Fantasy 2009 was most excellent. For Cavan, Alex and me, the day began at… Continue reading World Fantasy 2009 — first day
Blarg.
I’ve got a bad case of writer’s avoidance. It’s annoying. I wrote 1,500 words in Bringing Stella Home today, and about 800 words of outlining. That might seem like a lot, but when you consider how much free time I had today, it’s really not that much. Blarg. I’m all moved in to my new… Continue reading Blarg.
Uh oh…more projects?
That’s right. I recently formed a writing group with some friends, and decided to workshop Bringing Stella Home through it. They went through the first chapter yesterday and tore it apart. I appreciate the help a TON, but I’m going to have to start making revision to it now, so that subsequent submissions to the… Continue reading Uh oh…more projects?
Goal shift for Ashes
These past few weeks, I’ve been killing myself trying to write Ashes of the Starry Sea. I’ve made some good progress, as you can see on the sidebar. Today I broke 200 pages. Not too bad. However, the pace has just been killing me. 4k words per day is something I can do…but 4k words… Continue reading Goal shift for Ashes
Thank you readers
I appreciate my first readers very much, even when it hurts. Especially when it hurts. Today I got the comments back from a longtime Quarkie friend on Genesis Earth, and she told me that, in her opinion, the book still needs a lot of work. However, she made it very clear when (and why) she was bored,… Continue reading Thank you readers
Breaking 20k/7day and a new apartment
Today I broke 20k words for the running seven-day total. According to my records, the last time that total was over 20k was Monday, June 8th. Despite the fact that I moved into a new apartment today, I managed to finish with just over 4k for the day. You should have seem me at the… Continue reading Breaking 20k/7day and a new apartment
