Character Interview: Master Sergeant Roman Andrei Krikoryan

So I recently heard about a really interesting blogfest, where the goal is to blog about the characters in your story, as well as have a little fun with flash fiction.  The prizes look pretty good, too: a couple of free books and a manuscript critique, from a couple of up-and-coming editors. Not bad…but the… Continue reading Character Interview: Master Sergeant Roman Andrei Krikoryan

Am I swamped, or am I lazy?

This post might get a little emo, so I apologize in advance. I feel like I have so much on my plate right now, and yet when I look back at what I’ve accomplished each day, I wonder if I couldn’t have been more productive.  I’m moving out of my apartment on the 21st, so… Continue reading Am I swamped, or am I lazy?

Trope Tuesday: Walking the Earth

Oh there’s sober men in plenty And drunkards barely twenty There are men of over ninety That have never yet kissed a girl. But give me a wandering rover From Orkney down to Dover We will roam the country over And together we’ll face the world. When a character decides to walk the Earth, they… Continue reading Trope Tuesday: Walking the Earth

Tradition!

We have some pretty weird traditions in my family.  One of them is that we watch The Ten Commandments every Thanksgiving.  Another is that my mother tells everyone “rabbit rabbit!” on the first of every month.  Yet another: whenever anyone opens a bucket of fresh butter, everyone nearby screams bloody murder and scrambles to be… Continue reading Tradition!

Minecraft!

I have a confession to make…I bought minecraft a week ago, and I’ve been playing it almost non-stop ever since.  It is such a fun, addicting game! The goal is…well, there is no goal, and that’s kind of the point.  You start out in this vast open wilderness full of resources, and you gather them… Continue reading Minecraft!

Some awesome blogs you should follow

So a bunch of blogs I follow have been doing this blogfest called “Pay it Forward,” organzied by Alex J. Cavanaugh. The idea is to bring attention to some well deserving yet lesser known blogs, and that’s something I’m all for supporting. The rules are simple: list, describe and link to three blogs that you… Continue reading Some awesome blogs you should follow

News, a correction, and an awesome AvB remix

Today I was supposed to finish the second draft of Sholpan, but I moved apartments this weekend, so everything got thrown completely out of whack.  I’m all moved into my new place now (with some awesome Quarkie roommates), but Sholpan is going to have to wait until Monday. Fortunately, I’ve only got a couple of… Continue reading News, a correction, and an awesome AvB remix

How’s my new blog template?

It’s up!  What do you think? I especially like the sidebar layout, with the featured item on top and the double sidebars below.  I think I’m going to put all my promotional stuff (books, social networks) on the right sidebar, with all the blog stuff (tags, archives, recent comments, blogroll, etc) on the left. I’m… Continue reading How’s my new blog template?

Teaser: Starmap from Bringing Stella Home

First off, let me get some business out of the way.  I did another post for the Genesis Earth blog tour, this time on my friend Cavan’s blog.  The subject: how and why I decided to become an indie published writer. Also, if you live in Europe, it may interest you to know that Genesis… Continue reading Teaser: Starmap from Bringing Stella Home
