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

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

Good times! Drek, Nick, lexish, slipperyjim, jakeson, gamila, aneeka, and one of my friends from the… Continue reading …and they all lived evily ever after.

Productivity breakdown

I’ve been thinking a lot about the writing I accomplished in the past few semesters. In some ways, I worry that I’ve become a lot more disorganized and a lot less productive than I was a year ago. Back in winter ’08, I took a couple of really difficult classes, got up early each morning… Continue reading Productivity breakdown

Happy New Year!

There must be a law that states that the climax of your story takes three times as long to write as you thought it would take. Back on Monday, I finished the previous chapter and thought I could bang out the major climax of the story in a day. Look how time has flown since… Continue reading Happy New Year!
