Finishing up Gunslinger to Earth

I’m finishing up right now with the third and final book in the Gunslingers Trilogy, Gunslinger to Earth. Just one more chapter to wrap everything up, then all the final revisions for the last few chapters. So far, so good. At 40k words, this is turning out to be one of my shorter novels. I’m… Continue reading Finishing up Gunslinger to Earth

Hey! Are you an aspiring writer / artist / creative whatever?

If you are, you really really really need to check out this webcomic about the three jaguars. It’s about the three main voices in every professional artist’s head, and how they bicker and play off of each other.  As someone whose been in the writing business for a few years, I can say that it’s… Continue reading Hey!

Well, that was a quick revision

First of all, sorry for forgetting to do a Trope Tuesday post (again!).  I guess I’m really flaky about doing those.  Oh well–better to be flaky about blogging than flaky about writing, right? In fact, the reason I didn’t write-up the post was because I was busy doing a 2.0 revision pass for Star Wanderers:… Continue reading Well, that was a quick revision

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?

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

Soundtrack for an untitled book

I’ve got this great idea for a novel, with a rough plot outline, an awesome ending, setting and characters all worked out, even the soundtrack–but no title. I enjoy making soundtracks for my novels, but this is the first time I’ve made one before writing the first draft.  Usually, my first drafts are so all over the… Continue reading Soundtrack for an untitled book

Civilized internet trolling and things to look out for

The Genesis Earth blog tour rolls on; just recently, I did an interview with Cindy Borgne of Dreamer’s Perch.  She’s been showcasing a number of other indie writers on her site, and the interviews are quite interesting, so check it out! Also, Moses Siregar is up to an interesting new project called Indie Author Rockstar. … Continue reading Civilized internet trolling and things to look out for

I need a productivity boost

Yeah…today wasn’t that great.  I revised through about 2k words in Desert Stars, but none of it was new material, and I only worked on it for maybe 3 cumulative hours.  I’m working full time now, but even so, I can do better than this. My self-imposed deadline for Desert Stars is July 9th.  That… Continue reading I need a productivity boost
