Juggling projects (and trying not to drop them all)

Many, I wish I could write faster. I probably can, but there are times when writing is an uphill slog, and you can’t put your foot on the accelerator too hard or your tires will spin out. Right now, I’m about halfway through Star Wolf (formerly HEART OF THE NEBULA), and I’m in the part… Continue reading Juggling projects (and trying not to drop them all)

LTUE, current WIP, and other assorted updates

So even though I haven’t been too good about blogging this past month, I have been busy writing. Besides the short story in my last post, I’ve been steadily revising Star Wolf, formerly titled HEART OF THE NEBULA. It took me a while to get back into this story, but I’m fully involved in it… Continue reading LTUE, current WIP, and other assorted updates

Back to novels again

So yesterday I finished the rough draft of Sons of the Starfarers: Brothers in Exile.  It needs work, but at least I’ve got something to work with.  Of course, before I can do that, I need to take a break and work on something else. For my next project, I’m going to do a massive… Continue reading Back to novels again

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

Trope Tuesday: Made a Slave

Just because something is heinous doesn’t mean that it won’t make a good story.  In fact, the Rule of Drama practically guarantees that it will make a good story.  For some weird reason, we humans are fascinated by things in fiction that would horrify us in real life, and love it when our favorite characters… Continue reading Trope Tuesday: Made a Slave

Nanowrimo anyone?

November is coming up, and with it, nanowrimo.  I’ve always wanted to participate, but every time it rolls around, it seems like I’ve got another project going on that’s more important. This year is no exception, but I think I have a way around that.  The goal for nanowrimo is just to write something–it doesn’t… Continue reading Nanowrimo anyone?

SW-VII: REPROACH is now out!

If you’ve been wondering what I’ve been up to lately, I’ve been busy publishing a new book!  Star Wanderers: Reproach (Part VII) is now out on Amazon, Smashwords, and Kobo as a $2.99 ebook, and should be up on Barnes & Noble and iTunes in a couple of weeks. This now brings the total number… Continue reading SW-VII: REPROACH is now out!

Quick update and a funny thing

First, just a quick update on my latest writing projects.  I got the feedback from my second round of test readers for Star Wanderers: Reproach (Part VII), and while I think the story still needs work, it’s getting closer. I probably won’t be able to get it out by the end of September, but first… Continue reading Quick update and a funny thing
