Q3 Report, 2011
Before I move on to other, more interesting subjects, I want to take a little bit of time to review how my writing went in the past three months. For those of you who may be new, this is something I like to do at the start of each new quarter. Keeps me honest, I… Continue reading Q3 Report, 2011
Star Wanderers 0.2 is finished!
That’s right; I just finished the second draft of the beginning of Star Wanderers, the novel that came out of nowhere like a surprise baby. I’m sending it out to my alpha readers now, so I can get some feedback before submitting it to Writers of the Future. If I know you in real life… Continue reading Star Wanderers 0.2 is finished!
Part I of Star Wanderers is finished!
That’s right–I was up until about 2 am last night finishing it. Man, time goes by fast sometimes. This is probably just the first part of a much longer novel, but I hit a good stopping point so I’ll probably put it on the back burner for now while I finish Edenfall and do a… Continue reading Part I of Star Wanderers is finished!
Desert Stars 3.0 is finished!
That’s right; after almost exactly two months of writing, the third draft of Desert Stars is now complete! This is the first draft where I feel that things are truly coming together the way they should be, where the story is transforming into something that not only works, but is actually fairly awesome. I’m probably… Continue reading Desert Stars 3.0 is finished!

Worlds Away from Home 2.1 is finished!
Yep, that’s right! I finished another novel, in this case the second draft of my fourth. It’s not without its flaws, but good enough that I won’t feel humiliated for life by sending it out to my first readers. Anyhow, here are the stats: Worlds Away from Home 2.1 ms pages: 450 words: 96,212 file… Continue reading Worlds Away from Home 2.1 is finished!
Genesis Earth 5.0 is finished!
That’s right; the fifth draft of Genesis Earth is complete. It was a quick, easy edit, but there were quite a few problems with the last draft, mostly having to do with the physics and timing/distances. Anyway, here are the stats: ms pages: 335 words: 71,500 file size: 164 KB chapters: 16, prologue & epilogue… Continue reading Genesis Earth 5.0 is finished!
Mercenary Savior 4.0 is FINISHED!
…and not a moment too soon. I leave for the Salt Lake airport in eight hours, to try and sell this ugly beast masterpiece at World Fantasy. Let’s hope I can find a few editors/agents who are willing to take a look at the manuscript! Here are the stats: Mercenary Savior 4.0 words: 123,045 pages:… Continue reading Mercenary Savior 4.0 is FINISHED!
I’m still here!
Man, it’s been forever since I’ve posted something. I’d blog more often, but I think you guys would get bored pretty quick if all I did was tell you how the writing went each day. Don’t be fooled; the writing process isn’t NEARLY as interesting as the stuff we write (unless you’re writing amateur fanfic…just… Continue reading I’m still here!
