Last Chapter Slowdown

As eager as I’ve been to get to the last chapter, now that I’m here, it feels strange. Tying up the last loose ends, picking up the trail of bread crumbs, less than 250 words of progress on it yesterday. At 74,607, then. How much foreshadowing to put in?...

CapClave 2013, Day 3

And now I’m back home, with a sigh and a collapse into comfortable furniture. CapClave was a blast — I think I had more fun there than I did at WorldCon. Well, no, I take that back; I did have more fun there than I did at WorldCon.Today I mostly networked...
The Marann is LIVE!

The Marann is LIVE!

The Sky Warrior digital edition of The Marann just went live on Amazon! The same story, with richer, tighter writing, as well as new and expanded scenes. I’m so excited it’s out!

CapClave 2013, Day 2

Rather a frenetic day! Still having a great time here; the panels have been uniformly entertaining and enlightening. I’ve avoided the George R.R. Martin madness, while finding moments here and there to write, though obviously I can’t pen great swaths of...

CapClave 2013, Day 1

A day of travel, mostly. I did get to a couple of fun panels — Editors’ Pet Peeves, and Sequels and Prequels. Much hilarity was enjoyed and wisdom shared. A light supper at Panera’s, in deference to my touchy tummy, and I’m back in our room...

71,161. I’m in the final chapters of The Fall. In spite of the migraine, I got the climactic chapter finished. Now I just need to tie up loose ends (and there are plenty!). Changes, departures, reconciliations! Lots of fun.

Daises, Daises

No, that’s not misspelled. <grin> 70,518 this morning. Last night, in the midst of writing the climax of the climactic chapter of The Fall, I realized I was seeing streaks. For those not familiar, this means (in my case) that a migraine is coming on. My...
Re-release of The Marann!

Re-release of The Marann!

Tuesday, Oct 15, 2013, Sky Warrior Books will republish The Marann. I will unpublish the self-pubbed version before the Sky Warrior edition goes live. This is the same story, but the re-release contains new and expanded scenes, and the writing is richer and tighter...

Yay!

Text boxes still don’t work — but HTML boxes do! The number over there –> is now correct as of 10pm Sunday night. Yay!
64,462

64,462

That –^ is the number that should over there. –> I finally got through the second scene of chapter 21. It took three tries to find the right point-of-view character, and the one that worked might not be the best one, but it works, and that means I can...
