Working Notes – Progress Report and Sherlock (god help me).
I do love a bad boy, and Roman Xerus is currently stirring up all sorts of mischief in Blood Stone. I’m nearly 150 pages in, and the story is just settling into the guts and heart of it…I think it’s going to be another long one. I would possibly be a mite further along if [...]
Working Notes – What’s Up Round Up: In The Mail, Too.
As I’m quietly and steadily working my way through Blood Stone, and the weekend started out with an empty email in-tray, and nothing moving on Facebook or anywhere else, I thought this was going to be one of those bulletins where I would have nothing to report, except for progress. But Sunday, which is usually [...]
Working Notes – Blood Stone is moving.
I’ve got a pain behind my eyes and my shoulders are hunched as I type this. I’ve spent all weekend — all of it — doing my taxes and filing. Because last year was such a horrid year, I didn’t keep up with my bookkeeping at all. So I paid for it now it’s tax [...]
Working Notes – What I’m Reading
I always like doing these posts because sharing what I’m reading is as much a surprise to me as it is to you. Thanks to electronic reading, I pick up and drop books like lingerie, and I’m in the middle of dozens of books at any one time. So I usually report on the books [...]
Working Notes – February 28 – Another Leap Frog
A few weeks ago I was bellyaching about how I had produced books so fast that I had missed out on updating you on two books, between working note installments. Poor me, life is a bitch, huh? Guess what? Done it again. Well, sort of. :) Last working notes, I got to roll in ecstasy [...]
Working Notes – The Book That Wouldn’t Be Short
It’s only now I’ve recalled a pithy little line I included in the special features for The Royal Talisman: “I have also been accused of an inability to write anything short to save my life.” Good thing a hanging didn’t depend on the turn of that phrase. Because I blithely included in the description for [...]
Working Notes – Byzantine Heartbreak is Underway. Yeah!
It’s been a weird week. For a start, it’s been very cold. Like, 35 degrees Celsius below zero cold. That’s negative 31 in Farenheit for all you Imperial-thinking people. I got Mukluks for Christmas — real authentic ones. But even at -35, they let the cold in and my feet started to chill up. I [...]
Working Notes – Backstage Pass
Last time around, for working notes, I had skipped over two books, and had to back track. This time, I don’t have a book to talk about at all, because of another phenomenon of the indie publishing industry: doing it yourself means actually doing it all yourself. Everything. The formatting, uploading, releasing, technical un-hitching, acquiring [...]
Working Notes – The Book You Missed and the One You Might Yet Miss
I don’t think I’ve ever hidden the fact that I write posts ahead of time and schedule them to appear here on the appointed day. Most bloggers do this. It’s a survival mechanism: We’d all be in straight-jackets by week four if we had to manually post each and every post on the appointed day [...]
Working Notes – December 26, 2011
My best wishes to everyone who celebrated Christmas Day yesterday, and for everyone who got the day off from work, I hope you made the best of it. Of course, I’m writing this somewhere in the past, so I’m not sure yet if I made a very good day of it or not, but I [...]
