The Upside of Time Off and The Downside of Being Dead
I took a few days off writing. I know this is one of the cardinal sins of NanoWrioMo, but it couldn’t be helped. It wasn’t personal tragedy, or even terrible work schedule that got me into trouble, it was lack of structure. As just about anyone who knows me can tell you, I’ve gotten pretty [...]
A Really Short Update and A Quick Tip
I’m running it close to the wire here. Four days to go and I’ve still got 10,000 words to hit my target of 50,000 in one month. Even to reach this I’ve had to count everything I;ve written this month, including the words I’ve deleted. It still counts. Quick Tip: Stuck for story idas? Look [...]

Update, and a quick word about suffering
I’m a little behind. Right now I’m sitting right on 22,000 words for the month. I’m planning a fairly epic writing day tomorrow to catch up to my target and then keep on going. In that 22,000 I’m counting almost 16,000 words that I wrote…. and then deleted because they were in fact, very bad. [...]
Why Do I Do These Things?
Please don’t answer that. My stupidity is already well documented. So, after putting down The Shadow Library and getting geared up for the next novel, I’ve also been planning to do NanoWriMo. Initially my plan was to do the 50,000 words NanoWriMo asks of its authors and then write the second half of my story [...]
RIP

Big Pimpin’ *
Scott Sigler, one of my favorite authors, has announced his tailgate tour. You can check it out right here. The tour is to promote his book The Rookie. What’s The Rookie? It’s American Football with aliens, humans and what can only be described as a very loose set of safety regulations. Sticking to his tradition [...]
Woot!
Carrie Heim Binas, author of one of my favorite blogs Heim Binas Fiction, saw fit to give me a Superior Scribbler award. That’s made my whole day, thanks Carrie! There are some rules to getting one of these… 1. Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass The Award on to 5 most-deserving Bloggy Friends. 2. [...]
Shorts!
I’ve finally got the short stories page up and running righthere. If you like stories, and you like them short, then this could be the place for you. The story that’s on there at the moment, Jack’s Echo (nothing to do with my last name, it just happens to be the main characters first name), [...]
