Made It Monday: Duh, Of Course It’s Cake :3

Welcome to #MadeItMonday, where I post something I’ve made in the previous week, and where you can join in and post something you made too! The rules are easy: post a pic somewhere of something you’ve made in the last week (ish; let’s say in the last month as the hard-and-fast) and tag it. Sit back and enjoy scrolling through all the beautiful things we’ve collectively created, and celebrate the fact that humans can be awesome!

*flail* (And also preorder links for When Worlds Collide, and the launch party details. But mostly flailing.)

I can’t actually recount to you all the things I have on deadline right now, because some of them involve the day job and some involve other personal things and most of it is just generally Not For The Internet, but oh my gosh: I HAVE SO MANY DEADLINES RIGHT NOW.

But! It has come to my attention that I haven’t actually posted here with the preorder links for When Worlds Collide yet? And also, the shiny, shiny hardcover will be available for preorder any minute now too! YAY!

YOU GUYS. I HAVE A...

Breaking with tradition, here is a text post for a Friday… Found on Liana’s facebook page. Hilarious.

Yup, It’s Official

Okay, making this official:

The blog will not update for four weeks from approximately Christmas, and four weeks in July.

Happy other-holiday season, and see you again on the other side

Oops I Accidentally Published Another Book o.O

Yep, true story.

See, I had these poems, and I was planning collecting them and, like, publishing them maybe in November or something? But then the printers had a discount on, and so I mocked up semi-final files so I could take advantage of said discount, only then the files were basically finished anyway because it’s only a book of poems after all, and then I uploaded them elsewhere so I could get a proof copy, only I accidentally hit ‘approve’ instead of ‘order proof’? And so the book is, l...

From The Ground Up…date (ha!)

Yo, #FGU!

Yep, it’s true: I finally, actually, mostly, probably, truly have tentative release dates for my epic worldbuilding book, From The Ground Up!

WOW has this been a long haul. If you know the story, skip the next paragraph, but in case you don’t…….

I wrote the proposal for FGU waaaaaay back in 2012 when dinosaurs roamed the earth.* It took, mm, I think about a year to actually be accepted? (Now I want to go look that up…. Yep, nearly a year. I subbed the proposal in Nov 12 and got a co...

What do you mean, How To Theme is finished????

You mean I actually have to start *thinking* about blogging again? Whoa. What is this.

More seriously, though, May/June are horror months at Le Daye Job and not having to blog so much then has been amazing. SO. I’m tentatively thinking I might schedule a book to post every May/June?? We Shall See, as they say. (And no, it won’t always be writer-centric non-fiction ;))

…Oops that’s the garbage truck coming past, forgot to put the bins out. Urgh. See me fail at scheduling this week, as ever in...
