The House on the Rock
The morning after last week’s dandy Midwest Independent Booksellers Association meeting in Spring Green WI, I hied myself over to The House on the Rock. I had heard a lot about it, read about it in American Gods, and decided that I needed to check it out. OMG, that place–it is insane. There are huge pots … Continue reading The House on the Rock →

Sometimes I’m an a**hole. There–I admit it.
First, read this post. Thanks to Kristen Britain for pointing it out over on the Facebook. These are so true. All of them. With me, so much with #2. I know of at least 2 past interactions with perfectly nice people that I bobbled because Introvert me had hit overload and just couldn’t anymore. So … Continue reading Sometimes I’m an a**hole.

Lessons learned (long post)
Alternate title–all the things I should’ve learned while writing GIDEON, and didn’t. If you do this writing thing long enough, you may find that your method of working changes. Plotters become pantsers and vice versa. Outliners stop and folk who swore they would never outline start. Lone wolves give the coffee shop or shared office … Continue reading Lessons learned (long post) →

–30–
Turned in JERICHO this morning. Not sure when to expect the edit letter–probably in 2 weeks or so. Revised version will be due mid-May, which is after C2E2, but before Phoenix Comicon. C2E2 is a short trip–there’s no air travel, and while I will be staying in the city, it’s only for a couple of … Continue reading –30– →

C2E2 panels!
I’ll be on a couple! Gallows humor–I really tried to inject some humor into GIDEON because I truly believe that you can’t fear for or cry with someone until you’ve laughed with them. But I was pretty much only able to stick in the odd character comment or rejoinder–really gentle stuff. The extended humorous section … Continue reading C2E2 panels! →

The downward slope
Shook the schedule up a bit today, and started off writing. 1700 words later, took Gaby for the usual walk. It was a little difficult to sit and work while she sat by the back door and stared, but first thing in the morning is historically my best time wrt writing, and I need to … Continue reading The downward slope →

Oh look…
…it’s snowing. Very lightly, I will admit. I so pity my friends who live in the Northeast. That said, I guess we could wind up with 1-3 inches additional, which I could live without thank you I AM SICK OF THE COLD MAKE IT STOP. ::ahem:: This will be a hit ‘n’ run post. I’ve … Continue reading Oh look… →
