writerly update

On Sunday I was on Kindle Author Blog, go check my interview, in case you haven't already from Facebook! :-D I'm still talking about Air, but also the other BoI… which means I'll have to get back to work on Water soon! ;-)


In the meantime I'm inking SKYBAND chapter 7 in the morning and finishing the historical novel in the afternoons. I have two weeks like this, so hopefully next week I'll be able to draw chapter 8 in the mornings and do the coloring and lettering (for which I need my home desktop computer) on chapter 7 – does that mean I'm inking on Day Job time? Yep… ;-)


I really hope to wrap up the first draft of the historical by the weekend. In the meantime I would like to thank the two bloggers, one friend and one member of my offline writers group who replied to my plead for help, allowing me to write a scene I had totally skipped in draft zero. It was easy to write as a movie scene, much less in a novel. All three gave different views and details, so you will be all named in the acknowledgments page when this is all done. Thanks again for the much appreciated help, hope I'll be able to return the favor sometime.


After reading Shaina Richmond's post on free e-books, I decided I will sign up at FeedBooks and upload some free read. I'm also considering leaving Jessamine for free on both Smashwords and Kindle – after all it was free when I posted it on Serial Central… So, it's FREE on Smashwords already, and can anyone tell me how I make it free on Kindle? If I go to the page, it doesn't allow me to change the price and un-check the royalty rate – should I re-upload it as free? Sigh.


Also I pulled out my first e-book (PDF printed version, as I still don't have an e-reader) to read… and then I got a screenplay to review from a friend. Hopefully I'll be done with that when this post goes live, so tonight I can start reading. And I'm almost sure it's a page-turner, so Friday I might have a review for you.


If not, I'm also reading the writing mags I bought last month in London, so I'll share stuff I found there with you in case I don't have anything else. I hope to get to your blogs during the weekend, like I mentioned last week, so don't worry, I'm not forgetting you, I'm just maximizing my time! :-)


Non-writerly update: I got the second (of 3) Amazon parcel, so my list of ToWatch DVDs is going up. And I didn't watch any last weekend, so they're all there. I've just added Dhoom 1 and 2, Darr, and Jodhaa Akbar. I'll make it through the pile, eventually…
