That big to-do list of mine isn’t going anywhere, so I’m blogging sparsely this week until I catch up on my rewrites to Iron Codex II.  (I really hope I’ll be able to share the title and cover soon, because the cover is ah-mayyyy-zing.)

So, that list:

• Revised draft of Devil’s Business - March 7
• Revised draft of Iron Codex II - April 1
• 50 pp. proposal ( Read more... )

Feel entirely free to skip this post.  I’m just keeping my work-self accountable and updating my way overdue list of books read (woefully few over the summer, but I’m picking up again.)

• Write chapbook to accompany The Curse of ( Read more... )

Well, it appears that my new thing about trying not to doomsay when the slightest roadblock falls into my path is working.

Never done one of these before, but I'm going to be gone all day and I am trying out the mad science of the WP time delay. (If you eljay people get it earlier, just think...you are reading a post from THE FUTURE, where we all have bionic lips and flying dinosaur cars. As in cars made from bionic dinosaurs. Not some Furry thing. In THE FUTURE all ( Read more... )

The big happy up front--The Witch's Alphabet went from 79,000 words to roughly 120,000, with only about 3,000 words of cuts. Clearly, the book had more to tell me when I started editing.

I make lists.  A few people on my blogroll keep a list of their completed works/WIPs and I thought it would be a useful resource for readers and, well, me.
