It was one of those random quirks of timing, serendipity if you will ( Read more... )

Been a while since I did one of these.

Was sick with the not-pig flu last week. Missed two days of work, came back to a clusterfuck. Had to sacrifice camping because of those two vacation days I took. :P

Oh well, I can still go to Pittsburgh Irish Fest and Celtic Classic.

Finished reading 'Unquiet Dreams' by markdf. Excellent book, as usual. I really ( Read more... )

Note to self: It really should be 3 nights to the full moon, but it may need some tweaking in chapter one. So remember to use the phone booth to go back, change the six to a three, then go back again, get the jail cell keys, and free the historical figures. Oh, and make sure it doesn't say 'Friday' anywhere in chapter one.

I don't aim to be a 'gay author', or have my books shelved under the LGBT sign. I just want to tell the stories I have in my head. The fact those stories contain a healthy amount of gay characters is no different than any other author writing about what he knows. The fantasy genre tends to break that convention somewhat, particularly if you're ( Read more... )

When I first wrote the first NaNo draft of Gypsy Fiddle, there was basically one POV, Kostyantyn's. I had planned on going back and filling in the 'gaps' with POV from Dan and Lincoln, but as I went back to do that, I started adding Sorin's and Kane's POV as well ( Read more... )

Here's the scene which inspired the poll. I'd like to note I'm not stressing over this, I'm just curious what people think.The sound of helicopters makes Kostyantyn's heart jump before he notices that the TV is on, colored flicker on the wall, hushed voices and the sound of gunshots. Why is this on when nothing else is ( Read more... )

So I was having this dream that I kept snoozing for. It was somehow Merlin-esque but not exactly. I was some sort of commoner/servant in love with the prince/noble, and his daddy, who bore a resemblance to Athony Stewart Head, disapproved. Until we put on an impromptu concert a-la Scythian's Celtic Fling Ceilidh finale and he could no longer argue ( Read more... )

I think I jinxed myself with Gypsy Fiddle by posting it on OWW. I should have finished it before starting to post. My plan made sense at the time, but now I have all these changes to make, and not even a finished product to work on. In some ways it should be easier, since I can just make changes to what's already there without worrying about ( Read more... )

I'm supposed to be getting back to work on Gypsy Fiddle. I do have a few ideas I'm going to implement in the first few chapters, but I just can't seem to get started back up. It's happened before but it always frightens the fuck out of me. I guess because without this all I have is a cubicle and following a band around PA. And that's pathetic. It's ( Read more... )
