This should probably be listed as a LinkWorlds game update, but it doesn’t feel like one, so I won’t.

The problem is, I’m feeling a little overwhelmed and uninspired. The workload is finally getting me down. I was hoping to have a few people come in and get involved, if for no other reason than to provide ( Read more... )

Weirdest thing. I woke up from dreaming most of an original rapidfire timed historical quest chain for ‪#‎WorldofWarcraft‬ in my head. Never really had one of those before. I think I could write it down if I do it now.

Okay, I know, it’s been a while, and no news from me usually means too much is happening and I can’t find time to post. Well, big surprise, too much is happening and I haven’t found time to post.

I’m trying to finish a newish collection of (slightly) taboo short stories. They probably won’t be any more ( Read more... )

Sorry for the lack of posting over the last couple of days. I wish I could tell you it was because I developed a degenerative disease that was eating away at my fingertips, making blogging unpleasant and messy. But alas, it’s far less dramatic than that: I just didn’t know what to say. I wouldn’t go so ( Read more... )

Well, I’ve copy/pasted the start of my novel, PERPETUAL TUESDAY, a good 18000 words, into my reject folder. It was good stuff, so I haven’t deleted it. I’ve just removed it from the immediate environs of the novel. Some of it may resurface later, when it fits better. Or maybe none of it will. Hard to say ( Read more... )

Okay, here’s the last part of the abortive second take of the second chapter of YOU KNOW WHAT. Might post something else tomorrow, but I haven’t decided what. So have a good weekend, and for you American folks, have a Happy Thanksgiving. My wife and I will be doing it up right as well.

All this ( Read more... )

I’m caught in the horns of a dilemma: I’m trying to write a novel to a deadline, and I’ve painted myself into a corner.

Now, how many times have you been in this position: You have time set aside for hours of writing and little or no responsibilities immediately demanding your attention; You have just ( Read more... )

This is the second part of the second version of Perpetual Tuesday. It’s not going to be in the book. Take it for what it is, and enjoy. Second verse, same as the first…

This is the first part of take two of chapter two of PERPETUAL TUESDAY. It didn’t work out, either, because I tried to do this alternate reality thing with Kara and Richard still being together, but that idea is meant for the third novel, INTERMINABLE WEDNESDAY. So I abandoned it, even thought it sort of ( Read more... )

This is the aborted first take of chapter two of PERPETUAL TUESDAY. This version was killed in its crib almost instantly, for a second take that I also aborted. The story kept going places I wasn’t prepared to follow. For starter, this version wanted the Kara sections to take place in my home town of ( Read more... )
