Attempt number two at posting: I don't know if it's having so many tabs open (with links I've been collecting to share here) that's making Chrome slow down. I'm also not sure how my last livejournal tab got closed before posting (though that could have just been my slippery fingers). But I figure I'd better share some of this stuff and see if that ( Read more... )

I have a post I intend to make that has actual thoughts and ideas in it -- two of them in the works, now that I think about it. However, they require me to have time to sit down and think those thoughts, and then change them into words, and as I'm in the middle of an upcoming deadline for a somewhat intense project, that time just hasn't been ( Read more... )

A couple of articles caught my attention lately, one courtesy of Hippo tech columnist (and old writer buddy of mine) John (Jack) Andrews (who's over on twitter as @citizenjaq). Jack tackles the whole LCD vs. e-ink phenomenon that's happening as tablets get more and more popular. I've expressed my preferences here before: I don't like to read on an ( Read more... )

No guest blog today, in honor of my first participation in a huge giveaway contest. I've been talking about Barbara Vey's anniversary bash all week, and today's party, set in a castle, features a give away of a copy of Into the Reach, alongside a number of other amazing prizes (like e-readers!). Please pop by and comment ( Read more... )

There was something I was going to write about today when I first thought about blog entries this morning, but I have apparently forgotten it. It may well have been something about lack of sleep. But the day ended up going well: I finished a deadline and sent out two invoices, and billing my editors always makes my day a little brighter. (Getting ( Read more... )

For a change, I'm actually the guest blogger instead of the blog hostee! lbickle was kind enough to offer me a little space on not one, but three of her blogs! You can find my little piece on writing in other people's worlds here at Laura's main blog or at her Alayna Williams blog.I should have several more spots coming up soon -- I may have a couple of ( Read more... )

Interesting news in e-books lately (besides the fact that mine are available…):

First, Random House, the last of the big six to hold-out on the agency model (making it possible for booksellers to offer discounts and promotions on their books) has succumbed, possibly due to the announcement of the new iPad. I don't necessarily think the agency ( Read more... )

I keep having to turn the pages of my calendar. Time stops for no writer, it seems. Unless you have one of those really nacky time-stopping devices, but those are, admittedly, tough to come by, especially in this economy ( Read more... )

...and we're back. (As Google Chat would say after being randomly disconnected from the Internet ( Read more... )
