Conference call tomorrow with the various companies behind the Greek books to sort out the mess that is book 2. If I knew I was going to have to write the plot myself, I might not have taken the job. Still ( Read more... )

I'm back in New York, STILL recovering from this bronchitis/flu thing that has kept me down for two weeks now. Argh.

I signed up for NaNoWriMo. I don't particularly have any novel ideas that don't involve Aristotle and are full-formed, but I like the program. Also, all of my books are in a holding pattern, as Sourcebooks is waiting from sales of ( Read more... )

Time to get the manuscript out to people who requested them. stormsdotter , I need your address.

Anyone else who wants in on looking at Aristotle Vampire, please email me. I have enough people on grammar that I really only need an opinion on the material. And please, no more hard copies. It's a novel. It's not easy to print and ship. Anyone who reads it and ( Read more... )

Getting ready for the big move to my new apartment. It's only a block away, but it's still a lot of books to move. We have a mover for the big stuff but there's a LOT of little stuff.

I think I'm mostly done with this revision of Aristotle Vampire. I tried, on recommendation, taking the vampire society stuff out and focusing entirely on Aristotle ( Read more... )

You know that mysterious exhaustion I complain about from time to time? It's back. I think it's the heat combined with the real estate market (we signed a lease on Friday afternoon for a new apartment, two blocks from my old one) that stressed my body out, as nothing has ever shown up on blood tests, but G-ddamn do I hate it. My writing is at a ( Read more... )

I'm definitely going to give Aristotle Vampire another go. Not revising the draft I have now, but removing all the vampire society stuff so there's only maybe a couple dozen vampires in the world and they're only characters if Aristotle needs to interact with them for some reason, so the entire focus is on Aristotle and Alex. This may be too narrow ( Read more... )

My armor's gone home (my dad swung by to pick it up) for Pennsic, which means I can't work on it much before leaving as I'll be in NYC through Tisha B'av, but that's the way it is. I may resort to using my old arms (read: armor for elbows) as I'm not quite sure how to correctly pad and tie the new ones, but I have new legs (read: padding for knees ( Read more... )

So I finished watching the series and signed the contract, which means I'll be seeing some money coming my way soon for this Greek thing, which is good. I have to have the plot hammered out and the first chapter done by June 30th. The second part would be done overnight if we could get over the first part ( Read more... )

- Flashbacks to 3 years ago are less effective when the younger versions have MORE facial hair

-“My mom’s converting to Catholicism. I have to go to Mass!”
“Mass? You’re dead to me!” (shoves him) Man, I love the crazy Christian guy.

- Haha, they did another flashback and forgot to put the fake goatee on Evan for consistency. And yes, it ( Read more... )
