February is a big month for James and I. On the 26th we will be celebrating our tenth anniversary. We've been through a lot to get to it, and I can't see us failing to make it unless something hugely unexpected happens. I wouldn't put it past life to do something like that to us, especially considering how hard things have been at points during ( Read more... )

The sponsorships page has been updated. I've been thinking a lot about this, because I realised if I'm going to be focusing on finishing things then I need the sponsorships to reflect that. Fortunately that isn't a big job, so I changed it from word count to number of stories, which means for every sponsor there will be at least one new story ( Read more... )

I want to spend some time this year talking about the stories I've written, complete or incomplete. My plan is to post a couple of these a week, focusing on different stories in different collections, and talk about the world at the time it was written, the characters, and the stories I can see writing to go with it.

Today I'm going to be talking ( Read more... )

Considering how many times I've complained about this, I'm sure you can all understand that I'm, once again, having issues with Fiverr's two week clearing system. I do have the money, but, thanks to Fiverr, I can't get to it. At the moment I don't have many external jobs, so I'm turning to my online friends for help. Groceries need to be bought. I ( Read more... )

Although I have this all up on Ebay I'm not having much luck selling, so I'm also going to post the list up here to see if anyone is interested in taking any, or all, of this off my hands. This is all art stuff I haven't used, because I don't art any more, and the paints have been sitting around for a little while, so I'm not certain how good they' ( Read more... )

I've got very little work on next month, although I'm hoping things will pick up, so I have time to take on some commissions for winter holiday gifts. Available, for the moment, are 10 5,000 word stories and 5 10,000 word stories, which can be set in the Many Worlds or can be something entirely different. The 5,000 worders are $25 and the 10,000 ( Read more... )

Invoice is still unpaid. Internet is driving me batty, because the signal is terrible. Have been looking after Tilly, Milly, and Bob since last Friday, but tomorrow is finally the last day of me being on duty. Am stressed... worried... annoyed... and just fed up with life right now ( Read more... )

I was going to go through my stories and post a list of some of my favourite beginnings, before realising I have far too many - which is part of the reason they exist. When I first started crowdfunding I wasn't entirely sure how I was going to make it work, so I made it up as I went along. This probably wasn't the best way of doing things. At the ( Read more... )

Illness means money's going to be a little tight next month, so I've been thinking about how I can deal with that issue, and as I have far too many stories that need finishing I will finish any currently posted story (the only exception being Case of the Counterfeit Enchantments, as I'm still working on changing the system I'm using for it) for $20 ( Read more... )

To make myself feel slightly less stressed about everything I'm offering to double the first month if anyone subscribes before the end of October.

If I get three subscribers, at any price, I'll post 1000 words of continuation for three stories currently posted at the website. If I get six I'll double the number of stories, and it will go up in three ( Read more... )
