Yesterday, I posted a poll asking people to choose between two covers. At the moment, there have been 82 votes (one person voted in the comments because he or she didn't have an LJ), with 75 people (or 91.5% of the votes) choosing Cover 2, and 7 people (or 8.5% of the votes) choosing Cover 1 . Those totals can - and probably will - change as more ( Read more... )

A fair percentage of my flist is working on original fiction, and I have several published authors on my flist. Some are published in print, some are digitally published (or e-published, if you prefer), and some are both. Today, though, I'm going to focus on digital publishing.

Recently, I mentioned to whitemunin that I cringe whenever I look at my earlier stories, particularly the novel-length stories I wrote for the Labyrinth fandom. I enjoyed writing those two stories, probably more than I've enjoyed writing any others. They were fun to write because I was just writing. I blithely filled them with run-on sentences and adverbs ( Read more... )

I slept badly last night, so I'm struggling to keep my eyes open now. It was terribly humid here yesterday, and everything felt sticky, which is not conducive to sleeping well. Fall is finally creeping up on this part of the country, though, since I've recently been able to keep with the windows open at night. Last week, there was even an entire ( Read more... )

Almost all of the sshg_exchange prompts have gone out. There are a few that we're waiting to send for various reasons, but those should be sent by tomorrow. As expected, some people are happy with their prompts and some are not. Unfortunately, there's no way to make everyone happy, but we did try ( Read more... )

HarperCollins has released a multi-media version of an ebook that will allow the author to "pop up onscreen at various points in the novel to talk candidly about the plot's turning points and her vivid characters ( Read more... )

I've had a story idea in my head since just prior to the release of HBP, which as we all know, canon-shafted a lot of people's ideas, including mine. (And quite probably, DH will put the figurative nail in the coffins of a lot more ideas.) So, I put the idea into a file and buried it on my hard drive. However, instead of realizing that it was ( Read more... )
