So this morning, while I should have been editing Linear Shift, Part 2, I decided to practice my nearly perfected skill set of procrastination and surf a bit of the internet. I follow a number of authors on Facebook, as well as read their blogs. One of those happens to be Hugh Howey. He is like my virtual guide to authorship.

Without further delay, here’s the campaign. If anything, click over to see … Read more

Suppose the contract … Read more

On the eve of Nanowrimo, and I have to admit I am in for some tough challenges in November. First off, I am in the home stretch of writing Part 2 to Linear Shift. It looks like I will be writing on the first draft through the weekend, and finishing up some revisions through Thursday. Once it’s off to the editor, I will be free of it until December 1st. But wait! I mat be free from Part 2 on Thursday, but on Friday morning, the family is on … Read more
I’ve been writing just about every day on Linear Shift, Part 2, and I am through 9 of the 17 planned scenes for the book. I have had a running word count target of 23,000 words, but updated it to 26,000 words a scene or two into the process. Well, I am here to update it again! After writing through the half way point of scene, I am now estimating the target count to come in around 32,000 words. And honestly, I think I will … Read more
