Writer Tamago

Deena Fisher of Drollerie Press was kind enough to put a notice up on the Drollerie blog about Blood is Thicker than Water, the novel I'm publishing for free at Las Habladoras. I only meant to share the information with the Drollerie authors, but this is really much nicer. So, here's a lovely bit of [...]

Next installment of Blood and first installment of Chapter 3 up at Las Habladoras. This also: YA for Obama. Check it out. Responsible for one of my favorite campaign images. Catherine

Yesterday was an arm day. I took some time off to rest the broken limb. Today, we worked some more. Here's where we're at. Hulk Hercules 2 / 38(5.3%) That represents 14 pages, and the first chapter. This has been sent off to Sonya for the Cats Curious party on October 4th at Fen Con. [...]

With apologies to Karen Mahoney, who probably should receive royalties from me every time I use the term Revision Cave. From today on, the Herc-o-meter will be done by revised scenes. All told, there are 38 scenes in the novel that are key. Some of them are in great shape, others are exceedingly sketchy. There's [...]

To be honest, this is what I look like at the end of the day. Note the lack of makeup and hairdo. Note the addition of stylish sling. The Rules: Take a picture of yourself right now. Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture. Post that picture with NO editing. Post [...]

Thanks to seeing it in many of your journals, I've decided to join JoNoWriMo, a month and a half of writers working on projects. See yesterday's plan. It'll be nice to have a support group. If you add the work curriculum into that mix, it's going to be a writerlicious month and a half. Catherine

Delusionally, I have determined to work on the rewrites of Hulk Hercules: Professional Wrestler and The Substance of Shadows at the same time. The plan I've sketched out for myself gives me a surprising amount of time in the remainder of September, October, and November to do both, with ample room for flex. It looks [...]

The first draft of Hulk Hercules: Professional Wrestler is done. It weighs in about 38K. 38,118 / 38,118(100.0%) *** What happens next? About everything. We've laid all the pipe, and have gotten a sense of the characters and plot. The only character who remained as planned was Tony. The rest of them went in interesting [...]

Because of my arm hang ups, I didn't get to blog live during the book group's consideration of Tanya Huff's Valor's Choice. This is going to be a shorter version of the usual as well. Readers who both liked the book and who didn't like the book had the same main reason: the book was [...]

I think I overdid it a bit on Monday. I took yesterday off work completely and rested my arm, and things are much better today. Still, I will be cautious. I won't write much here, because I need to save it for the first draft. I do want you all to know that my friend [...]
