I didn't write today. I wandered around the book shop, the coffee shops, the manicurists, and I felt myself refreshed and renewed. Some days are like that. As I looked in the bookstores, and thought about all those books, who was selling, who was published, my profound thought of the day is almost always the [...]
Yesterday was a crummy day. I didn't write because I had to deliver disheartening news at work, and felt depressed about that. My office looked very much like a villain in my eyes, but if things don't pan out, the real villain will be the economic recession. I was operating on 2.5 hours of sleep [...]
Today's Hercules stats: 32 / 44(72.7%) WORD CUT!!! (Finally let go of the food fight orphan scene. At this point, it will not be in the story. Combined a couple of other scenes that were repetitive. 41,825 / 45,000(92.9%) *** In the realm of Jackal's First Hunt, 8 / 24(33.3%) *** And here's one of [...]

We're moving into the mythological part of the story, so the action is going to get more magical. 31 / 45(68.9%) Verbage? 42,640 / 45,000(94.8%) And the new project--Jackal's First Hunt, the last of the salvageable old fiction. I gotta [...]
First of all, around the internet, Elizabeth Chadwick's soundtrack is up! *** And then... I want to encourage you to support
So far, the writing I've done today. 28 / 44(63.6%) Verbage: 42,351 / 45,000(94.1%) Two Vampires and a Panel Discussion will be proofed for the next round of submissions to Abyss and Apex, and will be sent after the first of November. And that's it for today. Catherine
Icon let me know that this year's theme is spooktacular, given Halloween and all, so I decided to read from Substance. However, since I've read the beginning at a couple of other venues, I'll read the curse reveal, the four corners conversation, and as much of Esme's Trial as I can get through. I'm sneaking [...]
Another revised scene in Hulk Hercules, and a new one that I must polish. Next session will be polishing, and the Savage Dog wrestling match with Hera interference. 27 / 44(61.4%) Word count is growing. I expect some cutting soon, though. 41,866 / 45,000(93.0%) *** Two Vampires and a Panel Discussion first draft is done. [...]
The first Faery Taile Project is available on Amazon now. It's another fine product bought to you by Sonya Sipes' company Cat's Curious. Of course, you gotta think that since Cat's Curious is publishing Hulk Hercules: Professional Wrestler (and with luck and sales more MYTHtery Kids books!) my interest in publicizing in self-interested. Sure, in [...]
