10.31.08 | A Sunny Day

Posted in General at 2:11 pm by Catherine Schaff-Stump

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 [...]

Posted in General at 7:01 am by Catherine Schaff-Stump

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 [...]

10.27.08 | Reading Choice

Posted in General at 12:33 pm by Catherine Schaff-Stump

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 [...]

I expect some cutting soon, though. 41,866 / 45,000(93.0%) *** Two Vampires and a Panel Discussion first draft is done. [...]

Posted in General at 8:03 pm by Catherine Schaff-Stump

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 [...]
