Herc-o-meter: This morning, bright and early, I revised the Hercules/Nonna back story. Here's the scene count and the word count. I've started outlining a new scene at the zoo to do several things: interconnect Polly and Hera, give Polly a chance to be jealous of Diana, and give Leo an idea that strange things are [...]

The last of chapter 3.

I did what I set out to do today, which brings our Herc-o-meter up to: 25 / 44(56.8%) Word count is 40, 611. I've shored up the El Toro match, written an important investigative piece for the kids, and reorganized quite a bit. Our next scene is THE PAST, or how things came to be [...]

I read at Icon on November 1st at 5:30 pm at the Coralville Marriott. So, this is what it is to be a professional at a con, to be asked to read! If you were me, what would you read? 1. An excerpt from Hulk Hercules: Professional Wrestler, coming from Cats Curious 2. An excerpt [...]

Here we are again. My work life is just weird right now. As in waiting for something to do. A meeting that I had this morning was canceled because my partner in crime had to stay home and take care of a sick kid. I checked on all of the other people I need pieces [...]

That said, there are two short stories in there I'm willing to revise and send around. Two Vampires and [...]

Today's work so far. Writing the first draft of a Tim and Bianca scene writing to Dr. Livy. It's also a sweet scene where Tim asks Bianca out in spite of her youthful insecurities. Writing the first draft of Tony encounters Marshall again. It's a really playful exchange with Tony and his friends at lunch [...]

The Mindbridge book group took a look at Mark Henry’s Happy Hour of the Damned. We figured Halloween and zombies were a great match. The group was divided on Amanda’s likeability, but most of us were pretty sure that we weren’t supposed to find her a sympathetic protagonist. She sings on the level of parody, [...]

In the interest of pretending I don't care, no, that friendly email I received from Mystery Agent this morning in response to my news that I was posting things off didn't give me that thrill of excitement and woohooness. Nope. Uh-uh. Gods, what a rank amateur we're dealing with here... Status then. FYI, Mystery Agent [...]

389 / 389(100.0%) Well, that's a wrap. Now to write the accompanying missives, and get this back off to the agent. We return you to all Hercules, all the time. Keep your fingers crossed for me! I'm sure the suspense will kill me for some time to come, and I'll have to pretend that I [...]
