More convention goodness…  Notes follow the panel descriptions.
We Don’t Need Another Hero
From Kimball Kinnison to Dylan Hunt, strong-thewed heroes have strode the spaceways, protecting the galaxy from evildoers.  But the trend in contemporary literature is shifting from “heroes” to “protagonists” to “viewpoint characters”.  What are the ways that main characters can be used in science […]

Weeeee!  Guess what I’m doing this weekend?
Yesterday I spent the morning helping the guys finish the room sets.  Then I spent a good portion of the afternoon attending panels.  I’m going to note the panels and some odds and ends notes here to keep them on file for future reference…  Prepare to be bored… or […]

Smugglers in Space

I’ve created the ship for my space smuggler, Freya’s Tears. It’s based on the RPG Traveller. Finances are in order, the number of crew required, their positions and monthly salaries, etc. Just need names, general descriptions, and personalities. Working on that now.
Thanks to Nene, the plot’s pretty well in the […]

No more whining

At least at the moment. (No collaboration, either, Zero. LOL!)
I spent yesterday in hot and heavy emails with my friend, Nene. Her offer to help me figure out a storyline was very kind, and I wasn’t going to let the opportunity pass.
Having to put one of my ideas into an email in […]

While answering an email, I might have inadvertently come across the reason my production has slowed down so much. . .
Outlining.
Up until I began writing the Sanguire series, I didn’t do it.  At least not much more than to figure out what should be in the next chapter.  I responded to a mailing list question […]

Update

Not much of one, really.
Spent yesterday doing some errands and not much else. I have four glorious days off to recoup some of my losses. Woot!
Added a link to the left called Recent Interviews. It’s a direct link to an interview I gave Nonny at Evolution.
Off to reread Born of […]

Apathy and Ennui

Or Words to Describe my Writing These Days.
It’s not like the ideas aren’t there. I’ve got a list of over fifty story lines to draw upon for material, ranging in possibilites from short PWPs to a couple of potential trilogies.
It’s not like I don’t have a current project to work on. Orphan Maker’s […]

Enough About Me #12.5: In Which the Author Provides an Addendum, Allowing His Sources to Speak at Greater Length

Picked up from a link at tamboblog…
Enough About Me #12: In Which the Author Learns About Overworked Publicists and Nasty and Often Unrealistic Authors

Boredom

. . . set in yesterday. I vacuumed, swept and mopped, tidied the living room, played around with the computer network, cleaned up some files, changed icons on some of my documents, added a whole other section to my Cyberpedia on Shadow Plan, wrote two posts for my email RPG . . .
And still […]

Back to writing

At least a little. Finally finished a Slow Movin’ short that’s been on the back burner for awhile - Birthday Gifts.
Don’t Read at Work!

Doing a little housekeeping, changing some formats, adding a short or two I’ve forgotten to throw online . . .
Dancing was a story I wrote for the At First Blush anthology. Since Fortitude Press folded and I’ve regained the rights to this tale, I thought I’d finally post it for your reading. […]

Since 1973, Rockwood Junior Baseball (RJB) has enriched local children’s lives by providing the positive experiences of teamwork, personal achievement, and excellence through participation in organized sports. Unfortunately, that changed last September, when the league president […]

Still plugging along

Halfway through the next chapter. Lainey’s officially on the coast of Alaska and will finish the race within the next two days. Scotch has left her a note at the latest checkpoint (Shaktoolik, for those interested.) The delivery of said note has reminded her of the one she had been given at […]

1196

. . . and counting.
Got Lainey and Scotch through Rainy Pass and to the Rohn Roadhouse checkpoint. Some crappy trail, wild rides, and dangerous potential for spills, but they weathered it well. Lainey is getting over her constant fear as they rampage at top speeds over rough ground and ice bridges, through steep […]
