Sorry for some of the intermittent posting. I have spent most of the last few days filling out interview questions for my blog tour through Goddess Fish Promotions. For those of you who do not know what a blog tour is, basically a promotion site sets you up with guest blogs / reviews of your […]

FB, Promo, and the Etiquette Dance
This blog was inspired by a recent column on FB and author posts. I’ll be honest–I thought the author was a little too self-reverential at times, but the basic underpinnings were sound. In this blog post I’ll amplify some of his points: Word count and editing: I don’t think this is a hard full stop […]
Write Pack Podcasts
Sorry I’ve been a little behind in posting these. Had the great fun of being ill for a bit and got behind. I did two more Write Pack Radio Podcasts that have been published.

Howdy everyone! Sorry I’ve been so quiet over the last few days. I’ve been doing National Novel Writing Month, a.k.a. “NaNoWrimo.” For those who don’t know, information can be found at nanowrimo.org . Unless your name is Michael Stackpole, it’s probably too late for you to knock out the requisite 50,000 words this year…but you […]
