My Novel

My Novel I talk about ‘my novel’ a lot.  Really, there’s more than one. The first, well, second if we’re going by what was written in what order, is my contribution to Epic or High Fantasy.  It is nowhere near ready for...

The hardest part of writing for me

There is one thing above all others that I find difficult to do when writing: name things. When it comes to names for people, for places (fictitious places, obviously), my mind really does go blank. I will start to develop a character in my head...

So – I’m behind

Man, being sick really put me behind the eight ball (old saying. Look it up.) I am behind on several projects, not the least of which is some posts I promised Sf Signal. I’ve got a couple nights of podcasting to do this week before I can...

Got Vocabulary?

I remember the first time I saw the word ‘apoplectic’ and wondering, what in the name of heaven is that?! What does it mean? Where did it come from?! I was intrigued. I saw it again, years later, in the Robert Jordan ‘Wheel of...

Where do you keep your writing?

One of the possibly dumbest things I do is carry my writing with me on a little USB drive. It occurred to me just last night that I haven’t backed it up to anything in a very long time and it’s very rare that I ever print anything out...

Not everyone is gonna like your writing

In tenth grade, college prep English, we did a lot of creative writing.  We also did a lot of reading.  None of the reading was genre stuff – no fantasy or scifi.  It was mostly ‘literature’, which is fine, but I’ve always...

Music is important when writing: my iTunes playlist
