“The Fallen” begins!
The writing of "The Fallen" is now officially underway (as of March 1st)! After a season of growing peace, prosperity, and progress for mixed bloods, the secretive Foundationalists feel their whole way of life is threatened, and the future of Thuria is dark. Their...
The best kind of feedback…
When I was growing up, we had next door neighbors with kids about the same age as me and my sister. One of those, recently, via Facebook, saw a note that I had updated my writing blog and was surprised to find out that I write books! Now, it's not the first time I'd...
Troving is DONE! I’m ready to start WRITING!!!
Finally, finally, finally - but it IS worth it! There are a lot of different threads and dimensions of Fallen that I needed some background on before I started writing. After all, there are no less than FIVE BOOKS WORTH of history to account for! I'll probably hold...
“Troving” underway…
Hi there! After finishing up some writing "vacation time," I'm ready to start back into a "real project." Writing vacation, by the way, is where I write something exclusively for my own enjoyment - sorry, don't share those. Those can involve other characters from...
Dictation Software
Over the past few months, I've found a couple of additional ways that I can edit more efficiently using a tablet. Essentially, if I can record the book in MP3 format, then I'm able to playback using the audio of the tablet. Where this becomes especially useful is...
The Holiday Hiatus
You're probably noticing a sizable gap of time between my last post and this one. There's a good reason - editing! Pretty much all of my discretionary time has converted into editing so I could get Purebred out to others for review. Also, because this is such a busy...
Purebred formatting … the next steps
Okay, so I just finished the book. Now, what? Well, the first step (for me) is to get it formatted into chapters. Now, the formatting also does something else: it sets the page and text spacing to the correct dimensions. Now, with some degree of certainty, I can...
Purebred is COMPLETE!!!
It tops out at 439 pages (in its formatted state it will likely be considerably longer). The final threads that bring Van and Sahni to the Meeting Den are woven together, and the reasons they are there and why it matters to both of them are clear. For just a moment,...
Purebred over 400, approaching the finish line!
What a good month it's been for writing! I have to confess that writing Purebred has kind of taken out any other writing (including here) I would have done - well, that and one other little project. This, in many ways, is the most difficult part to write - how my...
Four and a half days!!!!
Now that I have reallocated things on my computer, I have room for all of my books in audio form, converted by some text-to-speech software I have. That's useful for portability and for making sure that I have good continuity. It also provided one other interesting...
