Workblog for the week: More censorship, plots.

Okay. So. That whole censorship fiasco? Ongoing. And maybe there's light at the end of the tunnel. You can read more about it from Mark Coker, Smashwords' CEO, here -> http://www.smashwords.com/press/release/30 <- however, two points out of that I take particular note of. Firstly, the National Coalition Against Censorship and the American Bookseller's Foundation For Free Expression… Continue reading Workblog for the week: More censorship, plots.

Workblog for the week: Awards! Plague! Censorship!

Okay. Awards, plague, and censorship are a lot to get through. Let's start on the easy stuff, how my work's been going this week. Still have very little faith in myself, but the faith of others has done a bang-up job of keeping me afloat. And, more to the point, towards a reasonable wordcount this… Continue reading Workblog for the week: Awards! Plague! Censorship!

Workblog for the week: The long and short of it.

Very little to report this week. There is some potentially very fun stuff on the horizon, although that can't be spoken of just yet, but it does involve thylacines. Also it's been snowing this week in London - very rare event, all things taken into inclusion, and so I've been staring at the snow a… Continue reading Workblog for the week: The long and short of it.

Workblog for the week: Dangerous Jade for sale!

Another week with comparatively little to report. I got some writing done on my novel, the Pirate's Beard, and had a bit of computer upheaval, and, OH MAN, IS DANGEROUS JADE LEGITIMATELY ON SALE NOW? YES IT IS. (According to the thing about the dates. The site will hopefully be updated soon.) Also someone reviewed… Continue reading Workblog for the week: Dangerous Jade for sale!

Workblog for the week: Lazy List

On our plate this week, we discover: The first review for Dangerous Jade, although it has spoilers. (You're safe if you've already read the first chapter's preview, however.) They had pretty nifty steam engines in 1750, however I will be branded a steampunk for including just one in my novel. I have finished off my… Continue reading Workblog for the week: Lazy List

Workblog for the week: My Cryotube is SPHed.

Apparently Dangerous Jade did fairly okay at FC, where it released last weekend. I am chewing off my fingernails, since apparently reviews are meant to be emerging from the shadows of the internet at some point, and of course Dangerous Jade is going to start shipping with online orders. (I will probably make noise when… Continue reading Workblog for the week: My Cryotube is SPHed.

Workblog for the week: FC? Oooh! Buy my stuff!

This is a brief Workblog for the week. I got some work done on the Brocade Goat, I got some work done on the Troy/Jen stuff I mentioned, but mainly? Mainly this weekend is Further Confusion, and people are (apparently) buying my novella, Dangerous Jade, right this moment! (Well. ... Around now, anyway.) Terribly exciting.… Continue reading Workblog for the week: FC? Oooh! Buy my stuff!

Workblog For The Week : Getting worked over by the muse.

After a slightly rocky start to the year, I find myself in the pleasant situation of being able to report that the muse has come along and inspired me to start work on something that may turn into a Troy/Jen novella or serial. It's a surprisingly significant whack of inspiration, too. The kind that most… Continue reading Workblog For The Week : Getting worked over by the muse.

Workblog for the year: 2011

This year I have achieved the following: I have started, written, editted, finished, and submitted for consideration, five short stories and one comic script. (The short stories have been bouncing around various markets all year, too! And some extremely rewarding positive noises/near misses, but no sales.) I have started, written, editted, finished, and submitted for… Continue reading Workblog for the year: 2011

Cheerblog for the holidays: Ho ho ho!

A happy holiday period to you all. This week has seen some noodling about with comic scripts on livestream, and also finally getting a toehold back in the treacherous climb toward writing the Pirate's Beard/Brocade Goat manuscript. (Which, amusingly, was a scene following the treacherous climb of one of the protagonists up a collossal hot… Continue reading Cheerblog for the holidays: Ho ho ho!

Workblog for the week: On a boat?

This past week has been incredibly unproductive. Why, you may reasonably ask? The answer will astound: I was on a boat. A very large boat. A boat named HMS Victory. And another boat, named HMS Warrior. And some museums. And I was otherwise around and about the highly nautical city of Portsmouth. Unfortunately, thanks to… Continue reading Workblog for the week: On a boat?

Workblog for the week: Blowing hot air.

So much of my week's been spent defeating writer's block, and it's been fairly successful - not the greatest week of writing, but far better than previously, and I finished a new scene which those I have shown it to, in order to gather positive reinforcement, have claimed to enjoy. Much of this involves a… Continue reading Workblog for the week: Blowing hot air.

Workblog for the week, uhm, Skyrim much?

Amazing how these weeks stack up. This weekend, I've started playing Skyrim. So next week's workblog might... be a little thin. As it is, this week's been filled with thrills and excitement. Dangerous Jade, my novella, is looking on track for the moment, and developments relating to the art for that's been absolutely thrilling. More… Continue reading Workblog for the week, uhm, Skyrim much?
