MisterWives

Today was a concert day. My morning was spent recovering from the insomnia of yesterday and the evening was spent being entertained by a glorious set by Vinyl Theatre, Smallpools and MisterWives (who covered Eminem, Radiohead and Twentyone Pilots, respectively). Best concert I’ve been to in a while!

Sleepy Tuesday

D’oh! A sleep malfunction (read:insomnia) got me into work-mode super early, but I am unable to produce much in the way of words. Sat and tried to replicate the productivity from yesterday, but couldn’t hook into any story energy. Unsure if it is the scene direction or lack of sleep… […]

Super Monday!

Sneaky edits

I did write new words today, though they were all inside some CHILDSEEKER edits that I forgot I needed to do. Hence the title. Since I stared publishing things, it came to my attention that many aspects of the back half of Childseeker had still escaped some editorial attention. I’d […]

Shipment goals met

Hunting Midnight and Childseeker (Ch1-3) are both in the KDP! And the former has paperback version too… the cover of which I hacked together and have no idea if my PDF file is print quality or not but it doesn’t matter because it’s not like 9,000 people have it on […]

Rambling entry because it’s been a long week!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention yesterday: I didn’t manage any more super early mornings this week. My body was not up for it twice in a row (yet) and then Thursday evening I was out late and had too much vodka to sustain an early morning wake up. This evening […]

Surprise words!

Did not intend to write much, as it was yet another board games night. They are increasing in frequency lately, and part of me LOVES it and another part of me knows I need to not let them suck up too much free time. But! I (sort of) wrapped up […]

Broken dawn, broken drought

It worked! Slammed out nearly 1,800 words in the wee hours of the morning, despite having barely slept (getting up at 4:45am is much easier when you’re already awake, that’s one plus), and finished the day just over 3,500. Wrote four scenes in the latest HUNTING MIDNIGHT episode, and I […]

The shape of the story, the breaking of the dawn

Today I shored up that Wattpad ad and beefed up some supporting material. I’m seeing a wee bit of traction on Hunting Midnight there and want to nurture it in any way I can, even though it’s not a model that necessarily drives income or anything. Platform, and fanbase. That’s […]

#Drinksgitting

Happy Thanksgiving! Or, if you’re into day drinking, you can go with #drinksgitting, which is what the afternoon was. Later in the afternoon, I continued (painstakingly, yes) on publishing and KDP stuff, where I made the painful discovery that Amazon won’t let you list anything for free on a permanent […]
