I just scanned through my last real post to this blog and can't belief that so much time has past. The girls were six weeks old and I was trying to keep the book going by writing during my planning period. It was a good idea, worth a try at least. At least I was trying to intend to do something....

Novel update: Finished that section earlier this week. Pseudo-finished it anyway. I'm letting Mary get a first read on it and I'm going to at some point run back through and clean it up a little bit before really calling it the third draft. As I've said on here many times, my approach to...

Reading and revising whole swaths of the novel, especially, I imagine, when the book is so damn big, is proving to be a very unique challenge. After reading and making a detailed plot outline of the next seven chapters, I thought I was stuck. There were so many options to consider. So many things that...

This last Wednesday I finished the third draft of chapters 1 and 2. Not bad for ten days work (most of which wasn't spent working on the novel). As for the goal to shorten this draft, so far the word count dropped about 1500 words between the two chapters. My wife (those of you who know her know...

Draft 3 can be put off no longer. My identical baby girls will be here in about two and a half months and who knows how much time I'll have to write once they're here. I have a 31 chapter, 173,000 word monstrosity that I need to do some serious revision on. If I'm going to do this it's...

Alright, so the plan isn't that new. It's different from last year's but it's the same overall plan. 2012 is poised to be a year of unparalleled change in my life, leaving me helplessly busy and most likely suffering from unrelenting fatigue and exhaustion. My full time job as a tenth...

Wow. It took four months longer than I'd hoped, but it's finally done folks. The second draft of my novel, Star Song: Detour on the Alkan Run, is complete. Before anyone sets off any fireworks, yes, there will most certainly be a third draft. And probably a fourth. But now that I've rained...

Yes, with the immortal words of Lee Corso, I tell you I intend to impart several points of interest. First and most importantly, I got published again! HUZZAH! I got the acceptance letter today for another one of my scifi flash pieces. It will be featured on Every Day Fiction either next month or the...

Well, I guess this makes it official. I'm a freelance writer and copy editor for the new Electric Vehicles Magazine. I received my first paycheck in the mail today for a grand total of $265! The first issue of the magazine isn't out yet, but as soon as it is I'll have links on this blog to...

One of the stories that I announced last month would be published will be online tomorrow on everydayfiction.com . "Blood Oath" will be the top story on the home page and then will be pushed down one story, blog style, every day after that. Please stop in and give it a read. I will keep you...
