A Wee Writing Update

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

Apparently if you’re a knitter, like my wife, then the thing to say when you’re describing current projects is to say you’ve got them “on the needles”. When I ask my wife what knitting projects she’s working on, she’ll say, for example, “Oh, I’ve got a pair of socks and an afghan on the needles [...]

Two Things…

Monday, October 31st, 2011

First of all, I want to let you all know that my short story, “Trying to Stay Dead”, is now live on Psuedopod. You should check it out here. Enjoy! Second, it’s that time of year again: National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), when tens of thousands of people around the world spend the month frantically [...]

Ways to Spend Money

Friday, October 15th, 2010

I’m hoping that soon I will be able to present blog material that isn’t just self promotion… Unfortunately, for the time being, I seem to be utterly uninspired to blog. So for now, in lieu of actual content, I present three ways that you can spend money. And, of course, they all have to do [...]

Just for fun

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Just for fun, I’ve uploaded a PDF of the entire text of my 2008 NaNoWriMo novel, Iron Horse Apocalypse. No giant squid, but there’s Cthulhu. To download it, click on the picture of the train: High level critiques are welcome! It may be full of anachronisms and cliches (not to mention a contradiction or two), [...]

Passing around the hat

Monday, August 16th, 2010

EPIC FANTASY! WITH COWBOYS! I’m not entirely sure what I’ll be writing for National Novel Writing Month this year. I have an idea that I want to write an epic fantasy (with cowboys) this year, which is very different from the sort of thing that I usually write. Last year I wrote Code Monkey: A [...]

That “Analyze Your Writing” meme that’s been going on and that I participated in turned out to be a scam, designed to drive the traffic of new writers toward a self-publishing business. Ah, well. I knew that having a writing style similar to Margaret Atwood’s was just too good to be true.* *Just for the [...]

You write like a girl

Apparently I write like Margaret Atwood. Here’s my proof: I write like Margaret Atwood It’s kind of peculiar. Not that I don’t like Margaret Atwood (though of her novels I’ve only read The Handmaid’s Tale), but… Well, it just seems like all of these “what is your writing style” tests, based on my blog entries [...]

I keep forgetting that I have this blog. Well, no, it’s not that I forget about it; it’s more like, in this world of Twitter and Facebook, it’s much easier to just post 140 characters and forget about it. Blogging seems like so much more work. So here’s some updates. First, before I get to [...]
