Ywriter writing... →
I’ve been writing with Ywriter 3 (from SpaceJock Software, check them out at http://spacejock.com). It has made a big difference in my writing because I can spec out scenes I need to write ahead of time. Before now, I’ve had my rough outline, but that hasn’t given me the kind of control I really needed. I love the fact that I can, at a glance, look at how many words each chapter...

Heart of the Hunter Chapter 14 →
Please enjoy Chapter 14 “You do understand the concept of scouting, right Raven?” “What? Yeah. Sure. Just um, go see what’s going on. Yanno, look around and stuff.” “Yes. And there be one vital part of the job ye may be missin’.” PEter said. “What’s that?” “Lettin’ us know what ye found. That means comin’ back, ya see? Not gettin’ into it with ‘em. Do you have me?” “Uh, yeah. I have ya. Do...

Words trying to get out... →
I had “novellus interruptus” this morning because I was all set in my head to go write on the train and ended up not taking the train…This was because my typer thingy wasn’t with me - I had accidentally left it at work last night. Bleah. I was very happy to have technomom drive me to work - she spoils me so! Anyway, I am listening to Scott Sigler’s Nocturnal podcast...

Podcasts for today →
There are actually two for today. Over on Heart of the Hunter, you will get Heart of the Hunter, Chapter 13. But that won’t do you any good if you haven’t heard chapters 1-12, so go listen to those first! Here’s the first chapter for you. And on the NanoMonkeys podcast, I have a writing podcast up.

Heart of the Hunter Chapter 13 →
Please enjoy Chapter 13 Churysk could not stop shaking, as the rage from the shame built up in him. He wanted to launch himself at the swamp witch, wanted to rip her throat out. Instead, he kept silent. He had heard and seen too much of her power to doubt that she could well and truly deal with him should he actually attack. “What now, then? Am I to be reduced to kilkul, a lowly spear-carrier?...

Amazement... →
Didja ever notice how people become symbols once you stop communicating with them actively? The longer the communication lag goes, the more symbolic they become, until they are locked forever in your mind in one particular fashion. There are people like that for me. Either because of their choice (they stopped communicating) or mine (I stopped communicating with them, either out of need for sanity...

…perhaps the last post was a bit too dramatic. Really, this is not a current issue, and I don’t meant to be an attention hog about it. But it addresses something that is coming up in my everyday process.

Standing Apology →
I know it may be hard to believe, but I was a real jerk. OK, some people may still believe that I am still a jerk - *those* people can take that up with me now. But I am talking about a time back when I was working for White Wolf Game Design Studio. [ If you’re just joining the journal, I had a hand in the game design for Werewolf: the Apocalypse and Mage: the Ascension and was on the...
