Yes, I’ve been AWOL.

by | Sep 1, 2008 | cons, reading

I work too much. I need to cut that out. Anyway, I’m back from Dragoncon and have a possible short story idea or two, which is good because I’ve sold almost all of my short stories and only have two in circulation! I also attended a steampunk panel, which...

Yikes.

According to the spreadsheet of doom, it’s been nineteen days since I last wrote. I promptly threw out my last scene, too, so the word count is less. (61,687.) Did I mention that we were doing an email migration? I think I know what I’m going to do for the...

Um, hi.

Where was I before I got sucked into email migration hell? Oh, yeah. Wiscon. Why is the con over again? My reading went really well. In fact, my favorite author read right before me–she read an excerpt from an upcoming book that I’M SO EXCITED...

Bad Outline, No Biscuit

My novel has changed during the course of writing, which is okay. And I’ve updated the outline to reflect the changes. Sounds okay, right? Only there’s a bit of a problem. My main POV character is away from all the action for several scenes. Ack!...

I can has Debian.

Yeah, I realized yesterday that the Ubuntu upgrade had blown away my old xorg.conf, and that the new one didn’t appear to know that I had a video driver at all. I considered digging it out of backups, but no, I’m too lazy. Debian. And I restored my old...
