Indie Writer vs Self-Published Writer

Five years ago, there was no substantial difference between these two types of writers. In fact, the term “indie” wasn’t being bounced around yet, and many of the writers publishing their own work today would never have believed they would do it had you asked even three years ago. Indie… Continue reading

Writer Wednesday – Novy Interviews David Lee Summers

I met David Lee Summers at CopperCon a number of years ago. It was about three months after he accepted a story of mine for Tales of the Talisman. David is a writer, an editor, and a professional astronomer. For somebody unfamiliar with the work of David Lee Summers, how… Continue reading

Progress Report – 4/9/12

This turned out to be a rough week for writing. I had a strong surge toward the end of the week, but not as much progress as I should have. I a managed 10559 words for the week, which is only 59 over target, despite having one day of over… Continue reading

Progress Report – 4/2/12

I had consistency this past week, hitting the word count every day, and only really shooing well past that target once. For the week, 11,425 words added to “Fishpunk,” bringing the total to 53,712 words of a projected 80,000. I’m getting close to the climax of the story, so unless… Continue reading

Progress Report – 3/19/12

It was a difficult week, but not an unproductive one. I spent the bulk of my time on Monday finishing the proof review of the CreateSpace version of Rigel Kentaurus. It’s done, so if you want your novels on paper, it’s available now. For the past week, I wrote 10346… Continue reading

Novels in the Works, and Are You Writing a Sequel?

Since I have been asked about a possible sequel to Rigel Kentaurus, I thought I would outline for you what my plans are in terms of what I’m working on this year, and my plans for what I’ll probably call the Deep Space series. For 2012 I made it a… Continue reading

Manning? Nope. Not in AZ.

You have to wonder what’s going through Peyton Manning’s head. Teams are wooing him, throwing money at him, and treating him like he can walk on water. I still think the Cardinals would have been an excellent team for him. They are working on the offensive line regardless of who… Continue reading
