Midweek rollup and countdown
May. 20th, 2015 06:41 pmI am not where I want to be with this second pass draft.
Howsomever, I have gotten to and halfway through the point where, in first pass draft, I thought "I''ll figure that out/fix that later." And lo it is later, and I have in fact figured it out. Fixed... well, that's for 3rd pass to determine, not now.
And I'm within the "yeah we're good" word count. So there is no stress on that side. I will add more, especially after the Research Road Trip gives me specific color and context, but the 100K word length is a more-or-less done thing (and m'editor always pokes at things that need adding in HIS pass, too)
I'd pluck you a bit in-progress, but it's spoilers all the way down, from here on.
And I finally got off my ass and took the MAST test, so I'm now legally certified to open, serve and sell wine in Washington State, well within the legal time for me to get said certification.
And I was interviewed by Adventures in SF Publishing podcast. So that'll go up at some point. They managed to put me to the blush, people. It takes very specific skills to do that... (about what? well, you'll just have to listen, won't you)
And now I need to cook up some chicken, and open some wine to get me through tonight's SPN season finale, and the next three days I'm wearing my wine-sellers hat, not my writer's hat, so that will be a nice change...?

Saturday, I hauled myself out of town to take a meeting. If anything comes of that meeting, y'all will be the third to know. Then I came home and was a slug on the sofa. Sunday's been Writers' Cafe and more work on the cracktastic project, and now all the words I didn't get written on Saturday. Plus cleaning.
Oh, and my interview for Qwillery, supporting Genius Loci, went live!
(and Genius Loci is $160 from their next stretch goal, with 3 days to go!)
Next three days: write all the words, do all the things. My friend Christine arrives from NYC Wednesday night for a long weekend vacay, Thursday afternoon I abandon her to the cats and apartment and head off for Norwescon, come back on Sunday, spend some more time touristing with Christine before she leaves, then do a presentation for the Seattle Free Lances Tuesday night.
Wednesday morning: I whimper a lot about being totally burnt out.
Sounds like a plan.

Aug. 1st, 2014 07:29 amI'm featured today on The Talkative Writer!
Meanwhile, I'm wearing the editor hat from here until Saturday afternoon, at which point the work hats go off and the Sock Monkey hats go on....

As a prelude to the release of DEAD MAN'S HAND, John Joseph Adams interviewed several of the contributors about their stories, their influences, and why they wrote what they did.... mine's here, if you're interested.
For your listening pleasure...
Sep. 13th, 2013 06:02 pmI am interviewed by the fine folk at Skiffy and Fanty, about writing, history, and yes, flesh-eating gnomes.
It’s a long-ish interview, but a pretty good one, methinks (and I rarely like any interview I do, so take that as a rave).
Catch-up Links
Sep. 5th, 2013 09:20 amI've posted the Tuesday Tease, for those of you interested in such things.
And I'm submitting myself to the Wendig Inquisition over at Terrible Minds....
And... it's D-11 for Gin & Tonic #3. So that's where I'll be, if y'all need me.

We’ve Cooked the Books!
Aug. 23rd, 2013 10:27 amIt's always odd to see the transcript of a video interview.... I really AM that random.
But for your amusement and eddification (and possibly your delectation): Cooking the Books, with Yrs Trly.

Mar. 20th, 2013 04:00 pmThe "Dog Talk" interview I did a while back is online now! In which I do a quick reading, talk about the household animals, learning Seattle to write about it, and what's coming up next....
(go to the 46: mark - the previous guest ran long, so we were squished for time)
