That’s one thing to call it
“Irreconcilable editorial differences.“ That’s the word as Signet and Cassie Edwards part ways. Thanks to the Smart Bitches for the tip. (Or, if you’re the AP, the Smart B——)

The government can’t even pander to me correctly.
Economic stimulus, YEA! But, please note the oddity in the following scenario: I do my taxes, and per usual, am cutting the Government a honking big check. So we’re in the position of sending them about $2500 (over and above what we’ve given them to date) so they can give Read more…
Apotheosis Trilogy
In case you’re wondering
Now that I finished the unscheduled spec novel (the first draft anyway) I am now in the throes of doing an editorial rewrite on Wolfbreed #1 (did I mention I need titles?) which will probably take me through mid-April (tax day, wheee). After that’s done the plan is now to Read more…

Projects and Counters and Stuff
It’s a new year and I’ve revised my project counters. I have ditched the counter for The Unicorns of Hunting Valley because it seems very unlikely I’ll be able to justify getting back to it any time in the near future. (As in, any time in 2008.) I’ve added a Read more…

Bummed
Well it looks like I’m going to fall short of my self-imposed deadline for Prophets. I went and caught the flu. When I get to feeling this kind of blah, I find it hard to read, much less write. So down to around 500 words a day for the time Read more…

The weird things you discover when finishing a manuscript
I didn’t write a chapter 12 for Prophets.No, I didn’t leave anything out, I just went straight from 11 to 13.No, I don’t know how it happened.Yes, this is a sort of pointless comment.
