moments

November 23, 2008 – 9:52 pm

Sven for the week came in around 8K. Over half came this weekend with Sydney book 5, so I’m pretty happy. Once Larissa and I get rolling on the Syd books, they tend to fly, so I’m hoping this one will follow that pattern.
I was thinking this weekend about moments – I’m talking [...]

Sven progress & Writeminded

Sven: A little over 1.5K
Migraine: Day 4
Proposal is done and sent to agent. Will hold breath (metaphorically, of course) until she lets me know her thoughts. Revisions on Chris’s book will go to editor Friday. I’m starting to feel free – and it’s a nice feeling.
Today (and last night), [...]

Dear People in charge of scheduling The Unit,

November 17, 2008 – 9:20 am

Did you not realize that football would screw it up every single weekend, forcing me to stay up way later than I need to? Especially since DVRs are not smart enough to figure out that they need to tape 1/2 later in order not to cut off half the episode?
Seriously, someone needs to plan [...]

shifting gears

November 14, 2008 – 11:26 am

Sven yesterday: 1226 words + longhand synopsis (synopsis is hanging at about 1500 words)
Today, I got some light revisions for Chris’s book (Hold On Tight – book 3 in the SEAL trilogy) thumped against my door – I’ll be motoring fast on those and then all three of the SEAL books will go into copy [...]

no surrender

November 11, 2008 – 8:34 am

Dear stupid bureaucracy-ish people I dealt with all day yesterday who sucked up all my time, energy and generally made me want to beat my head against the wall,

Day 1

November 10, 2008 – 9:33 am

I need to come up with better blog titles.
Anyway, today’s goals for Sven include:
- writing 1K on Cam’s proposal
- Firming up the synopsis on Cam’s proposal. (note: firming up is a nice way of saying, string together the crap I’ve written in short little sentences all over the place and try to make [...]
