Writer Jam at Kryton Comics

This Saturday, June 12th, I’ll be at Krypton Comics (Westwood Shopping Center, 120th & Center), participating in a Writer Jam.  This will be the first in a series of panel discussions on the ins and outs writing and publishing.  I’ll be joined by local authors Travis Heermann, Chloe Neill, Marcus Pelegrimas, and Kylie Kinley.

The fun starts at noon, and is slated to run until 2:00 or so.

Stop by, if yer of a mind.  Hope to see you there!

Progress Report, in which I have Jeff Goldblum explain

Notched another three chapters on the Wet Work rewrite, although I had to cheat a little to do it, by including yesterday’s work in the total.  Hey, Mondays are usually dead time for me, so I’m allowing myself to count it.  Here’s Jeff Goldblum to explain:


Anyway, Magic Meter now stands here:

I’m happy with the fixes I’ve put in.  The first act now bears a much closer resemblance to what I’d originally intended for it.  More work remains to be done, but I feel like I’m on the right track.

Progress Report, in which rewrites and coach seats don’t mix

Back from my trip to Hartford and NYC.  Fabulous times were had, and one important lesson was learned:  if you’re in the middle of a novel rewrite, and you’re flying coach, it’s physically impossible to revise your ms and refer to your handwritten revision notes at the same time.  Furthermore, if the person sitting in front of you has his/her seat reclined, you will be just barely able to open your aging laptop enough to read your monitor.  Attempts to be productive at such times will only result in making you look very, very silly. 

Something to keep in mind.

A whirlwind visit to the Big Apple is also not conducive to writing progress.  But you probably knew that one already.

On the plus side, it’s possible–just barely possible–that inspiration for my next novel has struck.  Gotta play around with this for a bit.  I’ll let you know how that goes.

No updates for Write Club.

Back to the grindstone . . .
