I am a raging beeeyotch. I don’t really like myself that way. So I’ll probably start downing more again. Strange, but I really thought I’d be more mellow. Maybe it’s just a withdrawal phase? I’m finishing copyedits/revisions for Demon Bound (new beginning, new ending, various stuff throughout) which I have to mail out Wednesday, so […]
Because it relies too much on having read Demon Night. Another exchange will take its place. But I’ll post it here. 🙂 *** “Miss Charlie, your city is safe for one more day.” Drifter settled into the stool next to Jake. “And it seems to me I know a novice who’d also benefit from a […]
It never fails. Deadline or revisions/copy-edits? I get a massive kick-my-ass-and-call-me-Sally head cold. This is what pulled me out of it long enough to blog: Oscar Wilde kicks ass in a Jonah Hex comic. Totally surreal. The revisions/copy-edits have to go out on Tuesday, so I should be alive again then. I have a guest […]
So, a couple of weeks ago I got this really fabulous e-mail from a proofreader who got a chance to look over Demon Moon before it went to the final printing. So there I was flushing and kicking my toe in the dirt, all “aw shucks” when the sneaky and manipulative part of me thought: […]
Usually when I say that, it’s a bad thing. But in this case, I’ve just been working on the page proofs for DEMON MOON, and having a great time. I must have read through it five more times this week, and I still love the characters and the story. It’s long, it’s long, it’s long, […]
So, today is Valentine’s Day. Which means that my sister, who works at Godiva and lives with me, has to be downtown at 5am so that she can start dipping strawberries (see this page for an excellent rant about those strawberries). Which means that I have to get up at 4:30 am to get her […]
Thursday, January 8. Weather: Cold but Clear. Meljean is still “woot”ing. (See previous entry. She really likes peanut-butter-and-banana sandwiches — and thanks to everyone for their comments and congratulations!) The phone rings. It is the FIL, reminding Meljean that she was driving him to the U-Haul place after she drops the tot off at pre-school. […]
I think it’s great that people still use things like a phone book to look up a number. But I a) hate talking to anyone on the phone so much that I let my answering machine get EVERYTHING b) won’t call anyone unless I absolutely have to, and usually know the number already c) don’t […]
I’ve heard that my book is in Wal-Mart, which is very cool. I’ve also gotten some very lovely e-mails from readers — thank you all 🙂 There’s really nothing more fantastic than opening up an e-mail to see that someone enjoyed Demon Angel, and that it was money and time well spent. It’s almost 11:30, […]
…I’m totally changing them. Maybe. Okay, and not totally — just rearranging some of the scenes to give the opening more oomph. I think oomph is good. But still basically the same, as far as content goes — and if I can make it work. I hadn’t intended to change those chapters all that much, […]
So, I finished the Doyen Scrolls page (although I’ll update it with additional info and subjects later, and also a timeline and links to make navigation through the page easier). Initially, I was just going to have a long, boring-ass explanation of the background, what a Gift was, why free will is important, things like […]
