Everyone else seems to be weighing in on the future of e-books, so here’s my two-cent licensing fee. The New York Times recently published this article regarding retail price vs. the overhead of distributing an e-book. Eric from Pimp My Novel weighed in with some useful facts essentially showing that, while it is true that [...]
So I started this post a couple of hours ago from the waiting room at the doctor’s office. I figured I’d give wpToGo another shot, and it progressed quite well now that I am a bit more comfortable with the virtual keyboard. (Also, yay the Better Keyboard app!) Unfortunately, although I hit Save several times, [...]
As many are aware, Strange Horizons, an important market for new writers and purveyors of damn cool speculative fiction, are having a fund-raising drive this month. What you may not know is that today, Friday 08/14, VPXIII instructor and Hugo-winner John Scalzi is matching donations. This is a great gesture on his part toward a [...]
We all need a swift kick in the posterior now and again. For me, this post did the trick today. Maggie Stiefvater’s “Giant Butt-Kicking How to Write a Novel” post serves more as motivation than a how-to, but it’s a good reminder nonetheless.

This weekend I finally got around to re-posting my Muzak page, after hacking together a version of the XSPF player that doesn’t break my WordPress theme. Check under Pages and be very afraid. One of these days I may even get around to posting a Writing page.
Well, blow me down. Even dinosaurs eventually catch on that the world is changing. First we had music industry execs coming to the shocking realization that they can’t force people to stop downloading and buy CDs. And now the RIAA, champion of draconian strongarm tactics the world over, has officially declared the death of DRM. [...]
I’ve started playing around with flash fiction. It’s an interesting form unto itself, and fairly challenging. It’s difficult to share an idea in less than 1K words, let alone make it a complete, satisfying reading experience. I think it’s a good exercise for honing chops. Much continues to be made of new trends toward shorter [...]
Brad Templeton just posted an excellent essay on the Letdown of the Century, the series finale of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica. Much has already been written about that giant, barely coherent ball of deus ex machina, but I found the timing perfect for me as I work through the mechanics of an ending for my [...]
