Whoa, it’s June. How the frell did that happen so fast?

I’ve spent all month working on Sweetheartcatalyst. I now have an agglomeration of wordage that I’m calling “Chapter 1″. It’s been very slow going, like wading through molasses. I realized that part of the reason for this is… um… apparently, I’m actually writing [...]

The good: I finished “The Collapsing Hills” (a 5K-ish short story) and passed it on to my crit group and have gotten some very useful feedback. Maybe a new light bulb is starting to glow in the murky depths of my writing brain, because I do feel like this is the most “done” first [...]

What I’ve gotten done this year in the writing department

January – I submitted “Algae” to an anthology of novella-length science fiction. I also decided that for my next project, I would condense a pre-existing, old sucky trilogy into a single volume, titled The Free City.

February – I worked on detrilogization.

March – I received word that “Algae” had been accepted! Continued work [...]

NoNoWriMo

Well, after resolving that I wasn’t going to do Nano this year, I’ve been seeing a whole boatload of my friends declaring their Nano intentions… and this really tempted me towards Nano’ing after all–but upon more mulling, I’ve decided to stick with the original plan. I wish all of you the best with Nano [...]

Going forward by going backward

Well, I’ve come to a decision: I need to start over on Sweet Heart Catalyst.

See, it took me forever to come up with what I have. First of all, my pesky main character had decided that he was a cop investigating a murder: a giant subject about which I Knew Nothing! (as Schultz [...]

The end, and other stories

I wrote the end of Sweet Heart Catalyst yesterday! Now all I have to do is write the, ahem, pesky middle part

But before I do that, I have to finish up that shortie about my bad guy who’s bad, bad, bad, and how he got that way. It’s about 1700 words so [...]

What I've been working on lately

Sweet Heart Catalyst progress. Slow, but better than going backwards!

Thanks to my writing group, I’ve received some very useful feedback on my first draft of the Wallwalker short story, which I’m now calling Encounter on Planet 352. Looks like I have my de-tripe-ification work cut out for me

I started writing [...]

Consider this wall... walked!

I finished the rough draft of Wallwalker yesterday! It feels good to actually finish a piece. I had been feeling a bit disheartened about my writing lately, for various reasons, and yesterday I finally realized that the only thing to do was to keep at it–which inspired me to bang out the rest [...]

Gung Hee Fat Choy! Happy Chinese New Year!

As of December 2008 I’m officially a published author. I have one (1) short story out there in the world. I guess it’s a very small thing, but it feels pretty good.

The piece is called “He Learned How” and you can read it online here. In the story, A.J. is sixteen and gay [...]
