Where did this week go? Eh, nevermind. I know where some of it went. The past two days, though, seem to have flown by. I just have a few odds and ends to make note of here. First, all the books have been mailed to winners of my drawings and contest. The post office is…

As if I didn’t already know I’d have my hands full with that daughter of mine … Alex decided he didn’t want to read all the posts, so choosing the person who would win a copy of either Murdered by Human Wolves or Call to the Hunt came down to Sara. And she was easily…

I found this article about writers and depression by Nancy Etchemendy in a back issue of Speculations. With the approaching holidays, it seemed like a good time to mention it.

I just wanted to give a big public “Thank you!” to Nick Cook at the Message Board of the Damned for having me as the guest in last night’s chat session. If you missed it, here’s a transcript. The chat was a lot of fun and people asked some good questions. I was worried it would be…

Blackridge Entertainment has asked me to take a stab at writing the screenplay adaptation of my short story “Reunion” for the horror anthology film they’re doing. Seems a couple other authors have tried and not quite delivered what BE is wanting. The challenge, I’m told, is to produce a script with a defined beginning, middle…

Humph. Damn word meter isn’t working tonight. I did about 3,000 words today, bringing Ulrik up at a nice round 46,700 words. And we finally got to see some werewolf violence in the scene I just finished.

It’s still relatively early in the day, but I’ve knocked off about 1,800 more words for Ulrik. I’m on page 182, and something has come to me. So far there has not been any killing shown in the book (some happened off-stage). And, maybe even more surprising, there hasn’t been any sex, either. The three…

A couple thousand new words today. 43,942 / 100,000(43.9%)
