Winds update…

Winds update…

I'm into the second chapter, which is a pretty cool feeling. I'm planning on writing three chapters, editing them, and then sending those to a few interested parties to see how the tone and opening feel. So far, I'm liking the feel of it, though I know I have to be much more conscious of [...]

Can anyone say "Multitouch"?

I saw some info on this display a few times in recent weeks, but I had no idea how cool it was. I don't know how practical it would be for someone to use all day long, but still… Me want! P.S. For those of you whoe were confused, LJ or more likely my LJ [...]

Back from WisCon

Wow. WisCon was a real whirlwind for me, mostly because I decided I would drive in each day (just short of a 2-hour drive for me from Racine to Madison). That lasted for, oh, the first night, when I drove home at 11pm and nearly drove off the road at midnight. Well, ok, I didn't [...]

Winds progress

Winds progress

I thought I'd post my progress on my book as a way to motivate myself. I already posted the elevator pitch for the novel, but I had written about 3,000 words by that point. So, that's where I'll start. I'll try to update my progress once a week or so. Oh, and the 110,000 words [...]

Writers of the Future

My friend, Bill Katz, who I shared my Writers of the Future experience with, has posted a movie created by the WotF people that documents the contest and the experience. If anyone's interested at all in the contest, it's well worth a look.

Query Letters

Taking my queue from (I seem to be doing that a lot lately–taking queues, that is, not necessarily from Di), I figured I'd post one of my query letters just in case someone finds it useful in their own hunt for an agent or editor. I'll post a few comments per paragraph as well. BTW, [...]

Starting a new novel…

Well, the novel has been in the works for a number of years in the back of my head. The first ideas for it started forming on a trip to the UK — Edinburgh in particular. My wife and I visited the National Galleries of Scotland, and I saw a number of paintings that really [...]

Man vs. Machine

Man vs. Machine

The Man vs. Machine anthology, which contains my story “Chasing Humanity”, is due out July 3rd. I'm really excited to be sharing a table of contents with these folks, especially Fred Saberhagen, who was a huge influence on me and my writing. Anyone who buys a copy and asks me to sign it for them [...]

Eight Random Things…

Taking my queue from , I decided to post eight random things about myself. 1. I used to pick onions. For one summer, when I was 14, I was taken early in the morning by my mother to a local farmer's house. From there my friends and I were driven 15 minutes and arrived at [...]
