Proofing The Wind on the Blade
I got my proof copy of The Wind on the Blade the other day, and I’ve started reading through it. I found a few things I want to change… And I’m only half way through. Not to worry though. They are all little things, thankfully. Typos, comma placement, word choice, a few unnecessary sentences. Shouldn’t…

Divergent Sea Bass
I’m surprised (and yet not) to see that September was the last time I wrote anything. Life is swimming past. We had a little snafu with formatting The Wind on the Blade recently, as I realized that there were two different versions, and the one that was imported into the book hadn’t been updated. I…

Necks and Tails
I had a realization about the final story in The Wind on the Blade, and it was that the guts and the bones are there, but some of them were in the wrong place. And the intent was wrong, or maybe didn’t even exist. I had an intent, as the author, but my protagonist did…

Broken Plates
I have added another 3605 words to the final story in The Wind on the Blade. Is it finished? Maybe. I don’t know. I’m tired and I’m not up for reading it back right now. I’ll do it in the morning. Or sometime thereafter. There is so much on my plate right now. My plate…

3am, writing
I am writing at 3am, trying to get the final story in The Wind on the Blade finished. It was an incomplete story in its first incarnation. The solution that I have been crafting, with my editor’s input, is something that is much longer and more involved than what I had originally imagined. Therefore, I…

POV of the Dead
I feel good about today’s work on The Wind on the Blade. I only wrote a little over 500 words, but they were good words. The POV shift that my editor suggested is so spot on. I don’t know what I was thinking before. The problem is that I had shifted the POV away from…

A Little Further
I got some good work in on the bonus story in The Wind on the Blade today and yesterday, mostly rewriting existing stuff, so it’s hard to give a word count. But I’ve gotten through the difficult bit finally. The rest is pretty good, although one section will need a POV shift. Then I get…

No Words Lately
I’ve spent a lot of time in bed these past few weeks, because of my surgery (which was for a hernia repair, FYI). I was frustrated that my recovery hit some unexpected bumps in the beginning, but I am feeling much better now. I’m still not supposed to carry the kid, but sometimes it’s been…

An Update & Some Free Books
Hello again. It’s been a long time, always longer than it feels. When I look at the date of my last post it’s kind of shocking. April 21st this time. Over three months. Oh, Time, how you deceive me. I’m going to give more regular updates on my writing progress and maybe life things here,…

A Great Movie Series?
I got some reviews to shout about recently. Headless got a 5-star review from Reader’s Favorite. Pikasho Deka said very nice things about it, like: “A delicious blend of murder-mystery and horror mixed with ancient Japanese folklore, Headless grabs you from the first page and refuses to let go till the end. Tristram Lowe weaves…
