aggrieved
---------------------------------------
May 09, 2010
 
"the eyes of an aggrieved poet" ... that's how an author I recently read described a dog, and that's how I like my poets - as adjectives. Poetry generally leaves me underwhelmed. Lyrics, however, are a completely different matter.
 
 
Think again...

One of the harder aspects of being a writer is taking a long cautious look at the contracts you have with a publisher... and deciding to cancel all of them. For me that was nine pending including 2 print books (OMG) and at least 20 already out in the world. Why did I do that crazy thing? Because these stories are my babies and I object to having them shaking by proofreaders who questioned a Shakespearean reference, attempted to change "Roald Dahl" to "Ronald Dahl", were too busy attacking my style to bother picking up on actual errors... yeah. A few other things in there, too, but when production quality goes down it's definitely time to rethink.

Might not be so smart to say such in public either. Ha. Onto researching options as I still believe in the stories and want them out there being enjoyed.
 
 
laying out the year
---------------------------------------
January 17, 2009
 
Having finished the second Pandora's Edge novel within a five week period and deciding not to do that again for at least three months, I submitted it today. I already have titles booked in on a monthly release schedule up until August so far. With the novel and the Halloween follow-up I want to do, plus a couple of sequels for various series, that's the year laid out.

Hmmm....

Sliced and diced to heaven then? Hmm.. the mention of Kantarr has made me want to revisit the early days. I know there is so much I've neglected with these tales.

Jaman the Cat Peddlar was just too good a character to stay a Flash cameo; he crossed over to short story land ... Katarr Universe, actually.

Awesome writing and published works.
