Time management

By D. Moonfire On 2012-05-19 · Add Comment · In Writing
Having a bit of time management problems this last week. I have a number of projects, both personal and professional, and they were stepping on each others toes. At work, I’m in the middle of trying to solve a problem for a demo on Monday but things keep breaking. And, the major project I just [...]

Killing off characters and the hate mail that follows

By D. Moonfire On 2012-05-13 · Add Comment · In Writing
Whenever I write, there are various points in a story where I’m afraid people are going to throw the book aside and never read my stuff again. This is true with all stories, but with serials there is a week (in this case) between each post and during that time, people talk about their favorite [...]

End of the free era… for Casting Call

By D. Moonfire On 2012-05-12 · Add Comment · In Writing, Writing Announcements
For the last week, Casting Call was free for everyone. Now, for the next 83 days, it will be a free lend for Amazon Prime people and $2.99 for everyone else. In the week it was free, I had 182 downloads and 1 review. It was my second review ever and also a 4-star one. [...]

Casting Call is free for this week

By D. Moonfire On 2012-05-07 · Add Comment · In Commerce, Writing
One of the reasons I published Casting Call on Amazon was to try out the Kindle Select program. It is in there for 90 days and Amazon Prime members get to “borrow” it for free for all three months. During that period, I get one five day period to make it free and pimp it [...]

Casting Call by D. Moonfire

By D. Moonfire On 2012-05-05 · Add Comment · In Commerce, Writing
Casting Call is now available for the Kindle (and their cloud reader, PC’s, etc) for $2.99 (or the equivalent). For the last six years, Marla was a fixture of the wildly successful Donna’s Teddy Clubhouse, a show aimed for competitive Caucasian Northern American Girls 14 market. But, age betrayed her and she was fired for [...]

eBooks for Fun and Profit

By D. Moonfire On 2012-05-04 · Add Comment · In Writing
This was a brief introduction to eBooks for my writing group. What are eBooks? eBooks are, simply said, electronic books. There are a wide variety of formats that are all underneath the umbrella of “eBook” but the two most common formats today are EPUB (also known as OEBPS) and Mobi, but there are variety of [...]

Request for Casting Call cover opinions (4 total)

By D. Moonfire On 2012-05-02 · 3 Comments · In Uncategorized
One of my plans this week is to get a short story out called “Casting Call”. I’ve never done a Kindle book as myself, so it is an experiment but also a chance to do something fun. I think the writing is pretty solid, though I keep fussing with the last line, but stories need [...]

An obsession with data (a.k.a. “writers write”)

By D. Moonfire On 2012-05-01 · Add Comment · In Programming, Writing
Well, that took a bit longer than I expected, but I’ve managed to parse the Git and Subversion logs and turn them into a nice intermediate (I said “normalized” too much last post) format and then wrote another tiny little program to tag all my stories. All that work just to figure out the answer: [...]

An obsession with data (normalization)

By D. Moonfire On 2012-04-29 · Add Comment · In Programming, Writing
I had someone ask me why I’m writing these blog posts. It started with just a question I wanted to know (how much have I written), but it lead into something more. Over the years, I’ve ended up parsing a lot of data. It was my job for twenty years to take customer’s files for [...]

An obsession with data (Subversion edition)

By D. Moonfire On 2012-04-28 · 1 Comment · In Programming, Writing
It took me a number of days to clean up the output from the Git repository parse. I could have written a parser that handled the renames through Git but it was easier just to juggle data and handle the format changes which were never a Git rename (for example when I went from an [...]
