Entries
- 2017-05-30 Mikáryo, Datobàpo, Flight of the Scions, Patrons, and Sand and Bone 33 - We are rapidly heading over to the end of the novel, only three more chapters including this one. We also get to revisit two characters who were influential in Rutejìmo's life as they get one last chance to give their respects and encouragements.
- 2017-05-24 State of writing with Markdown, YAML, and Git 2017 - A year ago, at one of my more successful panels at WisCon, I was on a panel with K. Tempest Bradford and Kristine Smith talking about writing processes. I got to see a lot of cool gadgets but I also got a chance to talk about my processes of writing with Markdown, YAML, and Git.
- 2017-05-23 Giveaways, Patrons, Sorrow Rides a Fast Horse, and Sand and Bone 32 - A busy week as I reach the end of Sand and Bone being serialzied on my website. There are giveaway, decisions, and a call for patrons. Not to mention a short chapter of Rutejìmo night time run.
- 2017-05-17 Second-Hand Dresses 3 - So, it's been a long time since I've done anything with Second-Hand Dresses but a number of folks on Wattpad stumbled on it so I was feeling guilty about not updating it. This evening, I did a little organization on the first chapter, split it in a half, and then merged it with the first section of the next chapter.
- 2017-05-16 Master Plots, Book Identifiers, Wind's Teeth, and Sand and Bone 31 - It's hard to believe that I'm near the end of the book. Only a few more chapters left. I'm betting I can abuse Rutejìmo a little more before the end though, besides there are a few plots (but not all) to finish up.
- 2017-05-13 Anniversary, Website, and Sand and Bone 30 - This week has been a lot late, I apologize for that. I decided to redo the Fedran website and try to fix a few things. Fortunately, this week is a very short chapter that bridges two important scenes.
- 2017-05-03 Bryan Aiello podcast - This afternoon, I did my first audio interview/conversation about writing. It was with Bryan Aiello and his new podcast.
- 2017-05-02 A Warrior's Fate, The Noble Death, and Sand and Bone 29 - I've always said that Sand and Bone was inspired by Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven. I love samurai dramas for many reasons, one of them is you don't always know who is going to survive the piece. At the same time, there are very few "cheap" deaths. For a warrior, the noble sacrifice is one of the best ways to die.
- 2017-05-01 Author Intrusion status for May 1, 2017 - After a rough start of the previous week, I got a chance to really focus on Author Intrusion (AI). Despite the rather significant amount of check-ins and coding, I wasn't quite able to get to a really good "show off" point. Instead, this week ended up being a black triangle (significant progress but nothing visible).
