Musings on my next novel project.

29th
Jul. × ’09

Earlier I wrote and posted about my “a short novel every three months” plan which sort of hit a snag in May. Not to worry, I’ll just move on. It’s not like I write for a living (a point I’ll touch on in a future post). So, here’s where I’m up to regarding my August [...]

“Novel-Fading” – a learning experience.

29th
Jul. × ’09

In November I wrote a short novel, “Minding Tomorrow”. Then I took two months off the actual writing to edit it and think about the next novel. In February I wrote a novella, “Monster Story (working title)”. Then I took two months off to keep editing novel number one, and do a bit of editing [...]

New Cover Art for “Minding Tomorrow”

25th
Jul. × ’09

I released my first completed novel, “Minding Tomorrow”, for free a few months ago, and so far the reception has been really good. I’ve had loads of great emails from people telling me they’ve enjoyed it, a podcast review by Chris from the M-Brane SF blog, and even a few donations via the PayPal tip [...]

Arctic Trip, July 2009

20th
Jul. × ’09

I’m nearing the end of my summer holiday. I’ll be doing a series of blog posts about what I’ve been up to, with photos and maps and everything, but not until I have time to do the writing. Say, when I next have a week on a cruise ship with not a lot else to [...]

EJC 2009 day 8

12th
Jul. × ’09

Today was a slow, very hot day. I got up late, and went looking for Pola. I found her in our hammock, asleep in the shade between two trees. I guess I didn’t wake when she came in to get it sometime in the morning. I spent a while writing emails and uploading photos, but [...]

EJC 2009 day 7: Gala Show

11th
Jul. × ’09

The EJC Gala Show is a variable affair. This year’s wasn’t one of the best. Some of the acts were amazing, of course, but this kind are typically the ones I’ve seen before. Here’s the rundown: We show our tickets and spend some time under balloons. This is always a lot of fun. The balloon [...]

EJC 2009 day 7

11th
Jul. × ’09

Ok, so on Thursday night I hosted the last open stage show. I think I mentioned it was a looooong show, due to everyone wanting to perform at the last minute. There were also many, many other issues with the organisation of the show, problems that have been solved many times in the past, and [...]

EJC 2009 day 6

10th
Jul. × ’09

I don’t have much to write about today. I got up late, then spent pretty much the entire afternoon, evening and night getting ready for hosting the open stage show. And then hosting it. It went quite well, I think, even the show was really long (16 acts in total). There were major issues in [...]

EJC 2009 day 5.

9th
Jul. × ’09

Yesterday blended into today. I’m not sure where to draw the line. Certainly not midnight.  At 4 AM Pola, Emil and I met at the van, packed our stuff, and I drove us over to Pamplona. We arrived at about 6, and found our way to a spot I judged might be good. We stood [...]

EJC 2009 day 4.

8th
Jul. × ’09

Pola came to bed at nine thirty this morning. I think that beats my latest EJC bedtime record (except for the nights I just stayed up until the next night). I’d got to bed and sleep at about five thirty though, so it resulted in a quite short nights sleep. I got up at about [...]
