Merry Christmas :)

Happy insert-festival-of-choice-here! Hope y’all are looking forward to 2012. I promise I’ll write more. Really.

Sebastian Marshall, and Why Traditional Publishing is in Trouble

A quick recap, for those of you who haven’t seen it yet – Sebastian Marshall is a businessman. He does a lot of business-related things, one of which is writing about business. He wrote a book about his philosophy of doing business, and got a deal with Simon & Schuster for it. Then a number [...]

What I’m up to

I didn’t finish Nanowrimo, in case you’re wondering. I’ll still upload chapters of Winterlight, but it’ll be at a much lower rate. My web design business is taking off, and I’m up to my eyeballs in work. So that’s great, and I love being busy, but it cuts into my writing time. I’ve got so [...]

Winterlight Chapter 9

“That is a car,” Kari said proudly, pointing at something that looked for all the world like a large, green, metal cage with windows. They had walked for about two hours, at which point they reached a large dirt track and followed it for several miles. The car was sitting by the side of the [...]

Winterlight Chapter 8

I am very far behind, a fact that I can only attribute to work interference. Whether I finish this or not is up for debate, but I’ll certainly try – I’m aiming for another chapter tonight at least. They spent the night quite comfortably in the tents, despite the squashed conditions. Sylar bunked in with [...]

Winterlight Chapter 7

Sylar sat down beside her and stared at her in terror, shaking her shoulder and talking emphatically in what could only be elfkin. Sarah just stared back, one hand over her mouth, and her eyes wide as she listened to him. The connection – it couldn’t even be called an attunement – had done something [...]

Winterlight Chapter 6

The world came back slowly, and the first thing Sarah became aware of was the thumping pain in her temple. It faded to a dull ache behind her eyes, as if she had taken a severe blow to the head and it hadn’t quite healed. The hall, and the attack, and Sylar teleporting them away… [...]

Winterlight Chapter 5

There were so many of them – tall, handsome warriors hovering protectively over the Families and their children, servants in the yellow and green livery, and enough horses and wagons to completely fill the broad courtyard. Sarah perched on her windowsill and watched them, utterly engrossed in their comings and goings. There were lots of [...]

Winterlight Chapter 4

So I’ve had my ass kicked by work, as usual. I feel bad. Not enough writing for me. I shall endeavour to fix this, and here’s the next part in the meantime. Sarah stared at the book, then back at her brother. It was a plain, brown book, leather bound, with some generic stitching along [...]

Sick as a dog

What the does that phrase even mean… I feel sick. I think I’ve managed to contract conjunctivitis or something because one of my eyes hurts quite a lot, and staring at a computer screen for hours is not good for that. So, I’m going to lie down and feel sorry for myself and have my [...]
