Scrivener review!

By Mur Lafferty On February 3, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Non-ISBW

Fun website stuff

By Mur Lafferty On February 1, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Meta, Non-ISBW

So I had to leave Dreamhost because they were charging me an arm and a leg for a virtual server, a tool they said I needed because of too many database queries – which never worked anyway.

A different writing challenge

By Mur Lafferty On January 31, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Non-ISBW

Thanks to the movements of Mary Robinette Kowal, February is deemed the Month of Letters. She challenges people to hand write letters every day this month, and has created a site (see above) where people can exchange addresses.

By Mur Lafferty On January 24, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In News, Non-ISBW

It’s awards season- if you were wondering what I’m eligible for (cause I know that’s what you think about during the dark of night when your smartphone is charging), here’s the list:

Writer’s Dice!

By Mur Lafferty On January 23, 2012 · 28 Comments · In Extras

I’ve been on the paralyzing train of “so much to talk about, there’s stuff that’s NDA I can’t talk about, I don’t know what to talk about!” So I’m choosing something easy.

Writer’s Dice!

Daniel Solis ran a Kickstarter for Writer’s Dice a couple of months ago, and I bought a bunch for give-aways. I [...]
