Listener Heather Muir sent me her Scrivener review, and I thought I’d link it here.
Now that I’ve been using Scrivener for a year, I feel ready to review it. I bought it when I won NaNoWriMo last year and got the 50% discount. Best. Purchase. Ever. The great thing about Scrivener is [...]
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.
Yes, I installed caching plugins.
So before I switched, I contacted the people at Fatcow and said, “Here’s [...]
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.
Yes, this is real letter writing, not emails.
I have horrible handwriting, but have loved [...]
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:
John W. Campbell Award (not a Hugo) – This is my first year of eligibility because of the pro sale of “1963: [...]
Hi all. Yeah, I’m way behind on, well, updating everything. But one more day before updates on the new year, Stonecoast, and all that. This site is going dark to protest SOPA/PIPA.
I’ve been trying to come up with a good blog post, but frankly I’m exhausted and bleary, and this post and the [...]
I was going to write a long “state of the Mur” address, talking about 2011 and where I want to go in 2012. But I didn’t for two reasons.
I can’t talk about it yet. (DUN DUN DUN) I decided to stay away from all but the most important online things over the holidays, so [...]
Happy New Year! I’m back from Christmas in the disappointingly un-snowy Buffalo, NY. Getting my wordcount, uh, counted for 2011, looking at goals and stuff in 2012, planning a big blog post and end of the year show, and then…
I saw this on Twitter. Writer’s Digest 101 Best Web Sites for Writers is [...]
IN my attempt to follow the links I’ve starred and then ignored (see yesterday’s post), I tried to start back in ’09 (I told you it was a problem.) That’s when I discovered that the shortening link services are apparently a short term solution, and they don’t last. 90% of the links I tried [...]
Yeah, yeah, I’ve marketed before. But I realized something recently: I have a bad Twitter habit. Not in using Twitter itself, but in favoriting tweets to go back and read their links later. I usually do this on my phone so I don’t have to worry about loading a website, or when I have enough [...]
I ask people to review my stuff on Amazon, but I never think about how people may view those (or GoodReads, or whatever) reviews and stars. When you’re an indie author, you can live or die on these reviews, but, as Anne R. Allen says, not everyone understands how this works. There could be [...]
