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 [...]
The Vineart War trilogy told the story of Jerzy, who defended the Lands Vin from a threat from without. But generations before, there had been a threat from below. It was a passing reference, part of the history of the Lands Vin… but once mentioned, it grew in my head, until I couldn’t [...]
My buddy, game writer and Angry Robot author, Matt Forbeck, has an amazing goal for 2011- a novel a month. He wants to write 50,000 words a month on 12 different projects next year. While I’m in awe of his ambition and drive, I really want to support him toward his goal — and I [...]
I’ve been wanting to promote this for a while, but with the crap stuff happening with the site, I found it difficult. But there are a couple of hours left. Daniel is local to me, and he already dropped by my 10 dice that I will be using as giveaways to YOU – but if [...]
For some unknown reason, posts haven’t been showing up on the front page, even though they are showing up in the archives. I did research online and someone said, “try a theme change” – that seemed to bring up the missing posts, so I’m leaving this nice clean theme in place for a while to [...]
I’ve never been to SXSW before, but this year I was invited to be on a self-publishing panel. I’m hoping I can add some advice about podcasting and Kickstarter as well as the ebook tsunami taking over publishing. Apparently the panels at SXSW are voted on, so if you’re interested in this panel,
