NaNoWriMo is over! Did you win? I sure as heck didn’t. I grant you 3 days off. By Thursday I want you writing again. I explain why I’m a NaNo failure (again) and what I think of the Harlequin Horizons thing. Check my most recent blogpost for links.

Frequent guest, sponsor and good friend JC Hutchins has his print debut hit the bookshelves today. Personal Effects: Dark Art is a novel, a transmedia experience, and alternate reality game. We’ve mentioned it before, but now you can see what podcasting novelists thinks about it.

Seriously, I’m not used to these long writing sessions. Yesterday I hit 6K words – 5K on the “OH MY GOD DO THIS NOW” project, and 1K on my Suicide Girls column. Once the kid was in bed, I had more time to write, but my brain said, “No. Uh uh. You’re done.”

The kit:
Pens
Self-adhesive #10 envelopes for small queries and SASEs

New York Times Bestselling Author Scott Sigler’s The Rookie has been called his best book by many junkies. Available previously in podcast-only form, now he’s selling limited edition hardcover copies on his site!
Set in a lethal pro football league 700 years in the future, The Rookie is a story that combines the intense gridiron [...]
In this podcast I experiment with a new messy room in my house- the office. I discover the lighting is terrible, but I KEEP GOING.
Also, David Wellington was ISBW #111, not 112. My bad. I need a fact checker…
Visit JC Hutchins’s site for more innovative marketing. And remember, learn from people who [...]
I report live from StellarCon, 09, in this. It’s the last day of the con. I’m tired and having just returned from the Worst Panel in the World. My new friend, the Black Plague, is with me. John Cmar on camera, Ursula Vernon in charge of the art, and Kevin Sonney in charge of [...]
