Hard Heart
There needs to be an ambush scene. And then, the infamous Meeting. And then: HORROR. Writing books is full of teh awesome, really. It’s writing all the in-between stuff that’s so fucking tedious.
The Devil, it is full of Wireless
The Starbucks where I do my writing is now in-range of a free public Wifi hub. Dammit, people, if I thought writing with distractions would get anything done, I’d be writing at home. Fucking A.

Writing Weird Shit
One of the things that always interested me when I was reading Really Weird Shit (like, say, a Mieville or a VanderMeer or even a Catherynne Valente), is this: Do they come up with all the weird shit in there the first time through, carefully working it all out, or is there just this made

Note
I do not ever want my author bio to read: “Kameron now lives in (insert small midwestern town name here) with her three cats.” Call me crazy, but I want more than that. At the same time, I also don’t want it to read: “Kameron now lives in (insert small midwestern town name here) with
Oh, the Glamorous Writing Life
Up this morning at 5:30 am, morning weights routine, green tea and a cup of frozen raspberries. Out the door at 7:10, catch the bus at 7:27, at work at 7:45. Script writing in the lobby from 8-10, com meeting from 10-10:30 to communicate assignments and deadlines. Shift from scripts to design changes for company

Because the Spice Must Flow
“She found him in the magicians’ gym, where she should have expected him all along.” Which then explains why I was stuck for two months while she stood there waiting at his door. She was looking in the wrong place. And just like that, the words come purling down the pipe once again. Funny how

Still Waiting at the Door
I’m about 2 months behind on my self-imposed deadline for Black Desert. I was supposed to have a draft by next month, but it looks like it’ll be May instead, with heavy revisions and something of a caliber that could be submitted to my editor by September or so (yes, I’m a heavy rewriter. Not

Yes, It’s More-or-Less Official
Song of the night, just gifted to myself from iTunes. Because everyone needs ridiculous songs to flail around wildly to during nights like this one. In fact, listen to it while you read the rest of this post. Cause I am. I have been informed that the following news has already been announced to the

God’s War Back Cover Blurb
If you’re working on writing up queries or synposes, I’ve found it sorta fun and helpful to write up one of those “back cover” blurbs that you see on the back of books as practice. Writers tend to be huge readers, which means we’ve all read about a million of these. Not only is it

1099
Got an official 1099 from Hartwell for my Year’s Best SF sale. That was quite nice, actually. Most short sales don’t send you 1099s. I honestly couldn’t remember if I’d made $75 or $100 for it. Yes, all you dewy-eyed young writers out there: making a Year’s Best Sale will net you an incredible $100!!
