September 30, 2004 Stephanie Leary

*zzzzzzz*

September 30, 2004 Stephanie Leary

So late last night, not super-late but late enough that I wanted to go to bed, I finished a lot of NotWriting stuff, took a shower, and connected head with pillow. What comes to my tired little mind but the key piece of the key scene in the story I never had time to work on all … [Read more...] about *zzzzzzz*

Still kicking

September 22, 2004 Stephanie Leary

Needless to say, I didn't throw myself off a building. In fact, the stuff I wrote is pretty bad, but hey, it's a basis for rewriting.

Slight progress

September 18, 2004 Stephanie Leary

Wrote about five more pages on the novella. It's flowing a little easier now. Of course there's that novel I'm supposed to be working on, but I'm thinking this might turn into a subplot in that. Yay. Got a few more coats of red paint up in the study. It's still uneven, but it's … [Read more...] about Slight progress

Library Lookup

September 17, 2004 Stephanie Leary

I just ran across the Library Lookup project, which lets you build a bookmarklet to search your local library for books that catch your eye on Amazon. Brilliant. Just keep in mind that the base URL might not be the same as the library's home page URL, so go to the library site, … [Read more...] about Library Lookup

Book contracts analysis

September 16, 2004 Stephanie Leary

Michelle Sagara West should be on your daily reading list if you're a writer, but this week she's going WAY beyond the call of duty and typing in a first novel contract with explanations and commentary. She has to split the thing up to keep the entries manageable, so use the … [Read more...] about Book contracts analysis
