Little Updatey Things
20 Mar
Updatey is not a word, I know. But it’s descriptive, you have to admit.
This weekend I’m fixing up an oldish manuscript for submission, Wolfton Paranormal. (Which I know is an incredibly vague title, but it’s meant to be more of an overarching one, as of course, what’s an urban fantasy without a sequel or three in the works?) I love going back to something after a year away from it, it feels like visiting an old friend I missed like crazy, and I’m always convinced that this one– whatever it is– is my favorite, and I can make something of it if I just keep at it.
Well no, my first will always be the favored child, I have to confess. I wouldn’t be writing now without it. But I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way.
Anyhow, since I was at it, I figured I’d update the little project page for it over there on the sidebar, and then figured what the hell, might as well do ‘em all. So I did some tweaking and finally, finally gave Scripped its own page. About goddamn time, seeing as I’ve had the thing edited, polished, and out with a lovely publisher for a few months now. Poor neglected novel! Don’t think I don’t love you, Jonah. You know I do.
Then I updated the Short Fiction page to show the latest developments, including the upcoming Necrotic Tissue bite, and the Scenes From the Second Storey project with Morrigan Books– on that latter, the Aussie version is the one that’s up on the Morrigan site. I’m in the international one to be edited by Mark Deniz and Greg Ballam and it’s still TBA time-wise. I’d try and convince you to wait on that one, but the Aussie one looks delicious. I’m thinking buying both is the only logical course of action.
Right, but I had a point here that doesn’t involve shocking narcissism. That is that if your name isn’t over on that sidebar, and you have a blog/site that with which you’d like me to trade links/have been trading links and I’m too freaking slow to notice, please let me know. It’s a beautiful list, and I use it in concert with my trusty Thunderbird rss reader to keep up with y’all, so don’t be shy.

I think it ate my comment again…
Anyway, yay Scripped! That scene still freaks me out. I love it
You’ve got an impressive list of publications now, too. So many pretty books. I really need to get my hands on more of those.
This reminds me that I have several oldish stories that need tweaking. They will have to wait for when I’m not full of mucus : P
Thanks very much, Cory– the list is starting to look pretty with all the little pictures there to illustrate it. And it was your idea to do it that way! Also thanks for the feedback on Jonah. I thought about using a different one this time, but eh. Figure something from The Beginning is always a good idea.
I’ll have a talk with it about eating your comments
Nat, yeah, mucus is not our editing friend. Sad but true. Still, I’m sure the oldish stories will be glad to see you.
You’re list of short fiction is really impressive. I’m looking forward to ‘Scenes From The Second Storey’.
I really dig little pics of cover art. NT #10 is going to be especially sweeeet.
Cate, it is a tiny list, but I am very happy with all of it. Thank you!
Aaron, I must agree. It’s also my favorite cover so far! But you know me and shiny things…
I’m thinking I need to buy a copy of the Aussie version of SftSS. I’ve yet to be disappointed with a Morrigan antho and the author line-up of the Aussie book is awesome.
BTW, I got my contributor copy of Harvest Hill this week, so I’ll be reading “Poor Andrew Boyd” very soon.
I’m impressed by your organisation.
I am going to petition Websters to make updatey a word. I am also going to put gphufendersted into everyday use.
Have a good week.
Mike, yeah, I think I gotta buy the Oz one too. You’re right about them never disappointing. And I’m really into the idea of comparing just how different the stories can get when two authors are handed the same song for some reason. Lies well within my interests!
I just got mine too– meant to email you! In fact, I may yet, once I get into it. I started it with the digital one, but everyone was like “I’m waiting for print”… and not having an ereader, I thought, hey. Good idea.
Danielle, it looks organized, but in truth it’s a damn mess
Jamie, I’m all for it– that is one petition I will totally sign. Ha!
