noticias buenas!
Today, I have so much to report that I don’t even know where to start. Been a really productive morning. I bought an Ibook on Mercado Libre (Mexican ebay), worked out terms for a Guide ad with one of the Smart Bitches and fixed the stupid animation speed, and put together the beginnings of an [...]
workshop wednesday – markets
I’ve heard aspiring writers say they’d rather throw a manuscript away than sell it to an epublisher. That startles me. I just want people reading my stuff, I don’t necessarily care what format it comes in. However, the argument can be made that some epublishers are choosier than others about what they accept, some have [...]
random tuesday
random link — I hope you’re braced for dangerous levels of cuteness. I bring you this thing because authors are all supposed to have a cat that they ramble about. If you don’t (maybe someone in your house has allergies) click until you find the perfect kitten, and then you can blog about your fantasy [...]
Comment Moderation
When I visit a blog and comment, it’s because I want to interact with the owner(s) and other commenters. Sometimes people turn on comment moderation and then it’s like commenting blind. You don’t know what else people have said on this topic, maybe you’re going to post the exact same thing as the guy ahead [...]
something hot to kick off the weekend
So I got a sneak peek at Dionne Galace’s cover for her story coming out with Samhain in August because I’m cool like that. Check this out. I feel wrong for admiring this boy, though. He looks young but he’s trying to be tough, right? He’s got his hair buzzed to make him look serious [...]
the changing nature of language
As usual, I’ll have a review over at It’s Not Chick Porn. Check this out. These panels make me think about the changing nature of language. I wonder how JR Ward’s books will stand up in twenty years? Will her slang hopelessly date her? School kids today find Shakespeare all but unintelligible. English has changed [...]
’scuse me while I squee
Once in a while, I run across an author who makes everything I slog through as a reviewer worthwhile. Such authors are squee-worthy, and as soon as I develop a powerful new author crush, I immediately run off to my blog because I want to tell the world about it. I’ll write a formal review [...]
hey ho, what the dealio?
I am on vacation. I’ve been working like a dog on this writing gig since last July. I jumped immediately from Your Alibi to Good Touch. That means I’m getting to know my family again because my kids are starting to ask, “Who’s that lady who sleeps with Dad?”, spending more time with my husband, [...]
no bitchin’ today
Things are going too well for me to have any bitching to do. Rather than work up a fake rant about stuff that doesn’t really bother me (and you guys could tell the difference, couldn’t you?), I’m going to do something different. Today SBD stands from Smart Blessing Day; I’m going to recount the ways [...]
race relations
As it’s ebook Thursday, I’ll have a review over at It’s Not Chick Porn. Warning: serious post ahead As many of you know, I have a book coming out with Loose Id on April 17. This story happens to be interracial, and as such, I’m opening a discourse on a touchy subject. Please leave your [...]
