Teisel’s Underground Adventure
Today the landlord came to check the water levels in the basement–so far, so good, no flooding like last year–and Teisel decided this was the time. He was going down in the basement. “The basement” is this creepy, half finished hole in the ground. You have to lift a giant slab of floor to go […]
More ARCs
Pictures of the box of ARCs that arrived today, both in their box and out of their box: From Drop Box From Drop Box I have ten ARCs in this box for marketing and promotional purposes–which is a pretty decent amount, considering that a lot of authors only get one or two, and considering how […]
The eyes are here!
From Drop Box Creepy, yes? From Drop Box There are eyes and noses. As is to be expected. How can you have eyes without noses? These are for a project I’m working on for a Tenners giveaway. Is it a secret? (Is it safe?) I don’t know! So I’m keeping my mouth shut for now. […]
Pants!
I just successfully bought pants. I know, this is big news. Buying pants is one of my least favorite things to do, because lots of the pants all look the same to me, yet most of them don’t fit right. Either the legs fit, but the waist doesn’t, or vice versa. Or they fit but […]
Things I did today
Took Eustace the car in today to have maintenance done. I thought I was going to have to sit there for HOURS, but then my friend Olive called and we went and hung out instead. The car is doing well–aren’t you glad humans don’t have preventative surgeries all the time like I am?–and it all […]
BEA – I want to go to there
And I am! W00T! I just put down ACTUAL MONEY on airline tickets and made hotel reservations. I’ll be in NYC May 24th – 28th. (It’s going to be just like in Down with Love, right? #sarcasm) For those not in the know, BEA (Book Expo America) is a giant book convention thing where publishers […]
Has it been a week already?
Gah, apparently it’s been a week since I posted. The days just slip by! So what have I been doing the past week? What breaking news is there to report from Chelsea Land? Er, not a whole lot. Mostly I’ve been writing. And freaking out and deleting scenes and then deciding I like them and […]
ARC!!!!
Check this sucker out: From Drop Box That’s my book! It smells like trees–well, newly dead trees, which is a fresh smell for a book–and it has 352 pages. The beginning of each chapter has a black and white silhouette of the city skyline from the cover, and the scene breaks are done with Xs, […]
Revisions – in which I break down the process and reveal the mysteries
Okay, so, I have to confess that I used to be TERRIFIED of revisions. Just the thought of some editor with a revision quota they had to fill on my book pissed me right the hell off. You hear horror stories, or you make them up in your head, or you just *know* someone’s going […]
