NaNoFeed: Midnight, and a new excerpt! (Romance with Rayguns, NaNo 2014 WIP)
Another fabulous afternoon at the Minneapolis Central Library write-in, and I scored over 3000 words. That’s still slow (some of my companions cracked 10,000) but I’m really happy with the scenes I wrote. I’ve stepped over the threshold into my … Continue reading

Weekend Writing Warriors, Sunday 9 November 2014 (NaNoFeed)
Xue turned her head in the direction of Hernan’s glance, and swore, “Fuckin’ hull-breach with feet. Tikhon.” “Language,” Timur said, in his capacity as elder sibling. Hernan, on the other hand, laughed aloud. “That’s a pretty succinct translation,” he said. … Continue reading

NaNoFeed: Live from the Northern Tour! (Lunch is a many-splendored thing)
So now we’re at Geek Partnership Society here in Northeast Minneapolis, where we have all unpacked our lunch and are nibbling and/or crunching and/or typing/scribbling away. There are cozy sofas and cold northern light out of a Vermeer still-life blessing … Continue reading
NaNoFeed: Live from the Northern Tour! Now with Excerpts!
I’m happily pitter-patting along on the Northern Tour, finally getting acceptable word-counts as I sink into the world of my characters and their various dilemmas (oh yes, and caffeine helps). This year, all new works started in November go into … Continue reading

Weekend Writing Warriors, Sunday 2 November 2014 (WIP: Ship’s Heart)
Martisset stared at the black screen. The game could be restarted from the beginning, all her folly erased. No. It was dishonest to pretend that hadn’t happened. The story had been cut off mid-play, but in real life, behind the … Continue reading

Weekend Writing Warriors, Sunday 26 October 2014 (WIP: Ship’s Heart)
The winter evening had grown blue, and the threatened snow-squall now wrapped the island in its embrace. Veils of snow caught the faint illumination from the banquet-room as the Saiph patronage, from Martisset the Elder and Tethys down to Naime-Yasmin’s … Continue reading

Weekend Writing Warriors, Sunday 26 October 2014 (WIP: Ship’s Heart)
Martisset knew the story, as did every child on Karis. One journey-ship among many had found the Original Jump; no one knew what had happened to the others. One of all the ships that set out from the Original World, after … Continue reading
