Weekly writing check-in: the one with a series bible

Oh, yes. A series bible for the Coffee & Ghosts series? (And yes, do you admire my unbelievably creative name for the series?) Absolutely a good idea. I found a few places where I will need to adjust either this story or that, figure out where–exactly–one of the characters lives, and so on.

It was also one of those weeks where I had a bunch of random story ideas pop up in my head, so I jotted a few of them down, and now I’m wondering how to steal a bit more time to write all the things.

Speaking of stealing time: Just a Matter of Time will have a free run on Amazon starting tomorrow. Five days! Grab it for free while you can and all that.

  • Coffee & Ghosts series bible

Weekly writing check-in: the one with all the rain

slow roadThis week was filled with rain and launch activities for the release of The Fine Art of Keeping Quiet. I’m really pleased with the free read activity (see links below). I love being able to offer a try-before-you buy sample. (I also love downloading and reading those myself, which is the main reason I’m doing this.)

It’s getting downloads at Barnes and Noble and Apple, but it’s no surprise that the most action is at Amazon:

Otherwise, I did more work on Pansy, some world building and what I call, for lack of a better term, structural work. I’d like to say I’ve done more writing work this week, but I can’t.

No submissions, but then, no rejections either. I still have some pending work out there, too. I suspect there will be a deluge of rejections much like the rain we’ve had this week.

Weekly writing check-in: the one with the free read

I’m still gearing up for the release of The Fine Art of Keeping Quiet. One of the things I experimented with was making The Trouble with Prom (two original YA short stories and the first four chapters of The Fine Art of Keeping Quiet) a free read. This wasn’t too difficult, but it did involve some online gymnastics on my part. (If you’re interested, leave a comment, and I’ll let you know how I did it.)

I did some world-building work on Pansy this week. I didn’t manage any submissions, although I do have some stories I need to proof and send out to the next market. Soon. I will get back to that soon, since I enjoy it.
