Inspiration
I get inspiration from funny places sometimes. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that a lot of the time music is one of those places. My folks started me on the violin when I was three. When I was thirteen …

Feedback
Well, my rant the other day caught some interest. Yesterday I got the most hits ever on this blog. Hopefully I haven’t made any eternal enemies. 😛 So the first of the folks who are reading Masters sent me some …
Gaining a Following?
I took a couple interesting screen captures the other day, from the wordpress stats page: Interesting. I started this blog on 28 January, so counting the January stats is pretty meaningless. But aside from that, readership here has pretty much …

Pivotal Moments
I’m working on Masters again tonight, and I just finished a pivotal moment. Well, two actually. First, I finished the chapter where the hero fully discovers the nature of the big bad villains. And, you guessed it, they’re bad. Quite …
I hate when this happens…
Ugh. The writing is hard this week. The latest update to Scrivener has a cool feature. You could always set targets for each writing session, by word count. In the new version, you can assign a due date for the …
