And just not enough time to blog about them all.
There will be more posts, and more regular posts, coming from me, starting in the next couple of weeks.
In the meanwhile – if you’re in the Seattle area and want to come see me read from my new book When The Moon Over Kualina Mountain Comes come to the SFWA Northwest Reading Series.…
I feel very accomplished this evening.
I’ve finally figured out how to upload files directly to iTunes/iBooks.
No, I haven’t verified that everything uploaded correctly and that the books I’ve sent there are all pretty and shit.
Just let me bask in the error-free moment a while, all right?…
This is probably a Part I of X posts, but until the next parts come, I’m not going to bother labeling them as such.
I spent the first three weeks of this year in New Zealand. Now, I’m on sabbatical from the day job: I won’t go back until March 17th.…
One of the joys of novel writing–no, really, it’s a joy!–is remembering that, at least for me, every novel is different.

I’m currently writing a new novel. I’m in that messy middle, where things aren’t coming together and I don’t know where I’m going.…
In America, it’s Thanksgiving weekend. Both me and my sweetie have taken off a bit extra as well, so we have not been working since Wednesday, and we’re also both taking Monday off.
For the past few years, my Thanksgiving tradition has included a writing marathon. I have several days off, and all I do is write for those days.
This year is no different. My sweetie and I are both marathoning. He’s been writing on several different projects, whereas I’ve been sticking with the single novel that I started last week.

Sooo…for those following along at home, I’ve started writing a new novel. (When the Moon Over Kualani Comes)
I really, really kind of wanted this to be a single novel. I’ve got too many other novels planned, sequels and such for already published works, for me to be taking on yet another trilogy or something.…
I blog about inspiration both here and over at Book View Cafe. Feel free to comment either over here or there!
This week I was in San Francisco, for the day job. I had to stay at a hotel pretty far from downtown, but luckily, the company provided free buses into the city.
On Wednesday, the traffic was pretty awful when I was going in. The little signs that tell you how long it will take to get to downtown? All the other days it had been less than 10 minutes. On Wednesday, it was more like 45.
This was after we’d already been on the bus for over 30 minutes.
So I had a lot of time on my hands.
Recently, I’ve been doing some long-range planning, what I want to write. I have a whole bunch of novels that I already have sketched out.
On this extra long bus ride, I started listing out all the short stories.
Then, I started poking at one.
