The final week of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) was difficult. I’d get back to my outline, only to go meh and deviate again. Plus once I won NaNoWriMo on the 24th — reached 50,000 words — I really, really, really wanted to finish my novel Time and Space so I could rest, see how…

NaNoWriMo Week Three: Passing 40K!
Good grief! Week three of NaNoWriMo is over already! It’s been a week of straying more and more from my outline while still heading to the same ending for Time and Space I’d envisioned many moons ago. It’s been a week of fighting fatigue and of energizing excitement over letting my imagination loose. And the…
NaNoWriMo Week Two
I can’t believe I’m still going strong this National Novel Writing Month. Some days are harder than others, tis true, but haven’t yet hit the mid-month slump as you can see on my brand-new NaNoWriMo Word Count Widget on the right sidebar. The Office of Letters and Light was a tad slow in getting the…
A NaNo Sale to Remember
As you know, I’m a novelling Wrimo, one of over two-hundred-thousand people around planet Earth writing 50,000-word novels in the month of November as part of National Novel Writing Month. It’s my third time. In honour of my third NaNoWriMo, I’m putting the ebook and Kindle versions of my highly rated and very first NaNoWriMo…
Week One of NaNoWriMo
It’s November, so it must be National Novel Writing Month time. This year I’m writing a Sci Fi Time Travel novel set in the future and in Toronto, of course. NaNoWriMo, as it’s affectionately known, has done a major overhaul of its site, and so some elements have not been created yet, including the word…
My Ebooks Are Going Out Into The World
I’m pleased to announce that my newest title She is now available at the awesome price of $2.99 in the Amazon Kindle store, along with my first book Lifeliner. Purchasing a Kindle ebook on Amazon is fast and easy with the 1-Click Buy button. You can also give She or Lifeliner or both as a…
The Soft Launch of SHE
She is out. She is published. Yay! It’s rather unbelievable that my fantasy novel finally is. Right now, I am doing a soft launch of the eBook. I had read about this method of launching a book awhile ago and thought it a good idea. Basically, I upload the final DOC file to Smashwords, which…
The Front Cover of “She” — The First Draft
Well, it’s done, the first suitable-for-public-consumption draft of the front cover of my forthcoming novel She. What do you think? I had a different idea for the top part originally. But then I went to shoot the CN Tower from the city side on Easter Sunday. And as I looked through the camera’s viewfinder, I…
She is Almost Done
It’s been awhile since I blogged about my writing progress. You’re probably wondering how it’s going…or not! I’m going to tell ya anyway. To recap, I’ve written two novels during two consecutive National Novel Writing Months in November 2009 and 2010. A year ago, I had written, received feedback on, and revised my first novel…
