It’s Saturday! THE DAY IN GENERAL As I said above. It’s Saturday. So not much to put here. I did a lot today. I’ll explain in a couple of days why. I finished the 1,700 last chapter of the Writing Sales Copy book. And got it turned in. I did a bunch of other stuff. But that’s good enough for now. 1,700 words of nonfiction. No fiction. – TOPIC OF THE NIGHT: The Nine Chapters The nine chapters of How to Write Fiction Sales Copy will remain here for free on the blog until the book comes out. Then I will take them down. Not at all sure when the book will…

Some Great Posts On the site Women in Science Fiction, Kris is hosting and doing some great stuff, as well as having guest blogs there. Vonda N. McIntyre has the most recent guest blog there. The one before that was Judith Tarr. Worth reading and following that site, folks. And, of course, before it is gone, get the story bundle pictured above. Stunning amount of great reading for $15.00. http://storybundle.com/scifi The web site with the blogs and Kris’s writing on the topic is at: http://www.womeninsciencefiction.com/ THE DAY IN GENERAL Mostly all day I worked on workshop stuff. Then home for a short nap, dinner and news. I got in here…

A Day of Meetings and Naps First Even the meetings were fun and I don’t remember the naps. – THE DAY IN GENERAL Managed to roll out of the house around 1:30 p.m. and hit the snail mail on the way to the first meeting. Up to WMG Publishing offices then to talk with two other professional fiction writers, plus Kris came through to work in her office there and Allyson was in and around. Sometimes that office is very quiet, sometimes it is a crazy place. And fun. Today was a fun day. Great conversations. I worked on formatting Smith’s Monthly from 5 p.m. until a couple other writer friends…

Writing Two Books at Once Yeah, kind of weird when you think about it. But working on a novel and working on the How to Write Fiction Sales Copy. I have 19 of the 32 blurbs written in six chapters so far. The novel, well that’s going a little slower. – THE DAY IN GENERAL Managed to roll out of the house around 3 p.m. and did some standard running around I tend to do most days. First snail mail, then to WMG Publishing, then bank, then out to the WMG Publishing store and then back to WMG offices. I got back there around 5 p.m. and worked on formatting…

Nifty New Covers for My Seeders Universe Novels WMG Publishing, with Allyson doing the fantastic covers, rebranded my space opera Seeders Universe series. I will talk about them below. – THE DAY IN GENERAL Two more raccoons were hauled off the hilltop this morning. And they only put back one cage and it has yet another raccoon in it tonight. This must have been a major offramp on a raccoon freeway. After waving bye to the raccoons, I headed to the office to work there on some projects. Then Kris and I headed to have lunch, then back to the office to work some more. But I also bought two large…
