Topic started by request. I’m about a third of the way through the first draft of Tiassa. Or, as I affectionately call it, Hadassah.

Especially to Midori Snyder and Terri Windling for special award, non-professional (although: huh?) and to Ellen Datlow for the anthology Inferno.
And, out of courtesy to their sensibilities I will not now be gnashing my teeth and screaming about rigged elections because neither Will Shetterly nor Emma Bull won. They would certainly not appreciate such a [...]

Murder Mystery Published

It’s my second short story sale but due to how these things work out, it’s actually the first story to [...]

Again with the rewrite
August 10th, 2008 · 17 Comments
Yet again, I have to start a full rewrite before finishing the first draft. This is unusual for me–I like to get to the end before doing major revisions. But all of a sudden PLOT showed up in the book, so what can I do?

Book Update

I really like to plow straight through the first draft, however often the plot suddenly turns on itself and surprises me, figuring to fix it in the rewrite. Sometimes, however, there are just too many unexpected changes, and I have to stop and get things in line before I got on.
Iorich just did that, around [...]
