I was going to write my horror/western, but it needs to percolate more I think, and I’m debating writing it for e-pub instead of trying to figure out how the hell I’d pitch something like that to trad publishers. I’m planning on writing the second Pyrrh novel this month, as well as starting a romance novel that will go out to traditional publishers in Feb. So I’m setting my daily goal at 10 pages each week day and 5 pages each weekend day. While I’d like to be writing 5-6 hours a day, I know that on many days I’ll have other commitments (I have a huge family, and the holidays are always made of crazy sauce). I’m going to be finishing up the novel in the next week or two, then it’ll go to first readers, then to the copy editor, and finally (hopefully!) on or around Jan 31st, 2011, it’ll be available to purchase.įor December I’m going to take it somewhat easy. That means a handful of new stories out to markets and some of what will be the first novel in my Pyrrh Considerable Crimes series. All these things will hopefully contribute to less pain and a more consistent writing schedule.Īll that aside, I managed about 52,000 words this month. I’ve also adjusted my desk and my chair and gotten a wrist brace to try for the more sore wrist. I have my new keyboard now and am so far liking it (it’s only been a day, so no idea how it will serve in the long term). Or perhaps rediscovered, since I had to do it this summer when I pinched a nerve in my shoulder. So in November my writing went not too poorly, but I’ve discovered that writing while in pain really, really sucks. This story was one of my favorites and I’m very happy that Daily SF took a chance on it. I write a lot of stories and I’m not sure I could even list the titles of all of them off the top of my head (probably, with some serious thinking, because I do have a good memory, but I might miss one or two). ![]() ![]() Besides this being my first pro sale, it is also a story I really love. (Though it will also be posted on the website at some point as well if you’re somehow allergic to getting awesome fiction in your inbox each weekday morning). So go sign up for their daily stories already, geez. ![]() So first, my story “No Spaceships Go” will be out from Daily Science Fiction on December 17th it looks like.
