News from Squire's Isle

Hello, folks, and how is everyone out there in the world this weekend?

I just wanted to drop in and make an appearance. I was doing really well for a while there, updating this really frequently. But I think editing and revising have eaten my brain. I don’t have too much to comment about/on other than I’m continuing to put my nose to the grindstone to get Only Flame and Air out to the publishers. Hopefully by the end of next week. It’s taken me longer to revise than it took to write. <g>

I’m no longer planning to edit the other book before NaNo. That can wait. I’m totally edit/revised out. Besides, it’ll give the publishers a chance to breath between submissions, which is always a good thing. Can’t have them asphyxiating! At least not while working on MY books. <g> But I will write a few fanfic stories just to get into the flow of writing before the hectic month of November starts.

If anyone out there isn’t participating in NaNoWriMo… consider it. It’s a lot of fun and, win or lose, you get a feeling of having done something great, and been a part of something huge. Try it, you’ll like it!

What I’m reading: Peter and the Secret of Rundoon, by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. It’s really a surprisingly good read. It’s Young Adult, so it reads very quickly, but it’s a good story. It’s renewed my love of Peter Pan! So that’s a plus. I used to love Peter Pan when I was a kid, so this is a great series of novels.

What I’m watching: Amanda Tapping’s new series Sanctuary and the final season of Stargate Atlantis. I’ve started watching Chuck, House continues to be good (in my mind, anyway. Your mileage may vary depending on how you feel about the new Ducklings), and I cannot wait for 30 Rock to start up again.

What I’m hearing: Josh Ritter singing Potter’s Wheel at this particular moment.

Do you have a question you want to ask me? A story you want a sequel to? Characters you’d love to see again? Drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do for you! I love hearing from fans!
