Pantser, Plotter, Plantser

Posted on September 15, 2021 by L. Jacob

I’m not a pantser anymore. I have a poster up on my corkboard that has “My Contract With My Reader”. The first thing is: “I will not waste your time.” Ergo, “I will not waste my time.” As a pantser, … Continue reading →

Posted on July 30, 2021 by L. Jacob

My podcast has returned! Take a listen to it on iTunes (er, Apple Podcasts). Whatever you do, don’t go to the website darkmysticquill.com. It’s a mess. We’ll get to fixing it soon. … Continue reading →

NaNo, week 2

Posted on November 11, 2019 by L. Jacob

I’m up to 21K words on this horrible novel that I’m going to trash when I’m done. I worked on it all weekend and half the day today so I could take tomorrow off on it, since it’s a dialysis … Continue reading →

Almost there!

Posted on October 27, 2019 by L. Jacob

The good thing about dialysis is I have time to read books. I broke down and got Kindle Unlimited, so I could get some fiction books for “free” ($9.99/month). I also purchased a few Kindle editions of books that are … Continue reading →

Butt in gear

Posted on September 22, 2019 by L. Jacob

I have lots of things to obsess about. The dialysis (which has given me four hours of reading time three times a week), the next book which already has a writer’s block on the first chapter, and what’s going to … Continue reading →

One down, one to go!

Posted on December 16, 2018 by L. Jacob

Finished “Gemini” for Air yesterday. Now I have Aquarius. I was going to do an abolitionist who teaches free blacks how to read, but as I dug more into what the Aquarius man was like, I have decided to change … Continue reading →

Research and twisting history

Posted on October 14, 2018 by L. Jacob

I am doing research right now for a story for Air.  I’m taking history and twisting it around. Two men worked together as Washington’s spies. What if they had relations between each other? I won’t go into the whole thing, … Continue reading →

At the Con!

Posted on August 19, 2018 by L. Jacob

I’m reporting to you live from the Worldcon76 in San Jose CA! So far, we’re doing fairly well with the books and selling. But mostly I came out here to get my name out. Hopefully to sell more books, too! … Continue reading →

On my mind

Posted on July 29, 2018 by L. Jacob

War Mage…. How tough it is to write. But I have to; there’s a fan base that’s looking for it. Or there may be after the Cons I’m going to. I’ve written eight parts of the “Devour” story on Maxwell … Continue reading →
