Major and minor surgery

Posted on May 14, 2017 by L. Jacob

I’ve just finished Grimaulkin’s short, “Self Defense” and sent it to the editor. It’s a first draft, rife with errors probably, but hopefully will be an interesting part of Mike’s backstory. I’m looking into getting into Necronomicon, the H.P. Lovecraft … Continue reading →

Grimaulkin…soon, very soon.

Posted on May 7, 2017 by L. Jacob

Ok, so the podcast didn’t drop. Technical difficulties that I can’t figure out. GarageBand has changed its format, so it no longer does podcasts, and my RSS feed has to have artwork, which I don’t have access to. However, the … Continue reading →

Revision

Posted on March 26, 2017 by L. Jacob

A few years back, I plunked down a goodly amount of money for an online course on how to revise your novel. It’s by Holly Lisle (someone I never heard of, and someone whose books I’ve never read). It was … Continue reading →

Writing Environment

Posted on March 19, 2017 by L. Jacob

Grim is at the editor’s. A few common errors were found in the sample that was sent to me, things that are common for pantsers, like description before the subject instead of after, and use of flat words instead of … Continue reading →
