Death card

Posted on April 7, 2019 by L. Jacob

The Death card in Tarot means endings and new beginnings. I’ve just finished Grimaulkin Tales (not Grimaulkin Collected – that’s the omnibus edition) and it will be available May 1. Now I’m working on Blood From a Stone, doing the … Continue reading →

Editing

Posted on March 10, 2019 by L. Jacob

I will admit, I did some writing when I was in the hospital. When I got home, I typed it up and sent it to my editor. Not my best work. The stories that I had done before the hospital … Continue reading →

Posted on January 6, 2019 by L. Jacob

This week, I finished the final edits of Air, so that’s on track to be published in February. I also printed out Blood From a Stone, looked at it, and realized that editing it was too daunting, considering the editing … Continue reading →

Air completed (V1)

Posted on December 23, 2018 by L. Jacob

Due to surprise complications at work (basically, IT decided my department wasn’t a priority), I had some free time to finish writing Air. The editor said that I seemed to have more fun writing these. I wouldn’t say it was … Continue reading →

OH NO! Not enough story!

Posted on November 25, 2018 by L. Jacob

I finished Yellowtree this morning, this first draft clocking in at 40,314 words. There are a few spots that I could repeat, and a few threads that I totally dropped.  One book I’m reading now has repeated the main character’s … Continue reading →

NaNo Update

Posted on November 18, 2018 by L. Jacob

Yellowtree may not be called Yellowtree anymore, but The Walker, not sure yet. I don’t like The Walker because it makes it sound like much darker fantasy.  I’m up to 29K words as of this writing, thinking, “It’s all downhill … Continue reading →

3 days until exhaustion

Posted on October 28, 2018 by L. Jacob

November 1 is special to me this year. It not only is the starting gun of NaNoWriMo, but it is also check-in for RI ComicCon. RI ComicCon, although smaller in scope than WorldCon, feels to me like a make or … Continue reading →

At the risk of repeating myself…

Posted on October 21, 2018 by L. Jacob

Hello! This week there’s nothing really new. I’m writing Gemini for Air and multi-tasking about contemplating what to write for National Novel Writing Month. I have some scenes ready to do, but I’m not going to be able to start … 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 →
