Brandon Sanderson Should Fund A Rival to Amazon Books
It doesn't have to be Brandon Sanderson, but I mention him because he's, well, frickin' Sanderson, right? He just got the biggest Kickstarter in the history of Kickstarters funded, the money's there, and he has some opinions on Amazon and bookstores that I think would make him a good candidate for doing it. So, think… Continue reading Brandon Sanderson Should Fund A Rival to Amazon Books
Second Draft, Faster Than The Last
Well, I finished the draft for book two! Summoned to the Wilds took me 28 days with a pretty tight outline and a good feel for what needed to happen to get me to the ending. Here's my word count per day for the last month-ish: 2/24 - 54303/7 - 46063/17 - 43872/25 - 60353/8… Continue reading Second Draft, Faster Than The Last
#1LineWed – Theme: Banner
The thing about #1linewed is it makes me look very closely at a very small piece of writing. Sometimes I'm fine with just throwing up something that matches the theme, knowing I'll be editing those words in the future, and sometimes they even stay like that in the final draft. But this was one of… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: Banner
Vacancy, The Omnibus, is Here!
I don't know why I schedule everything for Wednesdays here at AKCaggiano publishing, but boy do I ever. It's #1linewed by default, I always release my newsletter on a Wednesday, and pretty much all of my books come out on Wednesdays too. Today is all three! First, the omnibus! There isn't any new content included… Continue reading Vacancy, The Omnibus, is Here!
So, I Finished A Draft In Record Time
I mean...wow, go me. And it makes sense; this book had the clearest, concisest outline I've ever done even though I hacked it to absolute bits at the end of last month when I decided that this standalone, planned out to be about 80k words total, was going to be blown up into a 300k+… Continue reading So, I Finished A Draft In Record Time
#1LineWed – Theme: Was
I think blood is mentioned in every single chapter of this book, but I swear there aren't even any vampires in it (until book two), and this main character is an edgelord, but also it's supposed to be campy, and sometimes I'm super confident about these drafts and other times I am like what the… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: Was
#1LineWed – Theme: This
This might make no sense out of context. but I think I've posted the context as an excerpt before? Regardless, edits and new ideas change early drafts, and so he is one of my interminable sentences stuffed up against one of my teeny, tiny ones, a favorite combo. Mini update: holy shit things are going… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: This
Today I Feel Awful, But I’m Doing Great
I don't know why my body insists on alerting me when I'm ovulating to the point I am crippled yet won't let any of my other baby-making parts work? It's incredibly rude. But here I am, barely functioning on about three hours of sleep because some-ovary has decided to be a total and utter bitch… Continue reading Today I Feel Awful, But I’m Doing Great
#1LineWed – Theme: Long
I was very excited to see what the writers over on Twitter came up with for this theme. *winky face* Now that I've got such a new draft it was rough looking for something sharable. I discovered I use the word "long" or a variation on it way too many times, and none of the… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: Long
