Chapter 1 Natch was impatient. He strode around the room with hands clasped behind his back and head bowed forward, like a crazed robot stuck on infinite loop. Around and around, back and forth, from the couch to the door to the window, and then back again. Behind him, the window was tuned to some [...] - Mathralon • February 22, 2008

We often latch on to the authors we love. We realize this is a tough business, and we don’t want them to starve. We want them fat and happy, sitting on cushions stuffed with hundred dollar bills. But what’s the best way to help them? People who aren’t in the writing and publishing business often [...] - On DeepGenre: How to Write a Novel (Part 2) • January 21, 2008

The piece got much too long, so I split it into three parts. Here’s part 1. *** Remember [...] - Free Tech Tools Worth Blogging About • September 13, 2007
It’s phenomenal how much free software is out there on the web for the taking. I, for one, definitely take it for granted.
