(writing/random/dept v) Heaven's not beyond the clouds, it's just beyond the fear

Really, I will start updating this blog with more writing/Dept V content soon, I promise. Right now, I've got a five things make a post....


1. Blog Interview!

I'm interviewing the fabulous J.C. Hutchins next week to promote the release of his book 7th Son: Descent. It's currently available as a free podcast through iTunes, or a free blog serial at BoingBoing. (Information on all this here). Got a question you want to ask Hutch? Let me know and I'll include it! (I'll need questions no later than tomorrow, so he has time to answer them!)

2. New Website!

The website will be going dark at some point in the next two months as I make the switch to Wordpress. No, I won't be abandoning this blog, but I'll be making it a mirror, at least for the present, to what's going to be on the website. And when it comes up, there'll be a bunch of new stuff, including new content for deptv!
Which brings me to...

3. deptv

This will be coming to life in the next few weeks as well, as I start ramping up for a killer year next year. Definitely take a look around Halloween - I can almost guarentee there will be some treats for my agents!

4. NaNoWriMo

Yes, I'm doing NaNo, right now with The Pirate Crown. However, I might switch up at the last minute and do Last Rites, especially if I scrap what I have (I might) and start over. That being said, I will be doing NaNo. I'm just not sure with what yet.

5. And from the realm of the bizarre...

My hometown has gone insane.

Basically, if you didn't click the link, one of the Town Selectmen from my hometown has put forth a motion to have the town secede from the State of New Hampshire. Seriously. This is a town that doesn't even have a high school, or anything bigger than a corner pizza shop/general store in it, and they're going to secede.

Best thing? THEY DIDN'T VOTE IT DOWN!!!! They're still considering it.

*sigh*

(writing) Passing along to help a friend

For domynoe:

In an effort to raise the $1000 we need to close this house in the next week, I'm offering to critique (NOT edit) novels for $75 +/- (depending on page count). I was senior editor at Lilley Press & have a sharp eye in critiques. If curious about my skills, you can ask shade53 or vg_ford.

All proceeds will go to getting this house.

If interested, please contact me privately and we'll talk.

(Yes, I can highly recommend her!)
