Catching up, heating up, and bad manners!

CatConnor — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:05:40 -0800

It's been a crazy, hectic, frustrating few days down here in New Zealand. Terrorbyte was released on Nov 10th. Amazon have screwed up and screwed me. They added a region restriction - right after releasing kindle for PC. There is a word that fits here. Wankers! So they allowed us (New Zealand, Australia, probably the entire south pacific, definitely Asia) to download kindle for PC, then ...

They come in threes...

CatConnor — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:24:02 -0800

It's true things come in threes, usually annoying things. I'm probably going to be rather conservative with my blog today (word count wise) am entrenched in writing my NaNoWriMo story and don't want to spend too much time on anything else. (Consider yourself warned) Had a wonderful weekend down south. It all went very well. Back home Monday night. Managed to write a few words between ...

Tuesday: it's less exciting than it could be

CatConnor — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:29:00 -0700

A couple of things this week - I'm now sitting in a whole new place in the living room. Having had a minor fit about being SICK TO DEATH of being in the middle of the dining room-living room where the kids can dump their crap ON MY DESK, and bug me constantly from the kitchen, and the dining room table.I'm just that much further out of the way. Far enough that they can't ask me to get things ...

The characters that drive me crazy...

CatConnor — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:34:50 -0700

We made it to Thursday night -fabulous! It's not like we wouldn't but whether or not we'd all be intact was debatable. Seems like the last few weeks have been a tad rough. Monday I realized one of my two new characters was a total pain in the ass to work with. Not a good thing to discover at all. Don't get me wrong -I like him fine. It's just that he's so far out of my comfort zone that I ...

And for the next few days I am...

Howdy folks, It's been a VERY busy week. Ending with a super busy weekend, as the final edits (tweaks) of terrorbyte needed to be back to my gorgeous editor A-sap. She's going away, I'm going away - so everything has to be finished before we both take a break! I worked all yesterday morning to get the final few niggly tweaks done and then looked it over again last ...
