It’s been a while since I’ve done interviews so this one is a little raw. Forgive me.
And there are some MAJOR spoilers so please be warned when you listen.

Secondly I wrote 4000 words last night and finished off Of Gnomes and Dwarves Book 1. I didn’t just finish it off, but I feel really good about how the ending came out. I think it’s a lot stronger than the original version (which was good, but bumpy). As I’d been saying I wrote this book the first time with a lot of passion, and not a lot of talent. This time around I think my writing skills have improved to the point where I wrote the story the way I’d intended to. Only one character didn’t come out the way I wanted and I’ll be fixing that in the rwrites. Overall I’m happy with the effort, but it’s time to let it sit for a month before I jump in and start to edit.

I’ll be editing the next edition of the Action Pack Podcast tonight. Mike and I will have that up and available hopefully tomorrow. Now that I think about this, I think I know what I’ll be doing today and tomorrow. I’ll be writing the December edition of Golden West. This story is also coming up on its climax and the writing on that will go quickly as well.

I also need to do a little plotting on V&A Shipping II. I’m finding I write better and faster when I have at least a little understanding of where my story is going. I’m excited to start this project fro NaNoWriMo. It’s been too long since I’ve been in this universe. Once I have it completed, my favorite daughter wants me to write Astel II (Astel: Chooses). At least that’s the working title. Then I want to write Of Gnomes and Dwarves Book II.

So many words, so little time. In the past 4 days I’ve written 14,500 words. I feel great about that. I’m hoping I can keep this pace up for at least the Month of November. That means I’ll be able to crank out V&A Shipping II during November, and jump right into Astel II. Maybe I’ll even circle back around and finish off To Fall From the Sky and get to work on Life of Lists. I have a lot of works in the air that are partially started and need to be written, rewritten, and finished.

At this point I’m not 100% sure what I’ll be doing with them. My hope is I’ll be able to get them written, edited, get some cover art, and I may self-publish some of them, I’d like to podcast some of them, I’d like to make them available in print. I’m getting to the point on this year and coming into next year where I’ll be able to put out work faster than ever before. This means I truly can treat this like a part time job and start getting works out there and available for people to read. In some ways I want to seek out a publisher, in other ways I want to do this on my own. It’s a confusing time for me as a writer right now. I just need to get past this mental block, get more work completed, and then make a choice.

What are you thoughts? Should I seek traditional publishing for some, self-pub others, podcast some? If I keep writing I’ll have work coming out faster than a traditional publishing could handle and even though I’m patient, I don’t want the first books held up while I pump out second books in a series. While I work through NaNoWriMo I’ll have to give this a lot more thought.

First I need to go to a CPR training class, so I’d better get ready and go.

Until Tomorrow!

WOO WOO!

In Part 1 – me and two other Templars (one of the three factions of The Secret World) talk about gaming and how it’s helped our writing. We also talk a bit about The Secret World.

We would love for you to join us and you can do so at <a href=”http://on.fb.me/tws-templars” target=”_blank”>http://on.fb.me/tws-templars</a>

We’d love to have you as Templars but understand if another faction suits you better!

I’ll try and get other links up soon.

Get your pen handy because there a few good links in here!

I’ll be honest, I had it all planned out for a beginning of the year podcast release #42. I wanted to share the top 10 books of 2011 that I loved. I figured that would be an easy way to slip back into the groove. But I put it off.

A good friend, and occasional soon to be co-host, JR Murdock keeps prodding me with a stick. Giving me suggestions on how I can get back into my writing, how I can get the podcast started up again, how I can start reaching for those goals that were so important to me over a year ago. He’s even recorded a few “conversations” with me that I plan to put up as casts. As you can see…those haven’t been put up yet either.

I’ve started finding that with the lack of pain, I have more of an urge to do things. I still hesitate (and I’m still trying to figure out why) but deep in me – I WANT to go back to accomplishing something.

One of the things I’ve been doing to help me in several areas is dedicate time in my day – usually before bed to go through a Guided Meditation. I listen most often to Mary Maddox of Meditation Oasis. She has several wonderful ones including ones for talking to your “inner child”, creativity, finding stability when you are overly stressed, etc.

But there are a few she hasn’t had time to get to. Last year in the middle of helping my mom recover, I had the idea to start doing Guided Meditations for Writers. Being a writer and a voice actress, my brain came up with quite a few subjects for the meditations that I feel would help people.

I’m mentioning this for a few reasons. One…look at me maw…I’m writing. Two…my purpose for Talechasing has always been to help people who may have similar problems in getting their fiction out into the world and this would be a new and unique way to try to help. And three…I want to be upfront with the fact that after a short period of time of being released, I may either ask for donations for the site or put packages together of the meditations for a small fee. I would love to be altruistic and give them away for free forever but my medical bill collectors don’t find they work well with altruism.

So to end this little post, I’d like to ask those out their listening/reading – is that something you would consider doing? Donating or after a short period of free availability would you pay a modest amount for a re-mixed version of a guided meditation? Your answers are appreciated. And I will see you in another post soon.

Since this is a re-start to the cast and site…write in the comments any ideas you have for making it better or what you’d like to see. I really want to know. Oh and tell all your friends I’m back! Thanks
