Writing progress, jonowrimo

Stacy | September 29, 2008

33,650!
I can’t find the progress bar I used to use. I’ve searched as much as my borderline-migraine brain will let me. I give up, and I’m going to bed. It’s enough that I just wrote two chapters more, and that we’re finally *getting* somewhere in the story!

I think this is it

Stacy | September 28, 2008

I don’t really need a two-sided card–and in fact, as an editor I prefer getting 1-sided cards because I can make notes on the back of the cards. I’ve been tweaking with my business card, and I kind of like just going with the iconic feeling. What do you all think of this?
 

Note that there’s a [...]

What do you think?

Stacy | September 27, 2008

(Friends-locked due to not wanting to post my phone number everywhere)
For the info side of my card:

And two options for the other side:

I really like that shot, but I kind of like the second one, which I used a stained glass filter on, because then it’s not so much about those particular books as it’s [...]

A picture poll

Stacy | September 26, 2008

Thanks for all the advice. If I go with one of the service I’m looking at, I have the option of including an RGB photo and can pull in my own for not all that much money. I’m thinking this might make the card look nice without adding foil or raised type. So, if I [...]

Business cards

Stacy | September 26, 2008

I know many a writer who has really interesting business cards. I might keep more toward the staid side, but at any rate I’m in the market for some. For those of you have had a need to get a business card of your own, where did you get yours? I’ve heard that there are [...]

Surprise at the West Jordan Public Library

Stacy | September 25, 2008

I walked in tonight to listen to Cinda Williams Chima, author of The Warrior Heir and its sequels, and got tapped on the shoulder as I sat down. “Hi Stacy!” says dlgarfinkle, who is sitting right behind me.
Now, we have to first understand that pretty much wherever I go, whether it’s downtown Chicago or the [...]

My cats are goofs

Stacy | September 25, 2008

What is it about candy corn that my cats must stare at me for hours on end when the bag of it is sitting next to me? They’ve already attempted to eat a kernel (which I caught them on, thank goodness), and with the bag sitting here next to me, their twin squinty-eyed expressions remain. [...]

Writing groups and individual consultations

Stacy | September 21, 2008

Just a quick clarification:
If you have questions about your specific manuscript while you’re writing it, it’s very helpful to get involved in a writing group. Actually, that’s what I did when I moved to Utah–I joined a writing group of close friends who know books and who I can trust to give open advice that [...]
