Just One, I Promise!

I am such a software whore. I had to. Take a screenshot. Because I'm so in love.
Which is typical of who I am, I guess.
I am the most disorganized person. The state of my home is "lived in". Don't look in the kitchen unless you're wearing a full bio-hazard suit.
But give me a tool that does what it's supposed to, and does it well, and does what I need it to-- and all the sudden I'm so productive I don't know what to do with myself. I imagine my daily wordcount will increase as I get used to Scrivener, but right now I think 1500 or so a day is fine.
It's sure as hell more than I was doing a week ago. When I was lucky if I got a couple hundred out, on the days I didn't have off.
At this rate I might have Blood Red done before its prequel is even sold.
*blinks*
Anyways, without further ado: Scrivener Porn!



Please note how many different projects I'm working on (separate windows along the bottom). Whichever one strikes my fancy on Any Given Morning is the one that gets the attention. Which I find works well simply because ....

Now the muses are Forced To Behave And Cooperate if they want my attention.
But then... Jhez is showing me that those words still give her plenty of room to play in.

Meet the Muses: Origin: Mike

Mike is my character from the soon-to-be-released 'Dark Edge of Honor.' I’ve been acquainted with a number of different veterans and soldiers through the years, but there was one specifically—a person I don’t know, and never met—that sparked the beginnings of this story and was the avatar of the spirit behind him. Late in 2009, I stumbled rather deliberately upon the website of photojournalist Michael Yon and delved into the dispatches from his 2005 embed with deployed troops in Iraq. One of them stopped me in my tracks. Entitled “Gates of Fire,” (click here for the link to Yon's full dispatch) it recounted an incident involving the Deuce Four’s Lt. Colonel Kurilla and Command Sergeant Major Prosser which Yon witnessed, camera in hand.

My Mini-Vacation

I'm taking all of next week off from my regular day-job so that I can celebrate DEoH's release-- Snoopy-Dancing and Grinning Like an Institutionalized Loon. Without scaring the customers. It's not really  a vacation, because I'm still working, after a fashion. If it were a real vacation, I wouldn't be staying at home, that's for sure. If I could take a real  week's vacation, I'd be here: Best View Ever, Bora Bora Hammock. However, I'm not. I'm in my little writer corner all week long, availing myself to fans and readers and bloggers and such, doing all the marketing and promo stuff that a good little author does. [Yes, Good Little Author. Pat me on the head and give me a cookie now!] But I think I'll keep this picture handy. As my desktop background or something, perhaps. Because, woohoo, that's gorgeous ain't it? They have restaurants with extreme al fresco dining, where the tables and chairs are in the water. One d...
