The Scribbler as Writer

NONFICTION

So here we go. As of March 5, 2012, I have made $108.96 on Textbroker. That’s a nice chunk of change and it would be a whole lot higher if I was used to cranking out nonfiction, but we’re getting there.

Adding this baby to my sidebar:

Original Articles. Constant-Content.

You can guess where I wrote those. So I’m copyrighting, so to speak, and anyone that wants to commission something, give me a ring.

FICTION

Summerlight moves forward. It wasn’t supposed to, but my muse is the kind that never says die. If I shelve a project, my muse will give me something new, then sneak off every chance it gets to go work on the old one. Go figure.

Storyworlds getting a few dumps and need about a gazillion more: I’m trying to cull all the notes I’ve scattered through would-be stories set in Vardin and dump them on Worlds of Mir so I can actually use them in Summerlight. I’ve a sneaking suspicion, I’ll always be a little behind on that.

The Scribbler as (Not) Tech

FANDOM

My fandom site, Whispers, needs help. She’s out-of-date and mid-process to getting anything like fixed up. :groans: Do not need to add more to my to-do list.

SOCIAL

For anyone who missed the announcement, my twitter has moved: @lianamir1 Now, just to get LiveJournal to actually update it when I post, like it used to!

My tumblr is not oft-updated, but there I throw out worldbuilding stuff I like or wrestle with myself.

The Scribbler as Publisher

So, The Intentional Writer is shippable, once I make a cover and format and do that whole tag/category/meta thing. Yeah. :shudders: But it’s done, clocking in at 8752 words, which is not bad for me. Once I get it formatted, I will send the PDF free to anyone who agrees to give it an unbiased review wherever it gets up for sale.

Sorry for getting this out late. Sunday was my grandfather’s birthday! I was busy celebrating.

How did your week go? Anything exciting?

Sounds like things are progressing, lovely! =)

As for me - nothing really exciting, just busybusybusy as I'm sure you can relate. <3

Yes, ma'am, I can! I'm excited about things moving along, but I do need to get this nonfiction muse into gear a little better or else find some way to get more fiction written faster. I've seen all these Kickstarter things, but I don't really have that kind of audience at this point, and a flopped Kickstarter does not sound like fun.

I can't remember if I told you that I wrote you a review on Amazon.de? (it's here, if I didn't) Not sure if you'd have seen it, what with this being the .de site. Ah well. Now you know.

[scribblemyname]

Wow. No, I hadn't seen it (DE and all that and not being able to read the language), but THANK you! Did you want a fic written? And :hugs: Definitely those.

[trovia.livejournal.com]

Heh. Cool. *hugs back* If you were wondering, I said it's a well-written fic, also with good editing (unlike some other Kindle ebooks), and I reiterated the content of the story and gave an estimation of how well you have to know English to understand it.

Oooh, I'd love a fic! Could you write me something on sport? Just recently I was thinking that I'd love to read a scifi or fantasy fic with a bit of worldbuilding about the world's sports events (plus, my protagonist has turned out to compete in knife throwing tournaments. It made me aware that scifi / fantasy folks never seem to care about sports). If you'd rather stick with fanfic, of course, I'll always enjoy a bit of Wolverine gen. :)

[scribblemyname]

I have just been pondering the dilemma of sports myself. Entertainment is too ubiquitous to get glossed over in SFF. Hmm... :thinking:

[scribblemyname]

Sorry this one is taking so long. It turned out to be a religion worldbuilding monster.

Hee! Take your time.
