I’ll spare you the daily word count and just tell you that I only wrote a total of 2,721 words on Dominion this week. Monday and Tuesday, I didn’t produce any words of actual story, but I did go over Read more…
I still have to mail in the paperwork to make it official, but Daydreamer Publishing has a logo! Here’s the black and white version that will be used for print: And here’s the full color version for the (eventual) web Read more…
Well, the owner of the pic I used in the last Hungry Child cover mockup has never gotten back to me about permission, which is a shame because that pic would have been perfect. Oh, well. Back to the drawing board.
I found a nice, moody picture of a road in the woods on Stock.xchng, and if I’m understanding the license correctly, I can definitely use this one. So here are four cover variations that I mocked up. Take a look, if you please, and then answer the poll at the end of the post. Feedback comments are also welcome. Danke very much.

I debated which blog to post this in, but since it involves my writing space, I thought it was appropriate for this one.
I’m still four scenes shy of finishing the second draft of Hungry Child.

When I started, I only planned to spend an hour or two dealing with some of the clutter and then get back to editing, but I ended up doing a thorough spring cleaning and decluttering that took up the rest of the day. But you guys, it was bad in here. I’ve been neglecting my office lately–I haven’t even worked in here for over a month. Aside from cleaning the cat boxes (my office doubles as the cat room) and vacuuming occasionally, I haven’t really done any cleaning in here since filling it halfway up with my deceased mother-in-law’s files and things.
I ended up being too scatterbrained yesterday to get any editing done, but today I made good headway on my novelette-length short story, Dream Child. Among other things, I settled on a new title to replace the working title, and Read more…
Instead of posting my word count daily, I’ll try to reign myself in to a weekly report. Here’s this week’s progress (so far) on Dominion of the Damned: . Daily Word Count . Date: Project: Word Count: . 5/9/2011 Dominion Read more…
The other day I bought the domain daydreamerpublishing.com, although I don’t know yet whether I’ll ever actually use it. I’ve seen some great arguments in favor of self-publishers going to the effort of setting up their own publishing imprint.
For those who don’t know because they don’t read my other blog, I’ve been doing the Inkygirl 250 Words a Day Challenge. There’s also a 500 word challenge and a 1,000 word one, but even though my output has been Read more…
