This Earth, This Realm, This England

That's me (above) in the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, a pedestrian tunnel under the River Thames which takes you from the north bank in East London into Greenwich right by the Cutty Sark, at left. I highly recommend using the tunnel if you're in London, it's amazing. As mentioned in previous posts, we spent a couple …

Writing/Editing Update: February Edition

Steampunk Novel. A long time ago I vowed I would do no more revising of the first three chapters of the manuscript until I had a complete draft. I decided to cheat on that vow a little, fixing a plot hole before I continue into chapter four. But only the plot hole. I fear I've got …

Writing/Editing Update: January Edition

Writing/Editing Update: November Edition

Novella #1. It patiently awaits my attention. Since this is a hundred manuscript pages, my  hardcopy review and red-pen markup will take a significant amount of time that I haven't yet made room for in my schedule. Novella #2. Big update here. Sent a query to an editor, who requested seeing the manuscript. It's with …
