NaNoWriMo – Crazy Stew

NaNoWriMo has always been my most successful writing, if by successful you mean word count and time spent. Three years in a row, I’ve yet to fail to hit my 50k words, even if I’m not quite at “The End” by the end of thirty days.

It’s also successful because you don’t have time to edit. You don’t have time to second guess yourself, or to worry about whether you’re putting in enough subtext, or if you correctly referred to one thing or another. You just have to get the words out, and you don’t worry about quality. That’s a freeing thing.

MPF Classic – High Moon

I realized something interesting. The story that precedes the current “live” story, The Devil’s Due, does not appear in text on the site. It’s appeared elsewhere, but not here in text – just audio. So, because this will go up on Amazon when Devil’s Due will, and because I’m a completist, here’s the text of my Great Hites story – “High Moon”.

High Moon  is now available from Amazon and BN.com. Meanwhile, enjoy the current story.

MPF 2.04 – The Devil’s Due

The Devil’s Due is now available on Amazon and will be up soon at BN.com, and wherever else I can put it. If you’d like to read it, links will be posted here when it goes live.

Meanwhile, feel free to read the current story.

MPF 2.04 update

Well, you have less than 24 hours to read Athena and the Mechanic for free, because the new story (featuring Seth “The Sinner” McAllen) is done. The first Sinner Story, High Moon, will go up on Amazon/BN.com/etc as soon as possible. I’ve been getting the illustrations for Athena and The Mechanic, and as soon as I have those in hand, that’ll go to the online retailers also.
Now I just have to figure out a name for this Seth McAllen story…
