the meerkat does not understand this mentality...

Last night was at the Masters Series Scotch Tastying, featuring Glenmorangie and Ardbeg. Yum. But moving slow this morning as a result.... (no overindulgence, just exhaustion) Meanwhile, I've been informed...YOUR library, the books are already paid for!) and get a legitimate copy.... Is it just ignorance? Arrogance? Or is there something I'm missing, in my desire to make a living/keep my industry healthy

What part of "neither permission nor forgiveness" do you not understand?

HuffPo Fail: Yesterday, after several of us discovered our Tweetfeed being reposted via Huffington Post -- with ads posted alongside, which none of us had agreed to (using our content to generate money...via Fictionwise -- not sure how new Fictionwise owner B&N is going to feel about that...) Why yes, we are serious about "my words are mine." Go look up "copyright" before they steal those words, too

Further to the Google Settlement discussion..

Something that hit the newswire this morning: "Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page disclosed on Friday that they plan to give up their majority control of the internet group over the next five...Their planned stock sales will mark a highly symbolic end to their formal control over the company." Corporate all the way, now. "Don't Be Evil" is transferred to "Don't Disappoint the Shareholders.

I take my weekends on other days...

Having finished a project and sent it off to be torn apart commented upon by my Occasional Muse, I woke this morning thinking thinky thoughts about the next project. Apparently, however, those thinky...Positive Displacement? Y'know, the "I need to think about this but I can't think about this yet so I'm going to go do something otherwise distasteful so the thoughts will come rescue me" thing?

the state of the meerkat, thursday afternoon

Option material is away to mine editor at Luna, who will in turn take it higher up the chain, and they will come back, eventually, and tell me if I get to eat for the next year, or if I'll have to go on...with the team, and that maybe she's not all that far removed from where nate once stood on the Ground of the Righteous? [or at least legitimate]?) Last word for now: Parker with that safe, FTW.

Here's Your Door: Lady or the Tiger?

Today, I spent three hours in a conference room in Manhattan, attending a seminar on the Google Settlement. Sponsored jointly by the American Society of Journalists and Authors, ASJA, the National Writers...reassured. And I have to make my final decision -- opt in, or opt-out? -- this week. And, if you have published anything in the past that you hold copyright to -- so do you. I hope this was helpful..

I shall hug it and squeeze it and call it a draft...

Finished the first draft of FIRE BREAK this afternoon, making it 13,000 brand new words in five days. If I could just do that every week... It's still messy and in dire need of some restructuring, but...my attention to the Paris 24 story, and the final readthrough for PACK OF LIES. Goal for completion: Tuesday. And, in other yay! news: Website updated! (guaranteed accurate for at least 48 hours

I really shouldn't laugh....

A reader (listener's) reaction to FLESH AND FIRE: "I loved her Retriever novels. This is not one of them." I really don't know what else to say. Obviously, I'm sorry the reader was disappointed, and...to flip their wig because the PSI books are (mostly) 1st person*... [*I am still amused as hell about the reviewer who claimed that ALL urban fantasy is written in the first person. ALL of it. Um.....

Day 2 of the 2-Day Writing Push

writing things: 4,000 words yesterday, total, plus interview questions, and the first half of a freelance gig. Only 2700 new words written so far today. I know I'll be able to put away another thousand...editing and copywriting. It fills the space between 11am and 4 pm so nicely. non-writing things: For my fellow Leverage fans: http://popculturezoo.com/archives/5049 You're welcome. :-
