Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-12-18

  • Been working on my novel outline all day. Character arcs, plot points, settings, action scenes, then trying to bring it all together. #
  • @kim_jacobs I try not to. This book will be different. Don't want to repeat myself. Hope it's just as good, but in a different way. #
  • Saudi woman beheaded for 'witchcraft and sorcery' http://t.co/fZ05R2G4 #cnn #
  • Self-published authors find e-success – http://t.co/9Wj2h0ho http://t.co/q9RsJr4Z via @USATODAY #
  • Your face is being tracked http://t.co/eB1yOoVM #
  • Close but no cigar. iTunes update restored playlists to my iPhone but the Top 25, etc. smart playlists are all wrong. Maybe next update. #
  • Hey @Staples, a #WorstGift I’ve received was 4 rolls of Lifesavers in a faux mini-book, because I'm a reader, maybe?? http://t.co/0Abon1Yt #
  • @Staples #1Follower I can’t live without a computer. As a writer w/ a typewriter any revision meant retyping EVERY PAGE http://t.co/nhLS5IIM #
  • Ah… my long, detailed draft outline is done. Tomorrow (well, later today), I need to condense & compress to get down to the short version. #
  • Still trying to recover from outlining work that kept me up until almost 5:30am last night. Not enough caffeine in the house, apparently. #
  • Reading about the Higgs Boson experiments is probably not the best way to segue back into my Supernatural novel outline. #
  • Turned in my outline for Supernatural: Rite of Passage a day early. Now waiting for notes to a) revise outline or b) use in 1st draft of ms. #
  • @kelios Thanks. I'm hoping to start writing the draft before JAN 1. But that depends on extent of the notes. Might need to start over! #
  • @kelios My blog now is basically weekly twitter updates. Never seem to have time to blog. Still trying to get my Fiction Collection out! #
  • @WinchesterBros Thank you! Those were my first tie-ins. Some out in eBook form now, some out of print. I have some Angels left. No Buffy. #
  • Is Amazon Pushing Publishers to Brink On Terms, Co-op? http://t.co/W5GYuBBh via @publisherswkly #
  • AppSumo is giving away an Amazon $100 Gift Card every year for life, if you win I win one too! http://t.co/5x6ZBTok via @appsumo #
  • @samjacklover Thanks. I appreciate your support! #
  • Here's the cover concept for my fiction collection, Exit Strategy & Others. http://t.co/j35o1TEG #
  • @SPN_Sherry Thanks. Now I have to get all the stories in one doc, add opening pgs, etc for ebook pub. #
  • @kelios @spn_sherry over half the stories are Wendy Ward stories. I'd have to think if there's anything I could use for the others. #
  • @kelios @spn_sherry No, all my stories. The non WW stories have: faeries, ghosts, zombies, genetically engineered monsters & a wolfman. #
  • Assembled the manuscript for the Fiction Collection. Looks like 107,000 words. Easy part. Hard part? Proofing all those tales! #
  • @trackerem I'm currently outlining the next SPN novel, Rite of Passage. #
  • @Fissemaddenzchn So far, I can promise no spiders in the next SPN book. At least no GIANT spiders. #
  • @Deangrl31 Thanks. I'm hoping to start writing the new novel before JAN 1, but depends on the outline review/revision process. #
  • @Fissemaddenzchn Dig site? What kind of dig site? Curious. #
  • @Fissemaddenzchn Sounds like the beginning of a Preston & Child novel. #
  • Write mini-introductions for all 11 stories in my fiction collection, Exit Strategy and Others. [Check] #
  • @Deangrl31 Thanks. Stay tuned on Twitter. I usually post here first, since it's so easy. #
  • @rachelcaine 5,000 word per day? Is that your normal goal? That's a LOT. I may hit that in the last 100 pgs of a ms but not throughout. #
  • @rachelcaine Wow! No wonder you are so prolific. I'm a big fan of your Weather Warden books and the Morganville Vampire series. #
  • Creating Kindle file for Exit Strategy & Others. Mobicreator failing on TOC gen, so I had to do that manually for waypoints. #
  • @Deangrl31 Thanks. You too. Hope you enjoy Night Terror the second time around. #
