Twitter Weekly Updates for 2012-01-15

  • ES&O 1st Line: George Thorogood was playing on the jukebox when I tossed Ollie Janks out on his ass. TWILIGHT CROSSING http://t.co/5ojCgHQt #
  • EXIT STRATEGY & OTHERS Opening Lines: "They would let him live, if he remained hidden until dawn." (DEBTS LONG DUE) http://t.co/5ojCgHQt #
  • @janicec678 Thanks. Still in the early going. Need to pick up the pace! #
  • @Deanna_Roe I prefer "entice" to "tease" 🙂 #
  • RED FRIDAY The last place Ned Zettel existed as a living man was in the E section of the Cherry Tree Mall parking lot. http://t.co/5ojCgHQt #
  • Whoa! Look what I just spotted at 2am last night: http://t.co/wT6NUslt #
  • I can use this ( http://t.co/wT6NUslt ) as my desktop wallpaper to keep me focused. http://t.co/lSVE0oq7 #
  • @janicec678 Did you see this yet? http://t.co/wT6NUslt #
  • @trackerem For right now! I'm writing the book at present. It's due MAR 1. Very tight deadline. #
  • Just finished reading script for this week's Supernatural. Had to smile, several times. Best way to get psyched for working on SPN:RoP. #
  • @JuliaGypsy This week's ep: Time After Time. #
  • @agtspooky I thought reading the scripts ahead of time would ruin the eps for me. But it's the opposite. I get more out of them. #
  • @agtspooky Plus, helps me know where the writers are going w/ some tidbit info seen earlier, so I can foreshadow rather than contradict it. #
  • @trackerem It helps to know where they are going, so my stuff won't contradict it. Helps me stay closer to canon. #
  • @trackerem This book will be out after we've seen all these eps plus MORE. So it helps me keep consistent w/ the arcs/mythos. #
  • @JuliaGypsy The show wants the books as close to canon as possible. This helps. I wrote "blind" for Buffy/Angel books. #
  • @agtspooky They're final shooting scripts so very close. Noticed a scene was moved from one ep to another. #
  • @JuliaGypsy I was given time frame. 3rd season Buffy. Then 1st and 4th season Angel. Certain rules. Go from there. Not as immediate as SPN. #
  • @JuliaGypsy Dean is probably the most fun to write. #
  • @mzflea @trackerem Definitely. And I'm never over budget. #
  • This could be bad. Son home sick today with fever. I've started to feel lightheaded. #
  • @janicec678 this season, before How to win friends and influence monsters #
  • @janicec678 I get advance scripts during the process. But you have to pick a place to start the story. #
  • @JunieBugg1 thanks for the info #
  • Back in research / outline-review mode for Supernatural: Rite of Passage http://t.co/wT6NUslt #
  • @Deanna_Roe I'm still writing SPN:RoP, so YES, you do have to wait a bit. The pub date is 5 days before my birthday, so that will be cool. #
  • @MJ2Zio Thanks! #
  • @schasemine Not sure. Did it take a while for NIGHT TERROR to come out in Germany? They don't tell me much about int'l publication dates. #
  • @tracy_in_uk Yes, but I can't say. #
  • @Deanna_Roe Ah… don't make me think about that. I'd rather stop counting at this point! #
  • @Deanna_Roe Good idea. I'll celebrate an "unbirthday" & subtract 1 yr every year, starting in '12. Bend the space-time continuum to my will! #
  • @schasemine I had 4 yrs of Spanish and 2 yrs of French but would never attempt to read a book in a foreign language. Good luck! #
  • Google search undergoes 'most radical transformation ever' http://t.co/hJWP3sVO #cnn #
  • Kindle Format 8 is here. Say hello to CSS3 & HTML5 http://t.co/iRMtjyo9 #
  • Save Community on NBC – Don't let them cancel it! Sign the petition! http://t.co/WXZFxY0I (we're watching season 2 on DVD) #
  • @mordahan2309 Wondering if we'll see the Impala ever again. #
  • @SPN_Sherry Great to see the support via Good Luck Supernatural #
  • @spyderlane71 Thanks! Glad you're enjoying SPN: NIGHT TERROR #
  • @Deangrl31 I have a long, 11 page, outline to work from. Flesh that out into full scenes, sprinkle in research, try to bring it to life. #
  • Use My Name for a Character in Your Supernatural Novel CONTEST is ON for Rite of Passage http://t.co/wT6NUslt -SPN Fans: Send me your names. #
  • For "Namesake Contest" send full name to my author[at]passarella[dot]com; if name used, you'll need to sign & have witnessed a disclaimer. #
  • Namesake Contest: I'll do a blog post with full contest details soon, probably on the weekend. #
  • Namesake Contest: For SPN: Night Terror, I used 7 or 8 real fan names as characters in the book! #
  • @janicec678 @Superfreak0409 Usually victims or witnesses. Brutal death of brief interrogation by S and/or D. #
  • @Superfreak0409 @janicec678 "Amy" might be a tough one, considering the fate of SPN's "Amy Pond." #
  • @janicec678 caught some flak for using Kendra on an Angel novel because Kendra had meaning in Buffyverse. #
  • @Superfreak0409 @janicec678 possibly some variation. #
  • @r_mullan either #
  • @mzflea No, essay but you can tell me how much you like Supernatural. 🙂 #
  • @Superfreak0409 @janicec678 I'll add MIMI to the list of potential names then. #
  • @janicec678 that sucks. Still no love from the masses. #
  • @janicec678 @superfreak0409 all names receives are on the list unless they won last time or name conflicts with show names aka dean Sam, etc #
  • EXIT STRATEGY & OTHERS, Kindle $2.99: 105,000 words, 11 stories, 2 brand NEW, 1 rare, 5 Wendy/Wither related, 6 others. http://t.co/5ojCgHQt #
  • Finally need to use a LinkedIn message and I keep getting errors. Sheesh… #
  • @Superfreak0409 Ooh, wish it was a few wks later. I won't have copies of new book that early in AUG. Could bring NT & postcards for RoP… #
  • @janicec678 @Superfreak0409 Not quite. SPN:RoP s/b out AUG 14. I only got copies of NT a few weeks ago! #
  • @janicec678 @Superfreak0409 Book writers aren't always "welcome" at media cons. Don't know how insular Creation is. #
  • @janicec678 @Superfreak0409 Ouch! TABLES ARE $300 EACH. Rather be invited as a guest. 🙂 #
  • @Superfreak0409 @janicec678 Maybe if enough NJ area fans ask (sweetly) for an NJ SPN author, they will invite me. #
  • @janicec678 @Superfreak0409 I'd have to sell an Impala's trunk's worth of Supernatural books to cover that cost. #
  • @janicec678 @Superfreak0409 Okay, I emailed their Guest Booking link. Will let you know if they have any interest in an author guest. Thx! #
  • @mzflea @janicec678 @Superfreak0409 Heard back from Creation already. Looking good. Will let you know. Then you can spread the word. #
  • @janicec678 @mzflea @Superfreak0409 That's fine. I meant spread the word so people show up at my book table/location. Don't want to flop! #
  • @mzflea @janicec678 @Superfreak0409 South NJ. #
  • @trackerem No details yet. They're going to contact me. It's a two hour drive for me. Travel shouldn't be an issue. #
  • @janicec678 @mzflea @Superfreak0409 Best case would have been late AUG. Then I would know 2nd book would be out. Otherwise, perfect. #
  • @kelios @trackerem This con: http://t.co/2TDhb15d #
  • @Superfreak0409 @janicec678 Talent Producer will be getting in touch with me. We'll see. Optimistic. #
  • Top 10 Self-Published Writers Make 449% More Money Through Amazon Lending Library http://t.co/gzYr5MO8 via @mashbusiness @mashable #
  • Proving truth is (to paraphrase) scarier than fiction. Woman Injects 'Bath Salts,' Loses Arm to Flesh-Eating Bacteria http://t.co/uHKLeeko #
  • @janicec678 The part about being able to watch the flesh dying as they operated was freaky. #
  • @Superfreak0409 Thanks. You must be nearing the end. #
  • @Superfreak0409 That's similar to a nightmare I've had. Thought not as extreme. #
  • $2.99 Kindle Deal! EXIT STRATEGY & OTHERS: 105,000 words of fiction, 30,000 brand new, "Flashpoint" & "Exit Strategy" http://t.co/5ojCgHQt #
  • Sorta apropos: Listening to "Leviathan" by Tangerine Dream while writing SPN: Rite of Passage. (No Leviathan in story!) http://t.co/wT6NUslt #
