So as you've probably noticed, I've been MIA for a bit. Normally when I do that, I'm buried in work. This time the situation was a little more dire, but I do want to apologize for my absence, explain what happened, and give some projections on where submissions and the like stand. Plus: interns! So. Short version of the story:...

I don't talk about personal things on this blog very much. This is a blog for the professional side of my life, generally involving writing and editing; there's always that level of just personal enough to be personable and relatable without delving too deep. A professional blogger, a professional anything tries not to cross that line...and in truth, I'm not...

So yesterday a silly tweet or two (or three...or twenty...) turned into an entire day of wombat snarkiness on Twitter, with Allison, LaTessa, Kerry, Janelle, Jeffe, and Kristine all getting their wombat on up in dis place. (Yes, wombats. Don't ask. FYI, Thursdays are now Wombat Day. Ffft ffft.) Of course Allison, in all her goofy glory, had to take...

I'm not dead! ...I think I see a little light past this pile of manuscripts and resumes... Anyway - I may be quiet here, but I've been quite noisy elsewhere. Namely over at Fresh Voices Friday, where Sue London interviews me as an unpublished writer / aspiring author (what? I still write in between editing? Gasp!): http://cmdrsue.blogspot.com/2010/05/fresh-voices-interview-with-adrien-luc.html Drop by, say...

Hey, guys, just a quick little bit of pimpage: I'm guest-blogging over at the Lyrical Press blog today, talking about author fatigue and how to write past it. Good lord, I'm a wordy bugger. Also: not too long ago one of my authors, Jason Beymer (author of the upcoming humorous fantasy ROGUE'S CURSE), did a great post on character development...

Now that yesterday's WTF inanity is out of the way: the good news. Yesterday I signed on as a Content Editor for Lyrical Press. Basically, that means I help authors shape their manuscripts into the best work possible prior to publication, and work with authors for the duration of their careers with Lyrical. I also get to participate in acquisitions,...

Okay, looks like I've now been tagged for two blog awards and have been entirely lazy in doing something about that, probably because they're basically memes from hell and "doing something" requires an hour of cadging post bits together. I normally ignore these things and fully expect 75% of those tagged to do the same, but this time I indulged...

...it's almost mid-February. Is anyone surprised that my outgoing Christmas cards are still sitting on the kitchen counter, addressed and waiting to be stamped and sent out?

Guilty not-so-secret confession: I love romance novels. I started reading them as a boy, when they were my only outlet to secretly explore certain things that confused the hell out of me. As an adult I have a little-indulged soft spot for romance, and adore a smart, engaging romance novel with a good mixture of conflict, wit, heart-warming moments, and...

Irrefutable fact: what you do on the internet can affect your life. Spouses have found evidence of marital infidelity on Facebook; people have been fired for things they said on blogs; friendships have ruptured over tweets; and on a more specific front, agents have passed over writers because they found blogs, Twitter posts, MySpace journals, and the like badmouthing agents...
