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 Namely over at Fresh Voices Friday, where Sue London interviews me as an unpublished writer / aspiring author (what?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...

Lately every time my mind wanders, it goes limping down memory lane. Maybe it's a sign of early-onset senility. Maybe it's just that time of year when one reflects on one's life. I can't say I've done much reflecting; I've done a lot of cringing, remembering stupid things I've done and embarrassing situations I've been thrust into. But while dodging...

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...

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?

Similar to my post about the ever-so-clever fellow offering a literary agent a 50% commission deal via Craigslist (and setting himself up for scammers), I've been boggling over the recent rash of Craigslist posts seeking a literary agent. I even saw one hokey-looking agency post seeking authors and screenwriters, one that screamed "scam" in flashing red lights. But this one...oh,...

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...

Wow, has it really been a week since I posted? Feels like an eternity. I just haven't had anything worth saying - but today, something caught my eye. On Twitter, I follow a user who's basically nothing more than a feed of all the writing and editing jobs posted to Craigslist in every major city. And as a flood of...

Last night on Twitter, a friend compared restructuring her novel to climbing Everest without gear or a guide. My response? "People have lived on Everest without modern technology, climbing pitons, nylon rope, or expensive cold-weather gear. If people can survive on Everest with fires, huts, and goat skins, you can make this novel work." Fortunately she was smart enough to...
