What I’m up to

I thought I’d mention a couple things I have going on.

First of all, I’m outlining the Nano novel. As I’ve mentioned (how many times…), Nano begins on the first of November. I’ve participated for the last two years, and for both of those I wrote from the seat of my pants, so to speak. I’ve decided to loosely outline this year’s novel, probably outlining 6 or 12 scenes ahead. I’m hoping that this will give the novel a bit more structure without killing the spontaneity of the experience. I’ll keep you posted on how it’s working.

I’m also finishing up a short story for Paperback Writer’s e-boook contest. That will be posted here by Halloween, so please stop back by and download it. You should also check out her site for the other entries; I’m betting there will be quite a few of them.

I’m preparing to move this blog from typepad to its own server. It’s not that I’m unhappy with typepad, but we’re already paying hosting on that box, and it doesn’t make sense to pay both. Besides, the company we’re using Open Source CMS is very good. I’m thinking of giving WordPress a try. I’m not sure if that will happen this weekend, but I hope to have it finished before the e-book goes up. I’ll leave this one up for a while with a link to the new one.

So, that’s what I’ve been doing, and will be doing. Happy weekend!
