What did you blog about today?

Nice little blog, Jo. It's a knotty problem, and it's important to resolve it somehow. Leaving aside personal matters, if writing becomes uneconomic as even a part-time profession then the only people able to do it will be the already wealthy. We'll end up with 80-90% of people unable to even attempt writing on a long-term basis or more seriously than as a hobby simply because the returns are so low.

Small blogging note, I'm on a minor hiatus because I've been working on book stuff. Not difficult, just time-consuming. Hoping to ramble inanely about something next week.
 
THE BEST READS - AS REVIEWED BY CATHBAD

One cannot help but agree with Jo :p

[As an aside, both books of mine have either a proper sequel or a follow-up book in the same world coming out pretty soon].
 
Following on from the publishing thread - here I'm attempting to write a book semi-live. This is the start of what I intend to be a new and seperate Abendau trilogy, and this is the draft of a first chapter. I happy for people to comment on it's direction etc (and my horrid early draft writing though I doubt I'll hear worse criticism than I give myself later ;))

There are huge spoilers for the first trilogy in this work - but that is the case no matter what I put out in that world, so don't venture in unless you are happy!

The last seer
 
Sorry to hear of your losses.

I've lost a few dogs, to old age, missing, shock death (Kai, to whom Sir Edric's Treasure, the second story in the released book, is dedicated actually died just before it was dedicated. I'd always planned on dedicating it to him, but that made it rather worse). Had to take one back too (unfortunately she got dangerously stressed by other dogs, and there are simply too many around here).

All of that's pretty horrendous, and I empathise.
 
At long last, I have started a writing blog. My aim is to post something every week or so. I don't know whether Blogger is the best platform for this sort of thing, but for the moment, there it is.

I decided to hit the ground running, and so far I have done three posts: an introduction, a list of recommended how-to books, and a post about the seldom-asked by actually rather important question: Do I really want to write this book?

Words to That Effect
 
I revealed a cover reveal in my blog on revealing the cover of Traitor's Prize, the cover of which has now been revealed:
Thaddeus the Sixth: Traitor’s Prize cover reveal

It's about as subtle as Sir Edric after a bottle and a half of Andelic brandy.
