I may be switching over to the Twenty Fifteen theme for the site. It does not have a page menu at the top though, from what I can see of the preview, so I’d need to provide one for you if I did that!

Hmm, okay. I looked at the publish date for my writing on the site this year and nope, posting new story parts on a semi-regular schedule would definitely be a new thing, haha. Still, as long as I stay positive and carry it forward into next year, that’s the main thing!

The posting frenzy continues
So, there are a couple of thoughts which came up when I was looking at publishers earlier today. The main one is this: does it bother you that a dude is writing stories about women, for women? I have to consider this when approaching publishers. They may not want to take me on, or they…

Searching for a publisher, Part 3
I had a look at the submission guidelines for Bella Books just now. I think that I can tick all the boxes there. Honestly though, I’ve never knowingly formatted anything according to the Chicago Manual of Style. They do accept e-mail submissions, and it must of course include a covering letter, a synopsis and of…

Searching for a publisher, Part 2
My next hit of the day is Dreamspinner Press. Now, unfortunately, they specialise in M/M pairings, with F/F being acceptable as a secondary relationship. However, the rest of their submission guidelines look good, and they’re interested in cross-genre works! Also, they accept e-mail submissions. 🙂 Anyway, positive result, even though I probably won’t contact them.…

No electronic submissions? Okay look. This is the twenty-first century. If you want to print out a bunch of my manuscripts so you can look…

Of brains and HD images
Strange dreams continue. I’m not quite sure how brains can conjure completely new photo-real images. I don’t even know what to do with such an image, except maybe to describe, and words are almost inadequate. I guess the focal point has to be the eyes. They’re narrow, and the irises are light, possibly light blue…

I did get around to the writing, a day late. I now have The Rescue of Princess Irena Part 4 as a buffer. No Way Home Part 4 has also progressed nicely. 🙂 I don’t think I got a lot of words done, what with watching Under Siege 2 at mum’s tonight, but I blew…

Also, active vs passive cooling for laptops
Ha! Two blog posts in one day! You just can’t shut me up. 🙂 So, as you may have gathered, there’s active and passive cooling. Active meaning that your fans are spinning, passive meaning that they aren’t. Now on the one hand, passive cooling does allow your laptop (or netbook in my case) to save…
