Crowdfunding question
Dec. 7th, 2012 09:15 pmQuestion: If I run an Indiegogo campaign to fund – say – the illustration of Oysters, Pearls & Magic as a graphic novel, are people willing to donate?

It's Wolf At The Door's 1st birthday!
Apr. 3rd, 2012 11:13 amHappy birthday, Wolf At The Door!
The first PDF has already been given away - but I am extending the giveaway. Just drop a reply in the comments section.
And... my interview is tomorrow too!
I also seem to have developed a cough, or that my cough is still lingering. This always happens, before something big ... like my interview when I have to conduct a mock lesson. Gah.
~*~
Oh yes, I was the judge for Singapore Dreaming. The winner and honorable mentions are announced. Great job, writers - but work on your craft.
The stories were all grammatically sound, minus some minor errors here and there. The theme was "urban fantasy". Yet I got science fiction as well. The story that stood out was indeed urban fantasy, with angels living amongst humans - the idea of "freaks" is often explored in urban fantasy writing as well.
Note: These are my observations. :)

Book Launch/Party at The Garden Slug
Apr. 14th, 2011 11:34 pmBook Launch/Party at @thegardenslug: http://wp.me/pDLKt-5y- with pictures and gushing. ;) #ufchat #sgspec
Workday tomorrow - and I will soon turn in, right after I have posted this entry.
It's almost a week after book release. And it's a mixed bag of emotions for me. Promotion is definitely eating into my writing time. So is work. I need to write, at least for two hours per day. That if I can deal with the exhaustion of a whole day's work.
Am I the only debut author who checks the rankings everyday? Tell me that's normal!
LJ is on the frizz again. So, I am posting entries in DW and Wordpress.
Keep your eyes peeled. ;)

Wolves of any kind.

Wednesday state of the Saber: updatia
Feb. 23rd, 2011 08:18 amSome updatia as I try to work out an equilibrium between work and non-work life: My story "Cog-Work Cat" is in The Best of Everyday Fiction III: here. I love the story. It evolved from something steampunk to something totally different.
I scrolled through my recent posts and was struck by the incidence of sick/flu-ed/unwell posts. Time to kickstart my sword practice. I have to get well. I need to get well.
Did some updates and cleaning-up of my writery blog. Spammers are getting bolder these days and ruder. I got "As if!" on one of my posts. Look, if you are a genuine reader, that's not a good comment/feedback. If you are a spammer, well, your post just gave you away. GO AWAY.

Almost a month more before the release/launch of my novel. I figure March (my birth month) will get a bit more busy! Fasten ye seatbelts!

So, yes, the household is down with degrees of it. Baby is coughing and sniffling. I am coughing. The weekend has become one of cleaning up after baby.
At least, we got to go out and enjoy the (blistering) sunshine, if you ignore the coughing in the background.
I crave soup. Lots of it.
