Apparently I haven’t much to say right now. I am freakishly busy on the design side right now, and the writing is taking such a back seat that the caboose has decoupled from the train. I’ll get back to it, and this here blog, but in the meantime … talk amongest yourselves.
author and books and covers and design and marketing and publishing and websites of note Sue Campbell on 15 Jun 2009
A couple of weeks back wrote about a new online promotion resource for authors called Filedby.com. At the time they advertised that they would allow “contributors” to also create a page to showcase their works. I created a page for myself, but found I could not add the books on which I had contributed design [...]
new work and writing Sue Campbell on 12 Jun 2009
I’m back! I made it to 26,483 words. But if Steven King is to be believed, 10% of them will have to go. On rereading some of the new stuff, I already see places where I need to rewrite — do much more showing, and much less telling. I keep reminding myself that it is [...]

Today I am 433 words into my third 3,000 word chunk. Though I got a slow start I’m pleased with how it’s going. I hope I can keep up the pace, with adding at least another 1,000 words a day until the first draft is done. I have just under 24,000 now and I had [...]

Some progress anyhow. I’ve mostly finished the plot. And I’ve added about 3500 words. Mostly good words too. I hope! So it goes. More work to do.

My daughter left me this motivator on my desktop this morning. She’s so funny. Off to the airport to send her home and back here to write my tush off. Click on the thumbnail to read her message.
By the way the software you’re looking at here is called Scrivener (for Mac only, sorry). It is [...]

My (lack of) writing progress. Well… the first full day of my writing retreat was pretty much a bust. There was a houseful of people and that wasn’t planned. The air conditioning broke down, and a new one was installed, which took all day. (It’s Las Vegas. AC is not optional.) And the cleaning crew [...]
poetry and publishing and writing Sue Campbell on 03 Jun 2009
I literally just got the acceptance email. OK, for no money, but still. I had my poem “Clean Sweep” selected to run in the November issue of The Shine Journal! Oh wait, it says $5. Not only am I published, but I’m getting paid!
Woot! That’s a good way to start my writing vacation. [...]
dreaming and writing Sue Campbell on 03 Jun 2009
This may be crazy, but I’m doing it anyway. Some of my friends know that I’ve been working on a young adult novel—off and on—but more off than on. Unfortunately. So, I am taking a week off from my designing duties to just write. A novel in a week? (Nanowriweek.) Well, no. I’m not that [...]
bookcover and bookcovers and case studies and covers and design and new work and publishing Sue Campbell on 03 Jun 2009
Number 2! The author and I had chosen number 2 before our little poll went up. (Not that my choice has anything to do with it!) It’s great to see that the vast majority of the commentors agreed with us. I’m quite happy with this sunny, funny, and cute cover. And Judy is excited too. [...]
