Regular readers know I’m both fiercely commited and fickle at the same time. In the moment, what I’m working on is the most important thing in the world, but when the moment passes, I’m easily pulled in random directions. This bizarre combination of focus and indecision has served me well as a pundit and columnist, [...]
Since I don’t plan on working on any nonfiction this month…
Also, check out my progress report.
I’m gearing up for NaNoWriMo, so don’t expect much in the way of updates for the next month or so. I’m going to be going full out on fiction, trying to write 50,000 words in 30 days.

I noticed something weird recently regarding how I use my 6700, a carryover from when I used the Treo. I’m so concerned about the optimal use of my time that a lot of things never get done at all.

It’s no secret that I’ve long been fond of Baen Books and what they’ve been doing for electronic publishing.
