It's November--there's a chill in the air and the scent of pumpkin spice seems to be everywhere.
It's also National Novel Writing Month--the annual online fiction-writing marathon in which people all around the world try to write 50,000 words during this month. Yes, 50,000!
​It can be a wild ride if you want to give it a try. Back in 2008 I wrote a mish mash of 50,000 unusable words. I couldn't make that into an actual novel, but I did have fun and I made a very good friend who I am still in touch with today. I know several people who can and do reliably write that much every November. More power to them!
You can also join in and do some writing for fun without worrying about how many words you ultimately come up with. There's even a young writer program for kids.
For those of you who are writing--good luck!

I recently decided to cancel my Facebook page. So that will be happening soon. I don't use it much anymore. The Thinking Ink Press Facebook page will still be there. I'm on Twitter, and of course here at my author site.

Crowdfunding for my small press

For those of you who don't know, I'm one of the founders of Thinking Ink Press. We're small: we publish one or two books a year. 
Recently, I ran a Kickstarter campaign for a funny sci fi book by a new author that we're planning to publish. It went really well, so we're set to move forward with publishing The Hereafter Bytes by Vincent Scott. 
It was a bit of a wild ride since we launched the second week in March, but supporters came through and backed the campaign beyond my expectations. Thanks again to everyone who backed or supported this campaign by spreading the word!
If you're interested in learning more about my crowdfunding exprerience, you can check out my guest post On Crowdfunding in Publishing at Armed with a Book.
