The Daniel Craig method of writing fiction. You're welcome, Internet.

Yesterday, I sent Haunted Stuff off to my editor with a gentle shove. While I wait for line edits, I'm kicking around some new ideas and reminding myself how to write fiction again. This graphic I made years ago may help a tiny bit -- if I can get past his abs. And legs. And lovely blue eyes.

Wordle weasels

It looks pretty sazzy, eh? Below are the highlights of my upcoming book, Haunted Stuff, using the web-based program Wordle. I'm using the program to catch the weasels in the book: the words that are overused, extraneous, or make me wonder how it wiggled in there in the first place.

Quite a pickle: What to leave in and what to take out

There are worse problems to have. The blog has been essentially dark (I apologize) as I write the new book and now that I'm in the last round of edits before it heads off to line edits, I'm faced with a conundrum: do I add in another great story and take one out before its August 1 deadline so that I don't go over wordcount? Or put the story on the website to flesh it out a little more? Hmm.

What say you, Internet? MOAR haunted goodies on the website or keep them for yourself in the book?
