It might be moving day. Moving into the new office, that is. Picture me standing here, doing the pee-pee dance of shameless excitement. This is good news; once I’m settled again, things can get back to some semblance of normal, as far as the writing goes. In other news, send good thoughts Mr. Silver’s way. He has an interview tomorrow for a job he’s actually interested in. I’m crossing everything. Except maybe my eyes. I kinda need those. Have a great Monday!

Hi, everybody! The family finally let me slow down long enough to wrap up this month’s giveaway. *drumroll* October’s Season Pass winner was… Kim Bryson! Kim will receive each Fantasy Heights Season Two episode as they’re released. If you’d like another crack at a season pass, we’ve decided to do the same giveaway next month (all my creative braincells were used up today, trying to figure out how to keep four energetic piranh… er, kittens, out of the basement). Enter next month’s giveaway on the Giveaway page. ETA: Ooops, I was a bit hasty with that publish button! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who entered October’s giveaway.… Read More
Continue ReadingNew Ebooks Available
I probably should have mentioned these in the last post, but I’m in a rush, sorry. To create sample files for the formatting gig, I used some of my favorite books. These are available in a lot of places for free, but they’re never formatted like a normal person would do it. (No offence, but who likes reading fiction with huge gaps between the paragraphs, and no indents? Honestly.) The EPUB and MOBI versions are available on megsilver.com for free download: [wpdm_file id=28] [wpdm_file id=29] Pride And Prejudice [wpdm_file id=31] [wpdm_file id=30] Other titles I plan to make available include: The first five (public domain) volumes of Edgar Rice Burrough’s… Read More

New Stuff
Another tutorial went up this morning! How To Nuke A Document Without Losing Italics This one used to be on Smashwords under my editing name, but since I can’t be arsed to promote it, I figured what the heck — it’s posted here now, for free. It still needs prettying up, but the process works all the same. Visit the tutorials page. Also, I’ll point out the DIY section on the site’s Contact page. This page contains links to all sorts of things, like the review request form, the beta-team signup form, &c. Oh! If you haven’t already, today’s the last day to sign up for October’s giveaway! Don’t miss… Read More

Not much to report, here. Toiling on many projects, trying to help get the new office finished, trying to avoid stealth cat attacks… Have I mentioned that my daughter changed Scaramouche’s nickname from Moose to Moose-ifer? It fits. Office: Catpile: No, that’s not the mama cat lounging in the foreground. That would be Mandango, who is more than half the size of his mother at five weeks. Behold this rare, peaceful moment.

Four days left… Enter while you can!
Continue ReadingHello Kitty
Kitten update: All four kittens are fat, healthy, and well into their ‘attack anything that moves — and then anything that doesn’t move’ phase. This coincides with the CLIMB ALL OF THE THINGS phase. My legs are covered in tiny puncture marks. As is the dog. The husband. All three kids, and our one huge tomcat (Booger) who has decided the swarmlings are not, in fact, minions of satan, as was his initial conclusion. He’s cool with them working him over until one of them chews an ear. Then his sense of humor takes a powder. In other news, the new office is at about 70%. One kid is sick, another… Read More

We just — as in half an hour ago — returned from bringing home the rest of Mr. Silver’s things. More later =)

You know that one room in your house? The one that’s going to be your office “someday”? Right. Yes, we all have that room. The one where you look at all that lovely, open, unused space over the years, and you think “today is not that day” so everything accumulates in that space like sediment in a delta? “Someday” you’ll clean it out of there. Well… today is that “someday”. Not because you’re getting organized or anything awesome like that. No, today is that day because Mr. Silver needs to get started on the flooring in there. God help me, I have probably a thousand-some books to sort through. And… Read More

Awesome weekend at the Silver house: quickie kitchen remodel almost done. We went to see Annabelle, which I really liked, even if it did scare the crap out of me. Kitten update: We are mobile. We have learned to hiss, spit, make Halloween-cat back arches at the dog, who gets all scared and offended by the whole thing. We have also learned to fight with our brother and sisters, and to stick our paws in mama-cat’s face until we get all the attention. Today I have to close off from the world to steal back my work hours, so things might be a bit quiet in the front-of-the-house this week.… Read More
