As I’ve occasionally intimated, I have been dabbling in music of various sorts for quite a few years. Recently I picked up the habit again, making mostly trance-influenced stuff. This evening, I took the leap and made a MySpace profile for a couple of my songs, since they get the joy of providing bandwidth and…

Every now and then, I get the urge to draw, and so for better or worse, this is my latest attempt. Enjoy. (Click to make it larger!) (c)2006 Nathaniel Simpson

I finished the rough draft of my aforementiond second novel a few hours ago. 71,049 words. Knowing me, it will grow somewhat in revision, but hopefully not too much! Like last year’s novel, this wrapped up around the same time as the National Novel Writing Month, but has nothing to do with that contest, as…

It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted, so just thought I’d let everyone know what I’m up to. I’ve finally gotten back on the writing roll, pushing 45,000 words on my current writing project – a second novel. It’s a sci-fi novel, a bit cyber-punk maybe, with a lot of action. The basic…

Looks like one of my short stories, “The Final Casualty,” will be published in an upcoming edition of the UK horror mag Thirteen Magazine – volume 2, number 8. Not a major publication, but still the first time that I’ve gotten something in print, so I’m pretty happy!

So lately I’ve been really busy. Stuff on my plate: Been working on my new novel. It’s at ~20,000 words now. If there’s any interest, I can post a teaser chapter for you. Let me know. Doing another editing pass at Alice – the final one, I hope. There are a few grammar errors in…

Okay, it’s an hour later than I really intended to have it posted. BUT! It’s up. Alice can be officially considered my first novel. It finished up at roughly 51,849 words, which is something like 205 pages of doublespaced Courier 12pt. That makes it a small novel.;-) It’s also a first – the story idea…
