Wordcount Wednesday

John W. Otte July 2, 2014 July 2, 2014Wordcount Wednesday, Writing GenShip 0

Well, this week was better. I was able to chisel out a little more writing time and had some productive sessions. As of right now, the GenShip story is at 15,174 words, meaning I added 5,926 words to it over the past week. Good, but not full speed. I really…

If You Want to Make God Laugh…

John W. Otte July 2, 2014 July 1, 2014Books, Musings, Story, Writing Christy Awards, Numb, Steve Laube 2

So last month, I spent a Monday night seated in front of my computer. My wife would tell you that this, in and of itself, is not unusual. But that particular night, I was watching the liveblog for the Christy Awards. As some of you may know, my book, Numb,…

Kynetic: On Target is Live!

Today’s the big day! Kynetic: On Target is now available exclusively through Amazon. Go grab a copy (or download a copy or however you put it) today! Sometimes you’re the hunter. Sometimes you’re the target… The amateur superhero Kynetic knows what she wants: her own vigilante license from the government…

John W. Otte June 25, 2014 June 25, 2014Wordcount Wednesday, Writing GenShip, wordcount 1

Well, I had good intentions. I really do want to try to pound out a lot of words each week, but in this case, I think I’m proceeding cautiously to get the lay of the land. I really do like what I’m seeing. I’m having fun. I’m just doing it…

So, yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a Wordcount Wednesday report. So here’s what’s been going on: Failstate: Nemesis I’ve been working on the official edit for the third Failstate book, Failstate: Nemesis. Right now, we’re about two-thirds to three-quarters of the way through the manuscript. It’s been…

Wordcount Wednesday

John W. Otte May 7, 2014 May 7, 2014Wordcount Wednesday, Writing 0

Not much to report this week. I’ve been working on a new story project for the last week or so using Randy Ingermanson’s genius Snowflake Method. Seriously. This thing rocks. All of my published novels were put together using the Snowflake Method. But there are no numbers to report. Maybe…

This past week has been fun! I’ve really enjoyed having Numb on the Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy Blog Tour. I appreciated what everyone had to say. Some of it was very humbling. And other parts of it was…well, very humbling but in a different and not-nearly-as-fun way. I got…

Let’s Cast Numb!

John W. Otte April 23, 2014 April 22, 2014Books, Movies, Writing casting, CSFF Blog Tour, movie, Numb 4

On the first day of the blog tour, Carol Gehringer had this to say about Numb: Numb is rich in plot development with twists and turns. The story starts slowly but quickly picked up the pace as Crusader and Isolda are on the run. One could easily see this as…

The Origin of Numb’s Cover

John W. Otte April 22, 2014 April 23, 2014Books, Science Fiction, Writing cover, CSFF Blog Tour, Numb 3

Yesterday, I told you the story of where the idea for Numb came from. Today, I thought I’d touch on another part of Numb‘s story, namely the cover. People often comment on how cool the cover is, and I have to agree. I’ve been very blessed with all of my…

Numb’s Origin Story

John W. Otte April 21, 2014 April 19, 2014Books, Christianity, Science Fiction, Writing CSFF Blog Tour, Numb, writing 9

Wow. I had to do some digging to find this, but it feels kind of good to bring it back… Every month, a group of bloggers gets together to post reviews and thoughts on a Christian science fiction and fantasy book. I used to participate in these tours a lot…
