“To be a writer is to sit down at one’s desk in the chill portion of every day, and to write; not waiting for the little jet of the blue flame of genius to start from the breastbone—just plain going at it.”

Fenrisúlfr, Hati & Sköll

According to the lore regarding Ragnarök there are two wolves, named Hati and Sköll, who chase the moon and sun.
Hati will catch and devour the moon, Sköll will catch and devour the sun and all the stars will cease to shine. The earth will shatter and shake, mountains will come crashing down and this will enable Fenrisúlfr to break free of his chains, signalling the beginning of Ragnarök!

Here is an earnings report summary put together by Hugh Howey, author of the Wool series.

I’ve read elsewhere that the best place to be is a traditionally published author who goes indie, but I still think this is interesting.

The lowdown: indie author’s make more money even if trad pubs sell more books.

So, learn something new everyday…

There are “browse categories” you can be in with keywords. Why is this important? Because people are more likely to see you if you’re at the top of a category. Anyway, just found the list:

Ratösk - the squirrel who ran up and down Yggdrasil, trying to spread gossip about Nidhoggr and Hræsvelgr to each other to keep the conflict between them alive.

This gave me a good laugh :D

This pretty much describes my Ratatoskr. (But seriously, is this squirrel suicidal?)
