The past couple months have been pretty interesting. And by “interesting” I mean “busy”. You might want to invest in coffee futures because the amount I’m consuming on a daily hourly basis is nuts. That said, here’s what’s up*:
1) Edits to Book #1: Developmental and Line Edits for Book #1 in The Series are off and away. Next up are Copy Edits which, as I understand it, involves a lot of Oxford Commas, a Princeton Exclamation Points, and/or George Mason Semi-Colons.
Note to Self: Figure out what those actually are.
2) New Words to Book #2: I have a bet with my editor that if I can get her the beta’d first draft of Book #2 in The Series by the summer, she’ll send me a pie. So yeah, lots of words cranking at the moment. The draft is currently sitting at over 50k, which means a mere 40k more to go. The math, therefore, is something like this: 90k word target / X days = MANY WORDS.
Again, invest in coffee futures.
3) New Site: Welcome to the new website. Feel free to click around the menu at the top of the screen. The Books and News tabs will be populated when stuff actually happens. The Forum has some starter topics for those who want to debate DC vs. Marvel, Carniolan bees vs. Italian bees, Romance vs. Steampunk, etc. I’ve tried to keep the site minimalistic, but if something smells funny or simply doesn’t work, just let me know.
4) Blogger: This site is powered by WordPress, but I’ve synced my previous blog to it. At least, I think I did. The jury is still out on the success of the migration. For the handful that subscribed to that blog, I’ll continue to populate it in the hopes that it bounces off of this one. For those that want to subscribe here, the “Subscribe” button is to the right. Again, aiming for simplicity here.
Note: I had to use WP today because Blogger was having issues. Go figure.
Anyway, that’s about it. Lots of new stuff going on, but it’s all good. You can’t ask much more from life, can you?
