Whew!  Busy busy week!  Let’s catch up!

So what have I done the last week(s)?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Is in it’s final edit!  I’m re-reading and rechecking the story one last time, then get it ready for e-pub!  I’m very pumped on this, so a few more weeks!
  • Way With Worlds: The next book is in my editor’s hands!
  • Other: Nothing overly big except some housework – gotta do a few repairs.

What’s next?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Keep at it.  I hope to get it all into book format, but I’m not 100% sure how that’ll go with the holiday.  Right now it’s about 40% chance it’s out end of November, 60% chance first week of December.
  • Way With Worlds: Waiting on my editor – and starting the next book!  Yes, remember it’s a two-part series on Organizations!
  • General Stuff: I am working on some home repairs, so not sure what that’ll do to my schedule.
  • Other: Trying to get to new Sanctum Stuff, I have a bunch of ideas I need to do!  So let’s hope I can get things done.

I’ve decided to keep these updates going because it DOES help and it DOES keep me honest.

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:  I will be through chapter 11 (of 15) today, so it’s getting there.  The big haul is this week is to get done by next Tuesday or Wednesday.  I think I can manage this, but it’s going to be a challenge (I might not be done to Thursday).
  • Way With Worlds: Meandering along of course.  I plan to try to jump ahead next week as I’ll have some downtime.
  • Other: I spoke at Kraken-Con!  Sadly, the last one but it went great.
  • Seventh Sanctum: I haven’t made any updates lately as things got busy – but behind the scenes I’ve been plotting out some new technology to improve it.  The current goal in 2019 is to rewrite it entirely over the year to build a solid technical foundation and allow other options.  Meanwhile, I gotta produce some new stuff . . .

What am I going to do this week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Editing.
  • Way With Worlds: Writing.

Yeah, not much to update.  So maybe I’ll cancel these updates and only post when needed.

Hello gang, here’s my latest update!

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:  I’m at the halfway point of my general edits, did my grammar edit on Chapter 1 and posted it for my  beta readers!  What I’m doing is using Grammarly for the final grammar edits before posting – it’s pricey, but worth it (some people I know use the cheaper program Hemingway).
  • Way With Worlds: Ended up not doing much so I gotta catch up.
  • Other: Did my library speaking – but also had more unexpected stuff to deal with.  Honestly, I need a vacation . . . to catch up.

What am I going to do this week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: I want to get beyond the halfway point and catch up on grammar edits so I can post for my readers.  I’ll probably split time so I can catch up.
  • Way With Worlds: Catching up of course!
  • Other: I’m going to be on the lookout for any interruptions here, needless to say.
