Hello!  Feeling mostly better, if a bit behind, but definitely back on track.

That illness finally stopped kicking my butt.  I figured out that many people at work were sick, so it wasn’t that I wasn’t getting better, but my body kept fighting off new invaders.  So I worked from home a bit and it helped.

This is important – if you can work from home stay home if sick AND if everyone else is.

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:  Past the halfway point and on a tear.  My goal now is to finish the technical editing run in mid-October, then do a very serious read-through and integrate any prereader feedback.  November looks good (but I gotta get to the cover)
  • Way With Worlds: Not much I’m afraid.
  • Other: Nothing that stands out this week except I feel better!

What am I going to do this week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Keep editing!  I want to get through 1-2 chapters.
  • Way With Worlds: I am going to get back on track this week, with a target for, sadly, probably November as well.  The first book will be on Organizations in general, the second on specifics.
  • Other: An easier week hopefully!  Also I’d like to do more blogging.

Hello gang, here’s my latest update!  I got sick this week, so it was pretty awful.

Honestly, it’s like the crap of August got a spinoff series.

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:  Still just about at the halfway point of edits, but I’m plowing through the previous chapters using Grammarly as mentioned.  That tool is amazing and it’s given me another editing pass.
  • Way With Worlds: I did not catch up.  Sorry.
  • Other: Sitting around feeling miserable.

What am I going to do this week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Finish grammar edits, get beyond the halfway point, and keep at it.  I think I can get mostly through it this month.
  • Way With Worlds: I’m not gonna catch up at this rate, if I keep having interruptions.  My goal was to get the next book out next month, but I think I’ll have to settle for November.  However, if I work on it I think I can get to a regular pace as I want to keep these coming out – I have a lot planned.
  • Other: I’d like to feel better, so let’s aim for that.

Here’s the latest.  And would you believe it’s still busy.  A lot of August was overloaded.

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:  Editing of course.  I have yet to get it up for pre-readers, but plan to this week.  It’s going quite well overall – but probably updates are gonna get a bit boring for awhile.
  • Way With Worlds: Keeping up on the Organization book.  Right now my guess is that one is out in October.  Again this is a side thing to the novel, but it is a good relaxer.
  • Seventh Sanctum: I’ve updated The Nexus with a change.  Instead of linking to other generators, I liked to assorted creative resources, including other generator sites.
  • Other: My car died so I had to get a new one.  Took a bit of time.

What am I going to do this week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: It’s gonna be editing and more editing.  And I’ll post chapters for pre-readers.  I also plan to use Grammarly to help me out – I hear its spectacular.
  • Way With Worlds: More writing (I’m seeing a trend here)
  • Other: I’m speaking on self-publishing this weekend – if you’re in the Bay Area let me know.  I also hope to do some Sanctum stuff.
