Writerly updates

So, the publishing year is closed for me with 5 novels and 15 other – mostly shorter – books under the Unicorn Productions umbrella with another pen-name writing contemporary fiction in English and the Italian one. I uploaded more (cheaper) titles on Kindle as well, and even managed to duplicate one, yikes! Blame it on the first cold of winter or life getting in the way (DayJob sucks and my mum had health problems – solved now).

Anyhow, I  even discovered I uploaded the Italian novel on Smashwords with the WRONG ENDING when I checked the Kindle version… luckily I had had only sample downloads and even if it had gone through the Premium Catalog, I doubt I have sold any copies yet – the Italians are still catching up with the e-book thing, in spite of the opening of Kindle Italia.

I'm falling behind with SKYBAND, but when I draw I have too much time to think – which is very good if you're in creative mood, not so good if you're on the down curve of a depression. So I'd rather keep my mind busy with reading, editing and writing. And no, the Holidays are NOT my favorite time of the year. Sorry, people.

Still, I managed to discover wrongly numbered pages in Chapter 10 of SKYBAND, which meant some readjusting of frames and dialog to fit the 22pages format. I was happier when I didn't care about page numbers and improvised even the comics and graphic novels – sometimes not finishing them, sometimes ending with odd page numbers, sometimes having to find "fillers" for the printed version!

In spite of depression, I did find a few more happiness to share, so I have another couple of months covered. And I'm struggling with backgrounds on SKYBAND, and have to draw many covers anyway – meaning, my dear one reader, that I will finish SKYBAND but probably won't do the next. But then, you never know. I tend to change my mind a lot with drawing – because it's not a talent that comes natural like writing to me, more of a passion, and passions come and go. Right?

Ahem, well… wishing you a happy week!

Oh, and another good news: the map-maker has been spared as he finally did the map for Earth. So check it on the maps page. I also made the final trailer with the decent map!
