The Snowy Raven Apocalypse Has Been Pushed Back

Hi every one. I have some mild updates for this week. Throughout the week I have been bouncing around a lot of projects trying to get stuff done with the time allowed. So its bit scattered brained but here are the updates.

First let’s start with the next new short story that was going be up next for publication. Once Upon a Time in Boston, the snowy apocalyptic tale with ravens, will most likely not be published any time soon. As I dig further into the reviews I got on the tale, one thing has become clear. Despite the fact people are enjoying it, the world and how it works is becoming confusing as readers get into the heart of the story. It will need more reworking than I originally first thought and getting this into a perfect shape will take a lot more time as the story requires more expansion. So I will dig up a shorter or just simpler story to edit, while I am figuring out how to expand Once Upon a Time in Boston. What that short story will be, I don’t know yet. But there’s plenty of shorts on my computer to choose from, so there will be something coming to publication sooner than Once Upon a Time in Boston. I guarantee it.

Also there’s another project that has been on the editing block a lot time, and I mean a long time. Finding Elodie was a large project I started editing half way through Community College. I got ten chapters properly edited before transferring to a University and then life became really busy and the whole project was put on hold for years. Then in the last year I returned to it and I only managed to edit a couple chapters. And it has been a bit difficult. It’s hard to jump into the middle of a project after years of abandonment, to polish it to perfection and match the tone of the first half of the novel. It’s also hard to find plot holes when I don’t remember every plot aspect of something I wrote over ten years ago, and haven’t work on in seven. I think to do it properly I would have to restart the revision process from the very beginning of the story all over again. So am just going to let that project sit on desktop until I am ready to tackle something so big. I am not giving up on it by any means. It’s is a scifi tale worth getting out there. I just feel that there is more important stuff to focus on at the moment. Right now, my goal is to revise the longer projects currently on Kindle and work on short projects. When that is done I will return to the large projects again.

Lastly, I am working on pulling together another short story anthology. This one is eight more short stories and will be called Nightmares & Dragonflies. I’m hoping to get out next week. Also it will probably be the last anthology for a very long time. All but one of my shorts have been included in these collections released in the last couple years. So it will be a while until there is enough new material for a new collection

And that is all I have for this week. I know it’s not exciting, but that is what is going on. Have a good week everyone! I hope to have some fun stuff to share soon.

P.S. The last part of the audio version of Alice: Stone’s Story is posted. I know no one is listening to them and they are super rough. But I’m still sharing these editing by products until I can find a proper use for the audio content. Maybe someone will find them interesting for the time being.
