Well, Not Well
A collection of annoying health issues have been slowing me down, requiring me to spend time caring for myself and my wife instead of getting work done. Even so, progress continues.
Eric Ashley and I have completed Verse a Tile and begun the "final" read-through edit. I call it final, because at this point he and I will still be consulting on changes, looking for inconsistencies and story problems, and agreeing on the text. It then moves to the stage in which I am formatting the text for e-publication, and during that process I will undoubtedly find a few typos that got past us, and fix them--although if I find something major I might consult him. For example, I'm still working on character sheets for Multiverser: The Thirteenth Story, and I just realized that in one scene he had Tomiko Takano do an acrobatic move she had never learned, and I had to decide how to change the text--whether to make this something she abruptly attempted in the middle of combat and succeeded, replace it with something she can do well, or change it to an inconsequential failure. (I did the second.)
While I'm on the subject of the novels, I continue to tell Tommy's story, along with those of Derek Brown and Brian "Barrelmaster" Cooper, in Con Version chapters 34 through 42, with stories winding through medieval Switzerland, spooky New Orleans, and a future wilderness. I'm also still posting teachings on the Gospel According to Mark at the Christian Gamers Guild Chaplain's Bible Study, reaching 12:4 through 15. I've continued posting quotes from the books daily to Facebook, Instagram, and Patreon, with select ones posted to the Bible study, including Quotes ##121, 122, 123, 124 and Quotes ##125, 126, 127 , all of which came this time from Faith and Gaming Expanded Edition .
Also appearing is RPG-ology #80: Words , about jargon, another recovered piece from the old Game Ideas Unlimited series. I have continued work on those, extending that series and its sister Faith in Play with drafts through November and preparing to write the December entries.
My behind-the-scenes work also includes nearing the end of the setup for An Analytical Commentary on The Book of First Corinthians, with a significant issue I'm going to have to discuss with the publisher once I do reach the end.
I have tentatively named the next novel When Verse Comes to Versed, but have not gotten any feedback on it from Eric, and thus it remains tentative. I've answered a couple e-mails about time travel movies.
That might not be everything, but it's all I can at this point identify, and I have work ahead tonight despite the late hour, so I'm going to thank you for your encouragement and support, and close here.

The Ides of Mark
Goodreads was nagging me, as a Goodreads author, to start another web log--I say another, because I already have the mark Joseph "young" web log http://www.mjyoung.net/weblog/ where I dabble eclectica
