Update: Progress on many fronts

You know, my life would be simpler if I were trying to make progress on ONE front. Or maybe two. But here I am, lots going on, though I’m starting to see light at the end of some of the tunnels.

I think I did in fact make progress on ALL the fronts last week. Let me count them.

1) I finished reading through the 2nd Griffin Mage book, corrected a handful of formatting errors, corrected one egregious typo (griffin’s when it should have been griffins), and made the paperback file. So I loaded Book Two as a draft at KDP, which is fantastic. I should be setting it up for preorder and an epub file to drop over at my Patreon this week, or as soon as I have the final version of the ebook cover. The preorder will be the same as for Book 1, btw — November 4th. The new editions of all three books will go live at the same time.

2) I started reading through the 3rd Griffin Mage book for final formatting.

3) I wrote the next bit of “Midwinter,” which can go into my next newsletter, which I guess I’ll send out this week, probably. It’s close to 5000 words, but still does not bring us all the way to the really fun part. But then, I always knew it would take a while to get to the really fun part.

4) I continued with the ongoing process of proofing and correcting all the earlier Black Dog books. This is just slow because I’m doing so many other things at the same time.

AND

4) I have been more or less taking a break from Silver Circle because I’m waiting to hear back about Part II from the very earliest readers. I don’t want to do much with Part III until I’ve heard back about Part II, for reasons that are probably obvious. However, after finishing the next bit of “Midwinter,” I went ahead and started primary revision of SC: Part III because I do already know about some things that need to be revised, so onward with that.

So, lots going on, but at least it’s all going.

Also, I’m still appreciating not having to worry about jury duty, at least not for a while. If that second excuse request hadn’t gone through I would be in St Louis right this minute, finding the parking garage near the courthouse and preparing to lay out, as politely as possible, exhibit A, B, and C for why it’s not reasonable to force me to drive to St Louis to be on a jury.
