Echoes in the Ether VI

My dad and I are slowly working on his book, Smoke of the Fire. Only eight more chapters to edit. I made an editing pass on everything except the last ten chapters on my own, but I didn’t feel comfortable enough to do the last few chapters on my own because they are rough enough to actually need a rewrite. My father’s prose is quite different than mine, and I didn’t want to change it too much, so I was stuck there. Now that we can work on it together, I feel much better about making changes. I need to start work on a book cover for it. Perhaps I can make some progress in that area there this week as well.

Since my last post, I have added a little to my novelette, The Corvid’s Key. I should be working on that now, but I decided to write this post instead. As I’ve said before, writing these updates helps me keep my mind ordered and drives progress forward. If I’m not working on it, what would there be to post about? For example, I haven’t done a single thing with my audio recording equipment. I haven’t even had the opportunity to play with it, so that’s all there is to say about that. I will have to schedule some time to work on that project.

I have spent some time working on a few wood projects in my garage. I made these bookshelves to hang beside your easy chair and hold whatever book you’re currently reading or tablet you’re using to read. In my mind, this door is your escape from reality. I’m currently trying to make one in the shape of a Hobbit door. I’ll post pictures of it next time. I thought people might like these enough to buy a few of them. So far, no one has expressed any interest in them. What do you think? Oh, and click the link and buy a book! Recirculated Tales: A Mini-Anthology
