Update: Well, That Was a Weekend

All right, so, it’s certainly something, driving back and forth to Archon each day. The pros: sleep in own bed, pet own puppies, etc. Cons: gosh, look at all this exciting road construction. Whoa, you mean you’re totally closing highway 67 each night? That’s pretty dramatic, as road construction goes.

They’re adding roundabouts. Don’t ask me. The intersection seemed fine to me. They’re widening the giant interstate, which, fine, I’m sure that will be nice, eventually, but right now I’m just detouring around the biggest problem area and giving the many and changeable barriers and cones and whatever else a complete miss. It’s fine, except if you happen to get stuck doing the giant detour when 67 is totally closed at night.

MEANWHILE

Sure, Archon was nice, as one expect. I did posts assoociated with most oof my Archon panels over the weekend, soo scroll back to check oout those posts. The one on sentences is VERY long.

I did not attend that many things because, see above, driving back and forth. Fortunately –>

FINISHED

Mostly finished; meaning I sent SEKARAN to final proofreaders this past Friday, woo-hoo! This does not mean I’m totally one hundred percent finished, because Anna S. got into the weeds and worked out a Complete Tuyo Timeline of Everything, and I will be doing a final sweep through the manuscript too (I hope) make sure that everything is totally consistent all the way through. I might put part of, or even all of, this timeline on the series page, just so readers can refer to it if they feel like it.

MEANWHILE

My laptop has taken this opportunity to feel iffy about the letter “o” and all the symbols above the o, such as the 9 and the ( ) and who knows whether this will be repairable, so I suspect a new laptop will be in my future. Thank heaven it picked now to do this rather than a month ago. Still pretty darn inconvenient, though. The problem is inconsistent and intermittent, and I’m using copy-paste to insert the letter o as necessary, which is obviously not going to work as a long-term solution.

Ah, technology, so whimsical!

SO

This coming week: totally finishing Sekaran. I’ve scheduled a chapter to go live at my Patreon tomorrow. That will be the last single chapter The whole thing will drop the 13th, probably, with the extra week being used to create the epub file and most especially cope with inserting the TABLES, which as I recall were intensely annoying last time I wanted to do it. I’m presenting the character list in a table, unless I can’t get it too work, so that I can so generations through the families. I think I’ll be presenting at least a truncated table of character ages as well.

Next up: Writing something else, including finishing the Hale story for my newsletter and/r writing a Halloween story, whichever.

Then picking a project to work on. And getting a new laptop so I can actually work on it!
