So ... Now What? · 8:53pm Nov 2nd, 2016
First things first: In case you missed it—which I've tried my hardest to prevent—Colony is now available for pre-order and will release on November 11th! It's here, it's ready to be read, and it is awesome.
Which, since Colony has been the end-all-be-all of my last few months, begs the question: What now? After all, Colony is done, it's coming out ... so now what? What's next?
That's right, it's time for a general roadmap post. Because my work isn't stopping now that Colony is done. No, I took a few days to relax and celebrate the completion of another book, but I can't rest on my laurels, no matter how tempting that may sound. I need to set some goals, and them keep working towards them.
Of course, some goals work better when those around you know that you're working towards them. Which is part of the reason for this post. It's a nice little bit of motivation in the back of my head if I know that my audience has already been told "I'm working on this."
But that little extra motivational boost isn't the only reason. I also want you guys to know what's coming down the pipe! What you can look forward to. The last thing I want is for one of my long-time readers to know that Colony is about to come out but have nothing else to set in their mind to look forward to.
Hence this post. The roadmap. What I'm up to, and what's coming in the next few weeks and then months.

Looks like we have quite a bit to look forward to.

Looks like it. And good timing too, at least for me.
Oh yessssss. Good to know us fanfic readers aren't getting shafted, great to know I have something to look forward to in the years to come. Oh how you spoil us Max!
Can't wait to buy Colony as well. I loved what I read of the prologue. Very Deus: Ex like.
And XCOM! Friggin' love XCOM! When I get my computer I have to remember to buy them. Only have EW for PS3...

A writer that's not writing anything isn't a writer.
Must ... keep ... typing!

Gotta keep that constant, steady flow going!

Nope, I haven't forgotten you guys at all. I said I'd finish The Dusk Guard Saga, and I mean it, even if it takes until 2025 (which at the current rate, it might!)!
And you don't have to wait until the 11th to buy Colony! Pre-order is a thing!
Hahaha, well when you get a copy, you'll have to see if I've figured out how to share those input pools yet!
(On a minor note, while I appreciate your enthusiasm for X-COM, please censor your swear, I try to keep it family-friendly in here).

Oh I know you'll keep the words flowing.
Le'ts see what that mind of yours will bring us all for 2034.

Good to see someone stick with a lengthy epic. Been burned by many a fanfic that suddenly die out of nowhere.
No problem, my bad. I try not to let my sailors mouth get into my writing but I forget every now and then.

I think the only worry at this point is that I'll die out of nowhere (which reminds me, I really need to write up an "In case of death, here's all the endings, etc, to my stuff" file just in case).
Thanks for editing that!
