GOOD NEWS
Ever since I started dieting
I Lost 48 Ponds
So basically … kind of a news post. But not. More just a case of “Well, I really should say something, and there have been goings on lately …”
Well, the title really sums up my reaction. Waking up to find your story Double in views overnight is quite a feeling, especially considering how long I've been working on it!
Not just that, the story has had the same amount of comments as fixing the balance in a fraction of time! Seriously, this is a high thing for me.
So, you might have noticed I’ve been a bit quiet this week. Well, I’ve had good reasons. Because I’ve been hard at work editing away on Shadow of an Empire, editing page after page after page and getting it ready for its public appearance!
Okay so first the bad news, I deleted Origins of the Everfree. The whole story plot just wasn't coming together. So I actually hadn't published it so it was about how Apple bloom dared Scootaloo to spend the night in the Everfree Forest but she doesn't come back and the other CMC go to find her.
Now the good news! I'm redoing Origins of the Everfree! It's has a completely different storyline but it's working and coming together! I have to admit it's way better than the other one!
Time for a round of bad news/good news.
Bad news; Chapter 8 of Chrysalis' Paradise lost probably won't be up until end of this week, early next week depending on how little time I have for sleeping/pre-editing so that the actual editor has less work to do when he gets the full story and can tighten everything up.
Oh yeah. You’ve been waiting for this one. The moment has finally come.
Beta Reader invites for Jungle have just gone out.
That’s right. It’s here. It’s happening. We’re close baby. So very close. Jungle is almost upon us!
Which means that if you’ve really been holding out on reading Colony, now is your time. Grab a copy! Be ready when Jungle hits!
Hey there fimfiction fam!
It's been a little over a week since we last talked. I'm still writing for glee at the moment (And I'm on a serious writing kick for that fandom, y'all. I've written 38,361 words in stories for that fandom in a period of 11 days so I am for real slaying it) so I'm sorry if y'all thought this was an "I'm back" kinda post (I eventually will be, I promise).
Yes, I know, I’ve been quite silent this week. Don’t worry. It’s because I’ve been busy with Axtara!
The copy-edit for digital is almost done. Tomorrow I should be able to finalize it. At which point all I need for the digital release is the cover.
Thanks to my friend/follower Georg I called MY insurance this morning and told them about the giant number State Farm said I needed to pay. According to my agent I should simply ignore any correspondence from them. They are fishing and trying to intimidate me into paying. In fact they haven't even contacted my insurance on a final settlement even though the letter stated they did. I feel soooo much better and soooo relieved!
It's that time of year once again.
Okay, so it has been for a while now. This post is probably a little late to comment on the "arrival" of the season, seeing as Christmas Eve is tomorrow, and Christmas Day—Well, it comes right after Christmas Eve. That's kind of a given.
Sorry guys, but Being a Better Writer is going to be a little late this week. Wednesday, to be precise. Unless I get a score of luck later, but ...
Normally, even if I had a work shift on Monday and Tuesday (which I do) I'd still have Monday night to get the next BaBW post done ... or at least Saturday. But this last weekend I was really crunched for time (and will be this weekend as well), and tonight? Well, tonight ... I'm getting an MRI.
Okay, so the bad news is there’s no normal weekend post today.
But that’s because I’m hard at work on finishing the Jungle Alpha. There are only a couple of chapters left, and then I’ll make the final blitz pass on Monday to finish off any loose ends (ie areas that I fixed that were awaiting feedback that got it, I just had already moved on to another chapter, etc). Once that is done …
Well, I’ll start uploading chapters for Beta. Beta invites will go out.
