This weekend I finished up editing the beta version of two
Halloween stories. The first is “Dead and in Working Order” which features
mummies. The second is “Masonic Werewolves” which might need a bit more
tweaking. I am hoping to have the final tweaks on this story completed in the
next few days. I also just sent out the mailing list email for the month, so
that will hopefully work well. The only thing I haven’t had much luck on lately
is writing my main novel, but that will hopefully change this week. I am hoping
to knock out three chapters of the main novel this week.
The only other downside is that my audio book bundle of Vampire
Caving 1 – 3 hit a snag that I thought might happen. Apparently for every
bundle you need a unique intro/conclusion. Hopefully I can get that fixed up
and ran through extremely quickly. I’ll email ACX once that’s in to see if I
can get any kind of rush on that. The hope is to give out Audio Codes on that
September 24th. Normally it takes two weeks to go through audio
review, so that’s an extremely tight timeline.
Another interesting recent change is that I’ve been using my
Evernote to capture more and more random writing advice tid-bits. The hope is
to build up a big reserve, then sort it into a style where it will be easily accessible.
I also want to start “book reviews” in my Evernote that list what I
liked/disliked about various books. The hope is to emulate the good stuff and edit
out any of the bad stuff in my writing. With luck, my writing will get better
and better, or at least more even. Onto a brand new week, with Halloween around
the corner!
