Five more chapters gone through, several with larger changes than I realised, and have half a dozen of the more seriously reworked in this pass ones I want to read again for flow, and a handful of little things to insert here and there in the "needs a bit more set-up in chapter 14 if I want this particular secondary character to make this decision in the denouement" sort of direction that I hope will be straightforward enough. Also, I haven't done the through pass on the short different-POV epilogue, because that is a lot of fun and I may as well keep it until the very end of this pass, to serve as a motivator.  With luck I will get this draft done in one more night, if not, then two will definitely do it.
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

If it wasn't for a 24 hour flight delay I wouldn't have gotten anything done since last Tuesday. 3010 words. Family clashing with RL, but I wouldn't trade the family time for anything else in the world. Also my revisions/edits came in from the editor for Book I, so now it begins with the old book and writing the new book. Thank goodness I'm half way into the second.

Unrelated, I attended a talk and book signing by Jack Gantos, the 2013 Newbery Award winner at Arizona State's Piper Writing House. He is freaking awesome and awe inspiring. Thus the 3AM to 5AM writing session. Nothing new written this AM but letter off to editor on titles, assignment for my online mediabistro.com classposted, and scribbled notes for my blog on the Jack Gantos talk. He's with Farrar, Straus & Giroux - Macmillan BTW, the home of "A Wrinkle in Time" and my forever and ever favorite pub house.

Keep after it Xerjester.  Keep cranking on those books.  You've got one in the box ready to go.  Now its time for #2.

Doing planning for another series which might be connected to the series I'm working on now. Rather excited. Especially since the hierarchy of one of the things has come together and I have the general plot line for the story. :)

Last week I finally got done with the first draft of Lady Raven and sent it on to my beta readers.

Now it's time to get my research & planning in gear for my next urban fantasy series, Candlelight - the first book of the Carver & McCain mysteries.

I really haven't been on here in a while!

I'm sending out the first two chapters of my second Daniel Quinn novel, Antagonize, to beta readers this week. I'm trying somethign new where I send them two chapters every week for the next couple of months.

The cover art is done and looks amazing. I'll be revealing that on my blog and website January 3rd.
