SPFBO11 has begun and Physical Magic is one of the lucky 300! There's two books in the series already and I'm busy writing the third, so it's a great time to start reading!

Worked more on the year end finances for Space Wizard, and always looking to improve and automate it, especially as I sign more authors! Also did some end of year cleaning, and added 1115 words to chapter 5 of the new Shifting Lands book.

Verne and Doyle ask why they are being disturbed this #caturday
Doyle, a white and tan cat, and Verne, a black and gray cat, snuggle together on a blankie. Verne is looking accusingly at the camera.

Got a little writing done yesterday, and added another 1150 words today on the new Shifting Lands book.
I also got a good start on the year end finances for Space Wizard, which will be a multi-day process.

Happy New Year's Eve everyone!
No writing today, as we did some serious winter cleaning on closets, clothes drawers, and even hung some stained glass that has been sitting in a chest for about 15 years...
Just about to prepare our traditional fondue and play Feast for Odin!

Today's winter cleaning was getting rid of books we no longer wanted, which went fairly quickly. Wrote about 1300 words, split between the new Shifting Lands book and trying my hand at graphic novel writing for the first time.

Finished up chapter 3 and started on chapter 4 today, adding about 1350 words today. We also cleaned out the tea shelf. We, ah, have a lot of tea.
#amediting #amwriting
An entire kitchen counter filled with tea bags. They are in all shapes and sizes, mostly black tea, but with a mix of chai, rooibos, and herbal. The bags occupy about eight feet of courter space.
