My project for the next year is a "Year of Standalone [Novels]."
To write 4 novels of at least 70,000 words in one year (365 days), I would have to write about 770 words a day.
I think that is doable for me.

I just finished writing the final words of "The Scarlet Jane Files," which leaves me feeling thankful, and a bit sad, at the same time.
I struggled so much to finish this series in the aftermath of the Rio Grande flood. It feels like I'm losing a part of myself by finishing it.

I'm closing in on the final chapters of the last SCARLET JANE book. I do think it's going to end up undergoing a title change due to the direction it's gone in, so it's more likely to be GOLEM GROUNDS now than DARK WATER, but you get me.
So close!
Will finish soon, I think!

I think – keyword: think – that I found the core of the story from my thesis novel from my MFA project.
We won’t start doing major writing work on our thesis until later on in the year, but I’m happy and I’m excited to have uncovered this detail.

The first BANISHED LEGEND book, with new chapter separations and revisions, is now being uploaded across the eBook networks.
The other four books are also being republished, but will not have these chapter structures (as of now). They will be updated in the next few weeks.

The other books will go up alongside them, but the planned updates to their part/chapter structures will follow in pieces, as I do each book individually.

Tried a new game (Conan: Exiles) and was pleased. It might be better with others, but I've been adventuring for a few hours and have been enjoying my time!

Roughly 100,000 more words to go in implementing chapters within the first BANISHED LEGEND book. Good progress, I say!
(The book is 206,000 words, FYI).

Hi, #Minterland:
Jonesy's congestion issues aren't getting any better, and have lasted for about a week now, so I'm "crowdfunding" to get some work in to take him to the vet sometime within the next few days.

Well, I did discover that 21,000 words were missing out of the formatted BOND OF BLOOD book during my readthrough just now… and I have no long they've been out of the published files.

I made it to page 175 of the first 702-page BANISHED LEGEND book. The addition of chapters within parts will make this far easier to read, I feel.
I should've done it ages ago.

I figure this would be a good time to announce that I want to make my BANISHED LEGEND series somewhat more digestible (in that I'm dividing full individual "parts" to have "chapters" within them).
The problem? The series is almost 1-million words long.
This will take some time.

Hey, book community! Maybe you can help!
Does anyone know what the name of a sci-fi book is that features first contact with a Stone Age/Neanderthal civilization?
It has a white-ish cover, with an orb-like craft in the sky, mammoths on the ground, and a woman on a cliff.

Hi, #Minterland:
Wanted to ask a quick question about herpes flare-ups in cats.
Jonesy Beans, my orange boy, is having what I -think- is a flare-up. Symptoms are presenting the same as usual. However, if it -is- a flareup, it is taking a long time for more typical symptoms to show.

I was not a fan of the new Vampire the Masquerade game (Bloodlines 2).
Brilliant voice acting, and the game is beautiful where it needs to be, but otherwise I was disappointed.
