Got my first rejection email for my manuscript last night. I will wear it like a badge of honor.

I have been querying litrpg publishers for a while. Is there a list of publishers that are taking manuscripts? Does anyone know any good publishers?

Here we go. More changes after feed back from my local writers group. Always a great feeling making it better after a group of people called my baby ugly. My baby is growing up to be a great novel!

You know it's been a long day of editing when the coffee mug sits next to the whiskey and coke glass.

THE GUARDIAN PROJECT A collage of 15 images: An assortment of papers, tools, a pen and calculator; a woman's bust, she has a messy braid over one shoulder, is wearing coveralls and has a resolute look on her face; a black jet flying through a dark cloudy sky; a long black fighter jet; an aircraft carrier in front of a large setting sun, a text image reading "we own you"; a sheet of blue plasma with sparks flying from it; the interior of an aircraft carrier hallway with pipes running along the ceiling; a dark-haired soldier sitting in the snow next to an icy river, his head is down looking sad; a text reading "I remember all of them"; a cobblestone path between stone buildings in Cyprus; a man with his face in his hand, one eye glaring intensely between his thumb and forefinger; a view from the inside of a jet cockpit flying towards a cloudy sunrise with a single-engine fighter jet flying in front of it; a large gray flying fighter jet front view; the torso of a soldier with a blue shirt and olive colored plated vest with many pouches, he has fingerless gloves on and is holding a rifle in one hand

I can't believe I actually had a "gem" in there. Had to dig for it.

It was nice, no doubt, with a large, four-poster bed in the center of the stone room and a fireplace across from the bed with a nice plush chair beside it. As hot as it was, she definitely would not be making use of it. The desk at the other corner of the room, however, would be her workstation for the next few days. Right now, though, she was only concerned with one thing. She kicked off her shoes in the general direction of the door, untucked her shirt from her shorts, and plopped herself facedown on the soft bed. She took a deep breath in and let it out, burying her face into the sheets. Her phone chimed in her back pocket. Of course. She groaned and pulled it out, dropping it on the mattress beside her head and opening up her notifications. Hana: Just breathe, you’re going to be fine. A moment later, there was a group text as well. Hana: I made a reservation at the restaurant up the street for the entire team at 8. I heard the food is great. Enjoy your night. Hana was truly a gem.

When I finish an RPG I'm always curious how the world moved on after I stopped logging in? Those dungeons I skipped, this side quest I never finished. What type of world did I leave behind when I finished the main story but did the wrong ending? My MC finds out.

Also, I'm moving. Which means I have to pack up 10 tons of books from my library. I need more shelves! #library

First interlude is coming together. I'm using this as a way to explain more of the world that isn't from the perspective of my MC. I'm cautiously excited to see how this works out.

Got some replies from some editors. I'm doing my story beat reading. I am going to add some interludes to this I think.

At the endish of TGP. They're just trying to stay "vertical", truly.

“Holy hell,” Ben muttered as he examined the wounds. “When did you get stabbed?” Orion looked back at Kira. “At the ridge estate.” It had to have been his hand-to-hand encounter when he had come to her rescue at the truck. Now she remembered one man pulled a knife on him in the scuffle. The way Orion had just torn through all of them without pause, she did not realize he had taken a hit. But then, she was much more preoccupied with the carnage being wrought in her defense. The ease with which he mutilated and killed in moments... It was terrifying at the time, really, and not something she would soon forget. Likewise, she could never forget how readily he employed such violence on her behalf. On everyone’s behalf. Hana was right, she realized. Orion was the one who would do what was right, no matter what. And he bore the cost of it with his flesh. They could see it with their own eyes now. She looked down at her own arms, the short and vertical strokes of the cuts like red pen corrections in her skin. She flexed her fingers and weighed the heat of her injuries against the biting cold that was spreading beneath her ribs.

Yeah. I'm still writing. Fixing dialogue and story beats. It's coming together like a potato casserole.

Watched the annual Christmas movie. Elf with Will Ferrell. Great movie. Major plot hole though. Santa accidentally kidnapped Buddy. Then revealed his dad is on the naughty list. This means Santa knew his parents, yet decided to keep him. This is when it becomes an actual kidnapping and a crime.

For those keeping track of me (these posts help keep me honest) I finished the last chapter yesterday! Woot! Now I need to go back and rewrite a chapter and edit.

for TGP. "Strap" in, we're in a tight spot.

Text that reads: “I’ll die whether or not you’re here,” He nearly spat the words out, and they hit her like arrows. “What can you do to stop it?” “I… I don’t know,” Kira conceded. “But something.” “You think an idea will just come to you? It’s not working out so great now, is it?” “So, I leave and then what?” She flung her hands out. “Hike up the mountain until I―” The sound of vehicle brakes scraping somewhere overhead cut her words short. She froze, looking at Jack, whose tilted head made it clear he had heard as well. Doors opening and closing thunked and then voices reverberated through the trees. Federation. Jack and Kira shared a desperate look before she leapt into action. As the voices grew louder, she snatched the tarp from beneath his leg, setting the injured limb down gently before unfolding it. She cringed as it crinkled, but kept going. Jack had an urgent, questioning look. She mouthed ‘sorry’ and then laid the tarp over him. He threw his hands out in an exasperated gesture before disappearing beneath the plastic. She quickly stacked some of their supplies over it near his legs and dove for the rifle in the back of the truck. She slung the strap over her shoulder and checked the magazine with trembling hands before switching off the safety. As she lifted the weapon towards her shoulder, the reactor crate seated against the back of the rear seats caught her eye. She had forgotten about it. If the Federation were to get its hands on it, what would be done with it? The technology for a fusion reactor small enough to affix to a flying machine was something unheard of. She knew what it meant for their project, but the ulterior applications had not been something she gave any thought to.

I'm so close to finishing the last chapter I can taste it. It tastes like coffee and victory. Delicious!
