Until I’ve refined my vision for this website, updates will go into the blog. Ideally, I want it on the front page, but the tools and knowledge to make it look good exceeded my abilities and limited attention span. It’ll get better, but for now, it’s here.
RA IV is at 90,000 words. I suspect I’ve got another 20-30k to throw down but am hoping for less. Expecting completion of the rough draft in early summer. It will probably take another 6-8 months of editing before it’s remotely readable. But the story is coming together and I’m excited.
I’m tempted to just skip the editing part and drive straight into V since there’s no real deadline for IV. Is it better to have two rough drafts that tell more of the story or one complete draft that delivers half the story? Probably the former since I’m the only guy who can create, but others could edit. Still, it’s a one-man shop so I’ll find the right way forward.
I am also working on developing a hardcover version of Semper Gumby for distribution through Ingram. There is no raging demand for a hardcover, but it gives libraries and booksellers access in the cosmic event that they should want to stock it.
Working title for IV is Ajid’s Winter. I’d love to give more spoilers, but cold and hard are all you need. Unlike another popular and successful series, winter isn’t coming, it’s here. (But let’s be real, I’d set all these books on fire if it meant THAT winter could be here too, lol.)
