August Already?

I had ideas. I had plans. Things that were going to ready and on Amazon by August.

Reality has gotten in my way.

Again.

Anybody else?

Disruption in Service

I don't go into great detail on my medical stuff these days. People don't like that. And it is distracting. Let's just say that as the result of my most recent medical - 'focus' - I am distracted from the speed completion of my projects. I refuse. Which is not to say that I am not working on things. Just not things as quickly as I would like. Something every day, no matter what. That means I am doing the next project, SONG OF ORPHANS, while I am waiting on final edit pass on CLIMBING THE SPIRAL MOUNTAIN from the acknowledge editor in Connecticut, and I am continuing work on the Jorune projects - SEGMENT: SHO-CAUDAL #13 (and final) and the ORFA: JORUNE write up. Every day. A few hours on one of those. Or the marketing side of all of it. And I have more that could be plugged in for activity not related to these four. Like - art.

I've been through this before and, thanks to some people I know with experience, I know I would have been able to lose a leg, stay sane and sober. But I don't want to. Whenever a doctor uses the word "amputation" I perk right up, pay attention, and follow directions. At this point, I should mention that it was not painful. It should have been, ...

Being Naughty

I am supposed to be working on the manuscripts, but I needed a break. I will need fresh covers for the four books to spew out over the next few weeks. They are being tweaked to make better Kindle edition through Amazon, meaning everyone who already bought the Kindle edition will be automatically upgraded when they are uploaded. But I found a font I like and thought I'd do the new covers to follow the dictates of the current fashion in "Good Cover Design." I think they brand me as the author, the four books as belonging together and view well at the small size, the button people will use to pick the book out of a series. I continue to work on the text, corrected the typographic errors I mentioned in the previous post. It looks like all four books will go up in short order. And I work on new pieces when not escaping from my editing typography or designing new covers.
