More second pass-through edits for TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 2.

I’m getting them one story at a time, and we’re not done yet. But my editor is half done with the second pass-through for TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol, 2, and that’s worth mentioning. I’m pretty much prioritizing killing typos and fixing punctuation as soon as I get told about them, because once she’s all done, I can do my own full pass-through… and then we format the book.

Pre-orders loom on the horizon, in other words. I’m half tempted to set it up now, but better safe than sorry.

As always, you can get the first volume of TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION here.

The ‘Schrodinger’s Show’ SATURDAY NIGHT trailer

What is that somebody said about Saturday Night Live? “You can only be avant-garde for so long before you just become garde?” All that being said: SATURDAY NIGHT itself looks like it could be good. Or else incredibly indulgent of Lorne Michaels. Possibly both! It all depends on whether they focus on the antics of a bunch of very funny yet often mildly horrible young people, all of whom are under intense time pressure, and also the influence of cocaine. Because the first season of that show makes no sense without cocaine.

Clearing houses was surprisingly dull.

The residences in Churchill were one and two-story row houses that felt like they were huddling together against the cold. It was early June, so the place wasn’t freezing, but there was an underlying taste of chill in the air. There was also the reek of fear, resignation, and general sweat in all the houses, but Norm assumed that sort of thing could be expected in the aftermath of a FSOB roundup.

At least there weren’t any bloodstains. “Most of the residents came along quietly,” Beltran explained as the two of them methodically went through the first house. “The ones who didn’t got sticky rounds, which calmed them right down. Sometimes somebody gets killed anyway, sometimes they don’t. We got lucky, this time.”

“Yeah. The Bureau seems, ah, a bit…” Norm slammed his mouth shut.

“…Pickier about that than the Peeps? Yeah, we are.” Thankfully, Beltran was amused.

“Canon is a tool and not a crutch.”

This started out as a Facebook comment, but danged if it didn’t turn out half bad. I’m refraining from fiddling with it further. Oh, and obviously it’s to the tune of If You’re Happy And You Know It.

Getting back typo checks for TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 2.

Three stories down! Looks like we killed most of the typos already, but there was one fun story where I had three different versions of the secondary villainess’s name. I gotta through that one again special, just to make sure there isn’t a fourth.

Depending on how long the editor takes, we might be ready to get the e-text ready for Kickstarter backers by the end of the weekend. Or at least a week from now. It’s very exciting, yes?

As always, pick up Volume 1 of TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION here.
