Still behind, but I made wordcount today. That is one of the two important things. The other being, ‘improving the book:’ I also caught a howler that needed correcting today. Yay, edits!

Plink. Plink. Plink.

GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND Revisions, 10/05/2022: 63270/80000.
Half of it is revising chapters, the other half is working on bits that need to be inserted into chapters. Slowish going, but necessary.
10/05/2022 Update, GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND: 61968/80000.
Yeah, I stayed up late to make wordcount. I have to get this under control. GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND has to be in draft form this month. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Right now, I’m just trying to tie all the threads together, pull on them, and see if a book forms. I rather hope that it will. I’m also rather aware that I’ve not done nearly enough to describe the planet our heroine is on. I really should have been doing that throughout the book…

This is part of the Kickstarter rewards: somebody paid good money to have a character introduced, and I wanted to get her fixed a little in my head.

Been going over the manuscript, wanted to get this bit down. Like you do.
The March Patreon stuff is up!
This was a complicated month, so I put up the first three chapters of my next novel (GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND), as well as the latest stuff for ASHES OF EMPIRE. Honestly, I can’t wait for the summer. There’s been a lot of stuff going on lately.
Looking again at GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND.
Might as well: I haven’t gotten the first chapters back for TINSEL RAIN, so I can’t work on that. And I shouldn’t move forward on the other projects until the money clears on the Kickstarter, which usually will be about two weeks. GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND currently clocks in at just below sixty thousand words, so I need to add about another twenty thousand or so before I go find an alpha reader for it.
Yeah, a new alpha reader for this book. It’s science fiction horror, you see – and it would drive my wife up the wall to see how bad the science is. She won’t alpha read my space opera serial novel, either, assuming it ever finishes.
Anyway, I suspect that the first three chapters of GoaAW will be this month’s Patreon story. The current short story’s crapped out, too. Dunno why. I should give it a month or two to cool down.
