A steady march forward… with musings…

So, I'm starting the "formal" listen-through of Beyond 1 and making the necessary changes, and it's so nice to hear it coming together.  In my quick listen-through, it came off pretty well.  Only a couple of mistakes between chapters, facts that didn't quite match,...

Progress and then some!

After praying about and deciding to move down the path of self publishing, I've been doing some actual work trying to make that happen - bought a book, downloaded a bunch of tools, had a few false starts (automated conversion is for the birds, guys).  I was pleasantly...

Moving ahead…

Whenever I don't think things are moving or ready to move with my writing, that's precisely when things seem to do just that... First, we've reviewed finances and prayed, and at present, there is no reason (other than general uncertainty) to forestall pushing forward...

Beyond … is done! (Sorta…)

I am happy to announce that book 8 - Beyond - Echoes of Embers - is complete!  I've written "The End" and the Epilogue, and it has been fully read to the lady wife and has met with her approval.  (That's a very important benchmark!)  Of course, as these things...

Patience … Patience … and Faith

Unfortunately, the funding for the ISBN's has been pulled into more practical matters.  So, my timeline will have to stretch.  I was hoping to have the books out by the end of the year, but I don't see that as a possibility, which is discouraging but... hopefully,...

Going Beyond…

Going back and reviewing my blog entries made me realize how much detail I put out about my thoughts on The Fallen, and here, I haven't hardly said anything about the Beyond.  There are a couple of reasons for this, I suppose - largely the rewrite of Trials disrupting...

Every day … something.

It's interesting, but one of the little things I try to do is to do SOMETHING with my writing every day.  Ideally, that means actual writing, but it can mean other things.  It might mean working with a visual artist to improve the flourishes and section breaks.  It...

Back from vacation…

I just got back from vacation to my folks' place and beyond the family memories, there was a very nice moment that had to do with writing. The draft copy of Trials of the Teldear is finally ready, and a dear friend of mine growing up and her family have the dedication...

Down to ONE PROJECT!

After what seems like a very long time working on The Fallen, Trials, and Beyond all at the same time, I've finally managed to cross the first two items off my list.  They are both DONE!  Now, I can focus again on the creative side... story writing! Don't get me wrong...

Wow, someone is actually reading this!

Hi there! So sorry I have not kept up to date on this blog!  I recently got a message from someone in Japan (or whose language is Japanese) who wanted to make sure I was continuing to work on it!  How crazy is that?!  The message, translated by Google, went something...
