I finished the first pass edits of A Darkling Nine and have submitted the manuscript to first readers. I hope to have them back within the next 8 weeks or so. Meanwhile, it’s time to start thinking about starting the next novel, Proxima Centauri, the second book in the Deep… Continue reading
Not a huge amount of editing this past week due to final exams in the classes I was teaching. I did a few chapters. Also this past weekend I attended LepreCon 39. Was on panels Friday and Saturday and met Jack McDevitt. We’ll see an interview with him on Wednesday… Continue reading
I managed to edit about a hundred pages of A Darkling Nine this week, much of it yesterday. It’s coming along nicely, but I have not yet reached the point where I stopped writing for several months. I’m not sure how much I’ll get to edit this coming week as… Continue reading
I made some progress in my first edit pass of A Darkling Nine. I’ve made it through 48 pages–not a particularly large number of pages, but progress nevertheless. Other obligations, particularly with my teaching gig at the community college interfered with the edits, but most of that was one-shot. I… Continue reading
Not much progress made this week on anything. I did a few edits on A Darkling Nine, an effort that I need to step up. Non-writing commitments and home repairs have been dominating my time, but I do want to get the first edit pass for A Darkling Nine in… Continue reading
I did not work on fiction at all this past week, though I have been chewing on ideas for the sequel to Rigel Kentaurus. That book originally had the working title Barnard’s Star, but the plot falling together is not supporting that title. The working title is now Proxima Centauri…. Continue reading
Not much new writing this week, although I did spend quite a bit of time answering some questions at wetwebmedia.com, so that sort of counts. I’ve been debating whether to start the next novel or to give A Darkling Nine a first edit pass. There are pluses and minuses to… Continue reading
I finished up the first draft of A Darkling Nine last week, and good thing, too. I was swamped with events, including a trip to San Diego, and having to euthanize a dog we’ve had for 13 years. The second of those came as a total surprise to us, but… Continue reading
Friday evening, I struggled trying to continue my novel-in-progress into the next chapter. I ended up walking away from it after a word count of only 583 on the day. My target has been 1750 daily throughout this novel. I returned that evening and reread the last few paragraphs. After… Continue reading
This past week has been productive, if not hectic. It also marks the first chapter I have written in this novel where I was fighting off falling asleep, so I know I have part of one session that reads like a stream-of-consciousness random psychobabble passage. I’ll figure out what I… Continue reading
