Over Halfway There

I've passed the 30K mark on my current work-in-progress, and things are shaping up nicely. I've done more plotting on this book than I've ever done before. Not sure if that means I'm getting old and scatterbrained or just more organized. I don't know how I used to draft 100K manuscripts without notes. This one will probably end up being between 50-60K, and I've had to outline almost every scene in order to keep track of what I'm writing about. But it's turning out well, and that's what matters. Slow-going, as seems to be the case lately, but every step in the right direction is progress.

In other news, all of the eBooks in my Captain Quasar and Spirits of the Earth trilogies are formatted and ready to go. Next up will be the paperbacks. I'm planning to release them all at the same time, most likely in April to coincide with my turning half a century old. Something to celebrate.

Next week, each of my short story collections will be dropping out of KU and going wide, so they'll be available wherever you buy such things—including my Payhip store. Coyote Cal has new cover art, which might be my favorite so far. I also tinkered around with BackTracker's cover again (since I was in cover-tinkering mode), and I'm thinking this one's a keeper.

Now to plant myself in the study and see if I can churn out a thousand words or so...
