It has been and is going to be a busy few weeks at work, so I might end up having to hiatus-ize a little bit. We’ll see how writing goes this week. I’d like to get a long way ahead again; I guess we’ll see how successful I am. Soon, I’m also going to update the ‘About’ page with some links to various bits of the Many Words network, which sounds a lot fancier than it is.

1) John Brimlow, collaborator, etc., has opened vanguard.many-words.com to host future writing of his.
2) soapbox.many-words.com, which doesn’t have any content yet, will eventually host musings and stories of mine that aren’t more narrowly about writing—games, guns, controversy, and whatnot.

Have a wonderful Sunday, reader.

Speaking of Nexus, I finished my first editing pass of We Sail Off To War, and today I’m sending it out to a few test-readers for their feedback on pace and tone. The e-book edition is more nearly done than it’s been since I wrapped up writing on the story, uh, almost a year ago, I guess. Besides a few moments during which I thought, “Did I really think that was okay when I wrote it?” the editing process has gone well so far.

Paging through my writing notebook, I see that I’m now about two weeks ahead on Nathaniel Cannon and the Secret of the Dutchman’s Cross, which is reason for self-congratulation. It’ll start posting on Tuesday, and I’m excited for it.

Alas, I have household chores to do today, and so my gabble about the other things I’m doing/have planned will have to wait for later.

Anyway, I have about a dozen things to do today, including car repair, some writing and editing, and some various other smaller tasks, so I’m going to get to it.

Apologies for the delay, but alas, I’m not a full-timer nor quite dedicated enough to my three regulars to push through the cold tonight or take time away from car stuff this week. At least I’m back to Nathaniel Cannon soon, and I have very high hopes for this one. I believe I promised a post-mortem for A Jump to Conclusions, so I’ll try and get that written this week, too.

I wrote a crossword a few days ago, too. It’s very snarky, if that’s your thing. You can play it using XWord, which you can find on Sourceforge.

I’ve managed to plot out how the next Nathaniel Cannon story is going to go already, and I’ll be diving into that after A Jump To Conclusions is done. I’m also self-editing We Sail Off To War, which should probably come first.
