Whispers

Publishing

So Dowse and Bleed is officially in review and I’ll get to proof it soon. I’m actually going to order a proof this time and will probably redo the typesetting on Gone Hunting soon and order that too. This round has been something of a revelation for me. And sent the Word file off to the formatter. :braces self for the invoice:

Writing

When in doubt, just write it out. I dove into my gift-fic and let’s just see what happens, shall we? Note to self: I haven’t the foggiest idea what I’m doing. I made it 167 words into the gift-fic before stalling out.

Upon switching to Splintered Gates, I got 728 words. That wasn’t actually the plan, but I’ll go with it. I’m starting to get scenes, and that’s a good thing. They’ll need later fleshing, but I’m not starting from sketch only either.

And back to the gift-fic. It’s going well, even if I can tell I’m not wholly comfortable in this character’s head. Either of theirs. I have no idea how I’m going to merge these scenes either.

In line with the idea of catching up on sleep, I'm going to stop here. I chose to write less today in favor of publishing. I regret nothing.
