Endless Road: Progress Report 17
King Yellow: Endless Road
65,900 words
I’m almost finished revising the 1st draft. Once it’s done, I want to go back through for another pass. After that, I’ll need to format everything for upload, which shouldn’t take too terribly long.

Endless Road: Progress Report 16
King Yellow: Endless Road
65,500 words
I had hoped to have this finished and out by now, but maybe it was already pretty evident that it wasn't going to happen. The 1st draft is done. I'm still waiting for a little feedback before proceeding, but the book really is close to completion.
I did put up The World Tree, which, despite first appearing in Approaching Infinity Book 6: The Damnation Reprieve, works quite well as a stand-alone short story. Links for both can be found on the right sidebar. I'm hoping to make that, along with the rest of my short stories, free wherever they can be found.
I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season and good luck to us all in 2019!
Merry Belated Christmas & Happy New Year!

It may not look like much, but I did manage to get past my writer’s block. A huge, months-long chunk of nothing melted away by a few encouraging words. Pretty neat. In any case, the book really is nearing completion. It may be a bit on the short side (ironic, given its title), but it will be what it will be.
In other news, I’m taking steps to make my short stories free for download. Some of them can already be found on Smashwords (and soon to be elsewhere via their distribution channels). Eventually, they should be free from Amazon.com as well.
Happy Holidays!

All these posts are starting to (?) sound the same. Anyway, a little more progress—always good— and I don't want to cry wolf, but I think I might be in a position to start really pushing through to the end.

Added relevant material from Approaching Infinity Book 6. I'd originally intended to include this, changed my mind, then changed it back. Though it's just a casual and incomplete view of the end of the AI series, I wanted to make the King Yellow books as stand-alone as possible. Anyway, satisfied with the choice. Might take a little revision of the material to make it more relevant to King Yellow, but that shouldn't pose too much a of a problem.
Also reworked a few things and made some general edits. Getting there!

Okay, even though the word count this time around might not reflect it, I'm back on track. I've spent the last few days going through the story addressing some things I'd been meaning to, getting set to fill in some holes and push through towards the end. It still may be a bit slow-going, but we'll get there. I promise. Thanks for sticking around!

Well, I've come a little ways out of my writing funk, I guess. Not a lot of progress, but some, and there should be more on the way. I haven't given up and hope you haven't either!

No progress last month. Unfortunately, I am going on hiatus for a bit. I don't know for how long, but still hope to have the book out by year's end. Bear with me.
Oh, and...
Happy Easter!

Not a great month, but not a bad one either—just shy of my monthly goal. Had a bit of writer's block, which took some time to overcome, but overcome it I did! Woot!

It's not exactly where I wanted to be, but December wasn't so bad productivity-wise. With the Holidays behind us now, I hope to get back to a regular schedule of at least 10k words per month. Having made that crack about the Holidays, though, let me just say...
Happy New Year!
Let's hope 2018 is everyone's best year yet!

Back on track this month. Would have liked to have made up for the last two months as well, but it didn’t happen. I’m happy with my progress so far, though.

Tragic Providence is live and available for download from Amazon.com!
In spite of everything going on (I'm off to the hospital in a few hours to start my 2nd cycle of chemotherapy), the first King Yellow book is complete!
Thank you, everyone, for all your support!

Tragic Providence: Progress Report 18
King Yellow: Tragic Providence
2nd draft complete @
116,600 words
I've been back from the hospital for a week and have been feeling mostly good. I cannot thank my wife and daughter (and parents) enough for all their help and support. I've been eating with no trouble, and even had an increase in appetite for a few days there. I've been pretty tired and have noticed some hearing loss already, but today in particular has been a bit iffy. For the first time, I think I'm starting to slip into the realm of the weakened immune system. Been headachey and a little dizzy.
I have been able to proofread, though, and can proudly say that the 2nd draft is complete. I'm very proud of Tragic Providence. It is exactly what I wanted it to be. I want to make one more proofread run and then I'll try to start work on the eBook formatting. If I continue to feel like I did today, though, that might be a challenge. As always, fingers crossed!
