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!

Endless Road: Progress Report 15
King Yellow: Endless Road

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.

Endless Road: Progress Report 12

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!
