Finally! Saturday and it’s time for Arpad and Lily’s date! Here’s the lead in and parts one and two. I’m hoping to see part three (when they talk together in the park) later today and tomorrow. My goal is have their last scene – which is going round and round in my head – no later than Tuesday. After that I will turn my attention to my “Worlds Without End” edit to get it released by 30 September.

A Punitive Lesson
My characters are almost always on the move: going hither and yon. Is that because I’m a rather sedentary person? I’m usually sitting to read, write, or watch an anime or movie. When I was young, even into college, I enjoyed going for drives, just to see what was over the next hill.
When did I lose that? And why?
Below the fold, Sylvia gets a summons and receives some startling news. I’m wondering when the plot will show up…
MachCiv Book Tour – Day 16
The good folks at Long & Short Reviews have both a review (imagine that!) and a guest post from me – about how battles kept breaking out in “Friend and Ally” – on their site today. Enjoy!

Nope. Not me. Right around 2130 of Halloween, I send the third-pass edit of Foes & Rivals to my talented copyeditor, at the same time taking a vow I’d write nothing, original, in November.
I now turn to implementing her edits to Friend and Ally while she processes its sequel. I don’t think I’ll have F&A ready for the Local Authors Fair on 17 November… maybe “limited edition” proof copies? Like Niven’s first edition of Ringworld, where the Earth rotated in the wrong direxion.
Besides DayJob, Husband/FatherJob, and WriterJob of 173k words in 7 months, I am so, so tired.
Done2/2
I’ll make a first-pass edit of all this, this week, push it onto my talented copyeditor. In the mean time, I’ll finally get about implementing her changes for Friend and Ally and release that into the wild.
Done1/2
Done story is done. Here’s the first of the last of the raw manuscript.
Without five to six figures up front, I’m never doing a writing trial such as this again. It will kill me. This is a near-run thing, as it is.
