[As usual, three weeks lag here, if you aren’t reading this on my Patreon (). If you’d like your news fresher, and the monthly Anti-Stodgy/Redneck Chef newsletter, all I ask is a buck to help keep the lights on around here.]
Having a morning. Did finish Heather’s War #4. Then been editing and trying to catch up with all the things I have let slide a little because emotionally overwhelmed right now.
Trying not to bite anyone. So far so good. Today.
New roof on the barn and one of the tiny houses last week. Spring yardwork starting up, but that’s the brush cutter. Don’t have time today, so the blackberry gets another day respite to grow.
Not sure what next story I start tomorrow. Or if I take a day off. Need to write a Thrill Ride Story. And a Boundary Shock Quarterly story. And more Patreon shorts. Got several novels planned, including next Red Branch. Those fill me with joy, so I’ll keep writing them.
Next year, it looks like Heather and Ollie will fill 9 or 10 months of publishing. That’s a need to finish Ollie 3, then write ends of both. With maybe an Extra Ollie, depending on how 3 closes. Needs about 20k and I’ve reread them up to date.
Got more Marrakesh planned. Got the Colossus series to start. Got Scattered Tribes to extend. Got a lot. A little frazzled today when the reminder went off to write something here, so not a lot of details. Crazy Week just keeps plowing along.
Hope yours is copacetic.
