Just Some Updates

Normal broadcasts will resume next week. For today I want to share a few updates regarding production.

• No real writing all of last week, due to family being in town for an early Christmas. Everyone is out of the house as of today, so back to the grind I go. A break was nice to have, but even over the course of a week you lose a lot of speed and momentum. If writing was my profession I suspect this wouldn't be as jarring a transition.
• "Jupiter Symphony" is still approaching release, but I have not yet started on cover design work, and so it may be delayed into January. I've been going back and forth on the design more than I probably should be, but I take a very professional viewpoint with my work and would like to have a presentable and attractive cover image.
• More troubling, since the latest full edit, I'm considering changing the title of the book. Despite having composed a blog entry on book titles, I'm finding that editing really takes the wind out of your sails when it comes to ideas that seemed really solid earlier. I still like the title, but more work needs to go into certain parts of the book to emphasize it.
• "Unto Persephone" was also on pause, but is now probably only two weeks out from the first manuscript being done. Figure a month more realistically as my focus shifts more towards finishing "Jupiter Symphony."
• "The Long Night" is starting to take shape, and I'm excited to see how it comes together. I'm trying new techniques, adding to my writing toolbox and seeing if it makes things fit together more cleanly than before. The fact that I've been writing prequels has really highlighted how important it is to have meticulous notes on characters, and a timeline is in the works to keep the facts (fictions?) straight.
• I haven't forgotten coupon codes. This blog will still feature coupons for "Jupiter Symphony" once it is published, so everyone can enjoy my first work. I'm much more interested in seeing what everyone thinks of my first foray, so stay tuned for details.
