February Update

For being the shortest month of the year, February has had a lot going on! I’ve picked up steam on Gemtouched Memoirs 3, which is coming along nicely. Well, my characters might not think so, but I do. Still moving slower than I’d like, and I’ve pushed out my projected completion date to the end of May, but that’s mainly because I’ve been working on a lot of other projects. The second draft of my new series is done! That’s one less thing to be working on for a while, until my writing group gets through it, which should be at the end of April. I went to the Life, The Universe, and Everything Symposium (commonly known as LTUE), which was a lot of fun for me. I learned a lot, met some awesome people, and will definitely be applying to be a panelist next year. You know you’re a writer when some of the favorite panels you attended were on comma usage, utilities and infrastructure, and black markets. I also went filking for the first time, folk singing of sci-fi and fantasy fans, which was a blast, and I look forward to doing it more in the future. I’ll be bashing the balrog for a while, won’t ever set the cat on fire, will continue to beg a stick to become a fire, and will break free with the wicked girls saving themselves. And finally, but perhaps most exciting, typesetting for the hardcover of Escape from Salmira is almost done! I should be finishing that up today, then it’s just adjusting the cover before ordering the proof! Once I receive that, I’ll see if any other adjustments need to be made, but expect to see the hardcover available next month!
