I drove by there, being that I&#8217;m unfamiliar with the southern part of the state. \u00a0I couldn&#8217;t find the exact place, but hopefully I&#8217;ll be able to get there early enough on Saturday to find it.<\/p>\n<p>I have my dragons, my candy, my books, and books that I&#8217;ll be selling for the Press.<\/p>\n<p>This week I sent my novel to the editor. Yes, I know I did it earlier last month, but she didn&#8217;t get a chance to look at it until now. And come to find out it was a physical mess. I needed to put it through Word&#8217;s grammar\/spelling paces (I later found out that Scrivener has a more robust one). After fighting with Word&#8217;s choices of grammar (which took two days), I resent it to the editor and hopefully now she&#8217;ll get a chance to look at it. Our timeline is to have it soft-launched on\u00a0October 1, so it&#8217;s in time for the big launch at RI Comicon.<\/p>\n<p>Book three of <em>War Mage<\/em> is coming along slowly. I think I wrote two pages last week, which is pretty sad on my part. I am reading &#8220;Make a Scene&#8221; which deconstructs scenes, the building blocks of story. I really should stop reading books on writing,\u00a0because they&#8217;re not telling me anything I don&#8217;t already know; but I have so many of them on my shelf to read. Go to my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/3988513-warwriter?shelf=currently-reading\">Goodreads list<\/a> and take a look to see what I&#8217;ve got there. Way too many writing books.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve put aside <em>Grimaulkin<\/em>. Part of me wants to dump the whole thing. I&#8217;ve been working on it for over 6 years. It&#8217;s a good story, but damn, I&#8217;m bored with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes I can fake being an extrovert. Next week, I&#8217;m going to have to.
