Yes, I survived. But not as I had hoped.<\/p>\n
I hoped to sell a lot of items for the Press. Building Baby Brother <\/em>and Best Intentions<\/em>. Unfortunately, nothing sold except 4 copies of my book, Homecoming<\/em>.

Next year, I hope to have 3 books: Homecoming<\/em>, War Mage<\/em>, and Grimaulkin<\/em>.<\/p>\n I gave up on NaNoWriMo this year. The story just isn’t in me. I’m itching to edit Grimaulkin<\/em> instead. My plan is to get Grim in the publisher’s hands by February of next year, and hopefully have it ready to go by November again.<\/p>\n Maybe I’ll do the Con again.
