HIT:<\/strong>
At the Rhode Island Expo, I sold ten books. I was happy and excited, because I got to meet a real fan who read my books (the erotica series) and loved them. I also met two people who traveled from the northern part of the state just to come get my books (and another LBGTQ fantasy author). In RI, being such a small state, that’s a big thing. I also sold a few War Mage<\/em>s for the card reading aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MISS:<\/strong>
I ended NaNoWriMo with 9500 words to go. The more words I added, the more stupid the whole thing started to sound. I knew I had to go back to the beginning and introduce Nash instead of introducing him in the middle. And I didn’t take note of the timing because I knew that Nash had to reappear on Thursday or Friday night – but I didn’t know where I wrote Thursday or Friday night. I started to re-read, and realized the entire first scene was a throw-away…so I gave up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the important thing is that I got a story out. Any words is better than no words, and now that I have something to work with, I can take care of things on the second pass. I’m going to let it rest for about a month, while I write one of the Air stories, and then get right back to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are my goals for 2019:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brothers of the Zodiac: Air<\/em> – Spring 2019
Grimaulkin in the Wild<\/em> – (an anthology of backstories for Grimaulkin) Spring-summer 2019
Blood From a Stone<\/em> – Fall 2019. That one needs a lot of TLC because it is really a hot mess. Max may end up telling this one.
Yellowtree <\/em>– Summer 2019 Once I make it pretty.
Futhark <\/em>(tentative title) – a standalone erotica story by Max – Unknown when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
