Legends of Windemere

First some highlights of last week and next week:

• If you haven’t already, check out my interview/chat with Sally Ember, Ed. D. on Youtube.
• Cast your vote for who gets an excerpt during the last week in November.  I’ll be trying to take as much as I can from Book 6.
• The posts this week are the results of the latest ‘Monster Maker Fun’ post.  Hope you enjoy the critters.

Now for the rest of life . . . I think we’re at the point where me saying that I’m NOT exhausted is news.  With the temporary situation, I’m handling the cooking, cleaning, kid, and everything else along with the writing and editing.  Thankfully, I’m through the more challenging books and I’ll have the next one edited by Halloween if not earlier.  Then I’ll step away to edit Curse of the Dark Wind another time to make sure I have the continuity ready.  It shouldn’t be very difficult since it’s shorter than the others.  Maybe I’ll post about it later today since it brings up an interesting question.

Come to think of it.  I don’t have much to talk about.  It’s been a real slog ever since the interview since I’m trying to maintain so much.  I guess you know it’s bad when I fall asleep on one of my notebooks and it’s the afternoon.  I have been going hard for months now, so maybe getting to sleep in and relax tomorrow will help.  I know next Saturday will be a early morning, silence, and late night period for me.  In other words, I’ll be away and won’t be heard from until Sunday.  This is dependent on me keeping my health and energy up.  Man, I’m out of steam already here.  I also keep feeling like another bout of the blues is trying to hit me.  Seems to happen whenever I’m put under stress and can’t seem to find a way out.

AIM, READY, GOALS!

1. Finish doing a quick read of The Compass Key to lock in continuity and see if I can catch any typos.
2. Start Curse of the Dark Wind final edit if possible.
3. Cook dinner every night.
4. Take son Trick or Treating and prepare candy for Halloween.
5. Review a few book ideas.
6. Do biking every morning.
7. Work a little bit more on Yola story and Bounty Hunter.

Addendum: I’ve been wondering about sharing W.I.P.’s on here.  I have a few scheduled for November, but I’ve run into problems when I do this.  Mostly people seem to think I’m going to do the story right away and I fear it’s causing confusion.  Also, I don’t get much of a reaction from these posts and they kind of require feedback.  So, my future projects might remain in the shadows until it’s they’re time.  The more I think about it, the more I realize that the content of my blog is going to be chopped down once January hits.  The character interviews, W.I.P., and other posts will be eliminated or minimized.  A lot of Legends of Windemere stuff will suffer the same fate until it gets close to a release.  I should probably sit down and figure out what that leaves me with.  Poetry, goal posts, skits, and stories about myself?  I’ll have another 2 months to figure this out.  I already have my first ‘Personal Post’ ready.  😀
