No not with the book – but with the first half.  A few weeks ago I got to the half way point and wanted to take a pretty serious accounting of where the book was and what if anything needed adjusting.  I’m glad I did because there was indeed much that needed tending.  I’m just about done with that and will start forward momentum again soon.  It’s actually been a good time for me to do this analysis because I have a number of things that have also been going on simultaneously with this.  That includes:

• Overseeing the Hollow World Kickstarter (which ends today)
• Reviewing the printer proof for The Crown Tower (went out last Friday)
• Reviewing the printer proof for The Rose and the Thorn (about 30% through)
• Coordinating with Betsy Mitchell on structural editing of Hollow World
• Revising copy editing candidates for Hollow World
• Being a guest on some podcasts and being interviewed for some articles
• Writing my posts for Amazing Stories

Once I’m back to the forward momentum phase I’ll start updating this site more regularly.
