Where Are We? - July 2025

Writing

It only took a casual trip to the edge of sanity and a small offering to the pagan god Molek, but Part 4 is finally revised and my inner demons can rest.

With that hurdle conquered, the final few chapters are next for edits in August (which is also the month our cover artist starts her work!) As well as that, I’ve provisionally chosen five beta readers to scout for issues and I’ll be contacting those mid-August for a September start after all chapters have been revised.

You know that part of a plane journey where your departing flight gets on the runway and then rapidly accelerates, throwing your head back in the seat just before take off? That’s where we are now. It’ll be a lot of work, but I’m actually getting excited for it.

Life

Still mourning the completion of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, I reverted back to Skyrim as a palate cleanser. I swore I wouldn’t do overtime at work but that’s become strongly recommended and has eaten a fair portion of free time so even gaming time has been cut short.

Still managed to start watching Adolescence on Netflix (late, I know) and I’m loving the one-take filming. Between that and another venture into Game Pass, I’ll make sure I remember to have some fun along the way.
