Oh wow, such a long time between updates, huh? Was I dying?
Not really. Certainly felt like it at times. Next year: flu shot. Nothing like severe, body-shaking chills, fatigue, fever and medication induced hallucinations, and a throat so ravaged by coughs it took a month and about 150 cough drops to heal. So here I am, several weeks later, updating.
Right now? I’d say my life going swell. That’s not sarcasm, either. Holy cow, I feel good! I won’t say why here, let’s just say a massive ball of stress is gone, and a couple of smaller nodules are slowly being chipped away at.
Moving on to Blurred Weaponry stuff. Because I was so sick and stressed out, I haven’t done much writing recently. My current attitude means I’ll be back on track soon and will finally be able to send this thing to my editor. The new First Five – chapters, of course – are solid. Not sure if I need to spice them up, though, as 3, 4, and 5 are mostly conversational and exploratory, with a focus on tension, accusations, establishing who does and doesn’t trust whoever else, and so on.
That being said, my main page is updated with the latest version of Chapter 1 (the one my editor will see), which is now split into two named parts to be a little more attractive for readers. Chapter 2 has been added and I’ll be sending that separately to followers later today (something I’ve never done before, so why not). These shorter, punchier chapters have been a ton of fun to make, and I’m pretty happy with them and look forward to [FINALLY!] running through the remainder of the manuscript for whatever minor additions / changes are needed to match the new material.
Thanks for being a part of me slowly-creeping-back-into-pre-orders campaign, and I’ll have more to talk about soon!
Peace out,
MAV
