Paul Robinson sent an update for Ghosts of War

Hey it’s that anniversary update I was talking about!

It’s now a year (more or less) since Ghosts of War successfully finished it’s funding campaign. Now I know you’re all probably wondering the same thing...

’Dude...it’s been a year....where’s the book?’

A valid question. No doubt. But the last year has been good to Ghosts. It’s a rather different book to where it was at this time last year. For one: it’s finished. At just over 106,000 words, 32 chapters and maybe north of 400 pages, it’s boiled itself down to a story that I’m really rather proud of. Now I say that as it’s author, and the only one who knows how it ends, but I’m quietly confident you’ll like it too (please like it...O_O).

’Yeah, no but for reals...how much longer?’

Not long. I’ve come to realise you can only revise things so much, and at some point you just have to leave it be. As such, I’m currently going through the final polish and tidy up on the current draft and that will be done by the end of January. At that point, I will hand it off to a few beta readers to get their thoughts and then it will be onto the final, final edits.

From there I’ll hand it over to Inkshares (tentatively by the start of March), and it’s generally then around 16 weeks until Pub Day. So, all going well, it should be in your hands by the middle of the year.

’Got anything for us now though?’

I do actually. If you head over here ---->;;;;;;;;;;; CLICK ME

But wait...there’s more...

Chapter 2 has been updated too! Nowhere near as extensively though, I think I only added about 30 words. Most of it was just grammar/punctuation fixes. But it’s still new...kinda.

Chapters 3-8 will be updated over the next week too, so keep an eye out.

Now it wouldn’t be a Ghosts update if I didn’t close with a gif. So...

Until next time.

    Greetings.

    This morning Facebook reminded me that it is 1 year today since Ghosts of War successfully finished it’s funding campaign. This is actually mildly awkward because I thought it was the 13th...not the 11th...

    So, while I don’t have anything for you today, on Friday (the 13th....oooOOOooo...spoopy) I will have a nice, proper, full of info update. 

    So yes, today may be the anniversary, but the party is on Friday.

      Is there any word on when we might see the judges’ picks posted @Elena Stofle ?

        Paul Robinson sent an update for LandFall

         

        So the List ends tomorrow. I had hoped to have 2 chapters up by then, but I hadn’t counted on:

        • Underestimating how much free time I’d have over Christmas
        • having a 4 day (and counting) heatwave that would just zap all energy and motivation
        • being as sad as I have been (RIP Carrie...and Debbie...and...damn it 2016...)
        • forgetting how long I can take to write things sometimes....

        Y’know...best laid plans and all that, but it’s not all bad news!

         

        • I wrote just over 4,000 words in the last week and a bit, which is...a lot for me lately.
        • The rest of Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 (it’s called: ’The Witness") are still coming shortly.
        • I’m still up for judging (as unlikely as a win there may seem)
        • and LandFall has had its first preorders! The first on the long road to publication.

        Things will likely quiet down for a bit after New Years, though I’ll be sure to do an update once the results of the List are known, and I’ll do my best to update the page regularly.

        Keep an eye on that horizon.

        and onwards to 2017...
