Copy edits are done, and we have a cover!

Thank you all for your comments and feedback! I am really grateful to everyone who took the time to voice their opinion. This final version has been tweaked to make it a little lighter, and I think will be really eye-catching both on store shelves and as an online thumbnail!

Next step is trying to secure cover blurbs from prominent authors or reviewers, then final proofreads, spine and back cover design, and final interior layout for both the ebook and hardcopy versions! It’s all coming together!

Thank you all yet again!

Good news. I finished the book. 

Well, technically I reached the end of the book, which is still good, if a little less ’final’.

See? Chapter 32 is done. I wrote the end of the book.

For reference, the final words are: "Thank you." And don’t worry, that’s not a spoiler. 

If anyone could guess who says it, to whom and the context, I wouldn’t be doing my job. Rest assured it’s a very satisfying thank you with some nice "Book 2" implications to boot.

I also wrote 1000 words in a single day (just) for the first time in what feels like months, which felt good. With November coming up, and NaNoWriMo with it, it’s promising that I’m getting back in a groove. I still haven’t decided if I’m participating, but we’ll see how it goes. I would like to get some work done on LandFall...

Goals for the next week: Finish chapter 23, get to work on chapter 26 and maybe even, y’know, finish the book.

  Huge news!
 

Just one day after receiving the Rite of Passage Syndicate pick, we’ve been given the tremendous honor of being named as the Staff Syndicate’s October pick! The Staff Syndicate is the second-larges syndicate on Inkshares, and thanks to them, we are currently now only TWENTY-EIGHT orders away from full publishing!

Guys...we could finish it today. Campaigns tend to build up a lot of momentum once they get this close to a publishing goal. Now is the time! Pour everything you have into getting the word out, because we are SO close.
