I'm still chugging along at 1000 words a day on the re-write of Murder the World. It's a good thing I'm re-writing it, as it is actually a bit more of a mess than I had thought. :unsure:
I expect a reply from Baen about Fallen Masks in the coming week.

I thought I'd get this book out relatively quickly for Totally Bound. Ha! Here comes allergy attacks, unending blizzards, and colds. Can't I put my conscience in a robot body already?

Make it a plot point. "Hey, has anybody seen Kowalski?"

I hear Nebraska is going to get slammed with major weather, so be careful.

The hell with Medicare For All. Any candidate who runs on Robot Bodies gets my vote.

Oh, I have plenty of background characters this time in groups we aren't following. :) Just had to move one into a main group. You won't see him much but he's there.

Book 10 is primed for me to write it as soon as I'm done with 9. This is the big one for Tereena - we finally see whether Sikar Prime stays in the Alliance.

I wound up signing up to join three different giveaways for right now.

This one gets you an ereader.

This one a $250 giftcard.

This one is just a bunch of books.

That's a lotta stuff. I wonder what kind of an e-reader it is.

It's either a Fire or Nook. I think it says that somewhere on the website.

If anyone else wants to sign up for a virtual book con, you have until tomorrow. I'm for sure sharing Power and maybe Squire Hayseed.

Edit run 1 is going well. Need to redesign the cover, do the DP and add brief species descriptions.

Sounds interesting, but I'm not sure what would happen or what I'd have to do. I'd probably need a website to participate, which I really should have, but don't.

Not really, you go through their website. But today is the last day to sign up.

I'm kind of afraid to commit to it, since I don't really know what happens. Maybe I'll just visit this year and see if I want to do it next year.
