3 falling action scenes left to write and the Seismic Semester is over.
Also, the cover is finished! Probably reveal it and give you lot the first chapter in November if all goes well (December if all does not go well...January if things go very badly).
1. RFA C4-C7 is finally a go for October! This should bring the most relief I've gotten so far, now that they've narrowed down where the problem area is. Best news I could've asked for! (other than the spine spontaneously healing, I suppose)
2. As such, October will be ****ed. But November onward could be heavenly.
3. Blogger is tagging posts as not sensible for public standards if I curse too much, hence the above self censorship. **** you, AI overlords!
4. Cover work on Seismic Semester is ongoing. King Henry will not be the character on the front. Chill! It's still all from his POV and a Tape (Sessions 81-92), I just have the 6 covers with him already and 3 more in the bag (WtEAW/FM7/FM8). So I thought adding some variety going forward would be fun and this character being on the front is pretty fitting given the story.
5. As I've said many times, it's a photoshop cover using stock photo elements, they try their best, but it is not an artist spending weeks on a newly created personalized painting that I'm spending thousands of dollars on, so adjust your expectations accordingly.
6. I got tired working on the readthrough. Finished FM5, but the idea of two weeks on FM6 broke my spirit. I'll get back to it in a couple months.
7. Edited Session 91 for the first time instead and now I'm typing it into the computer while having even more brilliant ideas, of course! Sessions 91 might be the best chapter in the book. I don't know...pretty proud of Session 83 too.
8. Plan (also known as whatever makes me happy) is to edit what I have of Session 92 (14k words already!) and finish the first draft on Seismic Semester before I enter RFA burnination territory next month. Have like...ten day window in the middle of September and another ten day window ending the month into early October, so decent chance I might manage it.
9. I hate the International Break...so, so much. The season just ****ing started!
10. Might finally watch Furiosa tonight.
11. Speaking of great watches (I hope, don't let me down, George Miller), I finally checked out Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix and can't recommend it enough. Maybe my favorite thing I've watched this year? Fallout was good and Delicious in Dungeon too, maybe I'm forgetting something else, but...lots of disappointments and faffing about too (hello Hashira Training Arc). As far as BES, Any show that blasts a Japanese cover of For Whom the Bell Tolls while the main character is tripping balls on some psychedelic flower while fighting a heavy to the death with a glowing blue samurai sword forged from a fallen meteorite...what more do you want in life? End WAS a bit "and we have a second season too!" but, I'll forgive it, since...we get a second season!
12. 100+ degrees for the next week. **** me!
