Slightly overdue... I've been good about keeping these updates going once a week, but this one slipped by.

1,200 words brought Trouble and Captain Jack to completion, and out for editing. The story came back from the first editor yesterday with some great changes... looking forward to going through it in more depth than I could (far too) late last night.

No words were written on "green man", which means it is far less likely to see completion before the September 1st deadline of the anthology I am writing it for. Not impossible, but far less likely.

On the business side of things, I made contact with a Harrisburg bookshop for doing book signings and so forth. I had that ~ and contacts with the other shops ~ on the to-do list for September, but I just happened to be at the shop for a freelancer's meeting. The primary market that I have in mind for Full Moon Poetry requires their authors to have a number of contacts with bookstores, newspapers, and libraries, to help with promotion of the books, so this is the first on that list.

Finished Works:
  • Full Moon Poetry, urban fantasy, 14,100 words ~ in editing ~ needs formatted ~ two markets in mind
  • Trouble and Captain Jack, steampunk, 8,500 words, in editing, for an anthology
  • Ghost Dance, urban fantasy, 5,500 words, edited, needs to be prepared for submission, have market in mind
  • The Hollow Man, fantasy noir, 4,600 words, submitted 6/14/2012
  • The Sky Galleons of Mediolanum, Renaissance-Era Macedonian Empire steampunk, 4,400 words, submitted 7/27/2012
  • Of the Leaves and of the Waves, urban fantasy, 4,100 words, edited, needs to be prepared for submission, have market in mind
  • A Rose for Princess, fairy talish fantasy, 3,800 words, submitted 8/1/2012
  • Never Ever After, myth/fantasy, 3,100 words, in editing, have market in mind
  • Empress Awakened, classic fantasy, 1,400 words, need to resubmit
